Oh.. y'all thought it was done?
Michigan football on Friday learned its fate in the NCAA's sign-stealing investigation, as the Committee on Infractions issued the program hefty fines, show-cause penalties for Jim Harbaugh, Sherrone Moore and Connor Stalions, a four-year probation and other recruiting restrictions. But the case isn't closed yet.
In a press release issued later Friday afternoon, Michigan announced it will appeal the NCAA's decision:
"We appreciate the work of the Committee on Infractions. But, respectfully, in a number of instances the decision makes fundamental errors in interpreting NCAA bylaws; and it includes a number of conclusions that are directly contrary to the evidence – or lack of evidence – in the record. We will appeal this decision to ensure a fair result, and we will consider all other options," the statement reads.
Added Athletic Director Warde Manuel: "I fully support the university's decision to pursue an appeal."
Michigan did not clarify what "fundamental errors" it identified in the NCAA's verdict, and Manuel said he and the university "will not have any further comment" on the case.
The Committee on Infractions had levied the following punishments against Michigan Athletics and related individuals:
"The Infractions Appeals Committee acts based on the record in the case. It will not consider evidence that was not presented to the Committee on Infractions panel, except in limited circumstances," the NCAA says.
Institutions may not request a review that includes an oral argument, but the Infractions Appeals Committee "may conduct an oral argument in the extenuating circumstance where the committee determines it is unable to resolve the appeal case without an oral argument."
Per the NCAA, the average Infractions Appeals Committee case takes eight months from the time of appeal until a resolution is reached. And in most cases, the original punishment is affirmed: In the 13 appealed penalties over the past three years, the Infractions Committee affirmed 10, remanded two and vacated only one.
University of Michigan:
We appreciate the work of the Committee on Infractions. But, respectfully, in a number of instances the decision makes fundamental errors in interpreting NCAA bylaws; and it includes a number of conclusions that are directly contrary to the evidence – or lack of evidence – in the record. We will appeal this decision to ensure a fair result, and we will consider all other options.
Sherrone Moore:
I am glad that this part of the process has been completed. I greatly respect the rules governing collegiate athletics and it is my intent to have our program comply with those rules at all times. I will continue to focus my attention on our team and the upcoming 2025 season.
Warde Manuel:
It is never our intent to be in a position where we are accused of any rules violations. I fully support Coach Sherrone Moore, our student-athletes and staff as they prepare for the season ahead. I appreciate Coach Moore's continued commitment to ensuring his program operates in compliance with applicable rules. I acknowledge the Committee on Infractions' decision to not penalize our current student-athletes by eliminating postseason opportunities; however, a postseason ban should never have been a consideration in this case. I fully support the university's decision to pursue an appeal. Coach Moore and I will not have any further comment.
Happy Friday y'all
BREAKING: Michigan will appeal NCAA ruling in sign-stealing case, citing 'fundamental errors'
Michigan football on Friday learned its fate in the NCAA's sign-stealing investigation, as the Committee on Infractions issued the program hefty fines, show-cause penalties for Jim Harbaugh, Sherrone Moore and Connor Stalions, a four-year probation and other recruiting restrictions. But the case isn't closed yet.
In a press release issued later Friday afternoon, Michigan announced it will appeal the NCAA's decision:
"We appreciate the work of the Committee on Infractions. But, respectfully, in a number of instances the decision makes fundamental errors in interpreting NCAA bylaws; and it includes a number of conclusions that are directly contrary to the evidence – or lack of evidence – in the record. We will appeal this decision to ensure a fair result, and we will consider all other options," the statement reads.
Added Athletic Director Warde Manuel: "I fully support the university's decision to pursue an appeal."
Michigan did not clarify what "fundamental errors" it identified in the NCAA's verdict, and Manuel said he and the university "will not have any further comment" on the case.
The Committee on Infractions had levied the following punishments against Michigan Athletics and related individuals:
- A significant collection of fines, which will include a $50,000 fee, the equivalent of 10 percent of the football team's annual budget, the equivalent of two postseason revenue earnings in 2025 and 2026, and a fine equivalent to 10 percent of all football scholarships in the 2025-26 academic year. According to ESPN, the totality is expected to be more than $20 million.
- Michigan coach Sherrone Moore was given a two-year show-cause penalty and an additional game suspension, which is expected take place in Michigan's 2026 opener. The school already proposed a self-imposed a two-game ban for this upcoming season, which is slated for Week 3 and 4, and that was deemed appropriate by the NCAA. Apart from the three games of suspension, Moore is not prohibited from engaging in coaching or other athletic-related activities during the show-cause period.
- Former head coach Jim Harbaugh, now with the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers, received a 10-year show-cause penalty. His penalty will begin after the conclusion of a current show-cause penalty he is serving from a different investigation, which is slated to end in August, 2028.
- Former staff member Connor Stalions, accused of orchestrating a sign-stealing scheme that went beyond what is permitted by NCAA rules, received an eight-year show-cause penalty.
- Former staff member Denard Robinson was given a three-year show-cause penalty.
- Four years of probation from the NCAA.
- A 25-percent reduction in FB official visits during the 2025-26 season.
- A 14-week prohibition on recruiting communications during the probation period.
