Overview

• The infractions ruling imposed four years of probation, new recruiting restrictions, multi‑year show‑cause orders for Jim Harbaugh (10 years) and Connor Stalions (8 years), a two‑year show‑cause for coach Sherrone Moore, and a two‑game suspension this September plus one game in 2026 for Moore.
• Michigan kept all 2023 results and faces no postseason ban, with the committee noting vacated wins apply when ineligible players compete and stating a ban would unfairly hit current athletes.
• The NCAA said the full competitive impact cannot be determined because individuals destroyed or withheld materials, limiting definitive findings.
• Michigan has begun a months‑long appeal focused on cutting fines that could exceed $30 million, and the school will not pay until the appeals process concludes.
• Reaction has split, with Urban Meyer, Bob Stoops and Joel Klatt criticizing the NCAA’s consistency and timing, others defending the 2023 title on merit, and Michigan players and staff expressing relief about playoff eligibility and intent to move forward.
