ANN ARBOR, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The University of Michigan athletic department is facing heavy fines and postseason revenue loss in addition to sanctions on head football coach Sherrone Moore after the NCAA announced on Friday its decision on the illegal scouting/sign-stealing case.
Moore has been penalized three games, including a two-game self-imposed suspension this season as well as the first game game of the 2026. UM’s athletic department has been slapped with enormous fines, including losses of postseason revenue for the next two seasons.

The decision comes after an investigation into former staffer Connor Stalions.
The silver lining in Friday’s announcement came in the form of being spared a postseason ban and vacating wins.
Moore, who will miss Games 3 and 4 — at home against Central Michigan and the Big Ten opener at Nebraska — also was given a two-year show-cause order. The order can be transferred to another school that hires the coach while the sanctions are in effect.
UM and Moore must send letters to the NCAA agreeing to abide by the restrictions imposed.
