The NCAA announced penalties against the University of Michigan following a sign-stealing operation led by former staffer Connor Stalions. Current head coach Sherrone Moore received a three-game suspension, with additional penalties for Stalions and former coach Jim Harbaugh, including an eight-year show-cause sanction and a fine exceeding $30 million for the university. While the investigation unveiled extensive details of Stalions' operations, it did not result in vacated victories or a postseason ban, contrasting with typical expectations surrounding such violations.
The NCAA decision in the University of Michigan advanced scouting case divulges many details from Stalions' scheme, which captivated the country as it unspooled during Michigan's 2023 national championship run.
The punishments for that operation include a three-game suspension for current head coach Sherrone Moore and an 8-year show-cause penalty for Connor Stalions.
Not included: either the vacating of past victories or a postseason ban going forward, sanctions many of the Wolverines' rivals felt were deserved.
The NCAA's Committee on Infractions details an unusually effective and nuanced investigation, offering a glimpse under the hood of Stalions' KGB operation.
