Overview
- Michigan said an internal investigation found credible evidence Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, a violation of university policy.
- Moore was detained Wednesday and booked into the Washtenaw County Jail in connection with an alleged assault; prosecutors are reviewing potential charges with an arraignment expected Friday.
- Because he was terminated for cause, the university will not owe the buyout on his five-year contract.
- The school named Biff Poggi interim head coach as the Wolverines prepare for the Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl against Texas and manage potential roster movement under transfer-portal rules.
- Officials have not identified the staff member or released specifics of the relationship or the alleged assault; earlier NCAA-related suspensions and recovered texts tied to the sign-stealing case remain part of Moore’s recent record.
