Overview
- Michigan terminated head coach Sherrone Moore for cause after an internal inquiry found credible evidence of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
- Moore was charged with third-degree home invasion plus misdemeanor stalking and breaking and entering, released on a $25,000 bond with GPS monitoring and no-contact conditions, and is due back in court on January 22.
- At his arraignment, prosecutors said Moore entered the staffer’s residence, grabbed knives and scissors, threatened self-harm, and that both the staffer and Moore acknowledged a lengthy relationship.
- The Board authorized a broader outside investigation into the athletic department’s handling of the matter, increasing scrutiny of athletic director Warde Manuel and recent oversight lapses.
- Some sensational claims circulating in media were disputed by those involved, though an OnlyFans model shared a screenshot alleging Moore messaged her after his release.
