Overview

• Michigan has imposed a two-game suspension on head coach Sherrone Moore for Weeks 3 and 4 of the 2025 season as part of self-imposed sanctions.
• The suspension is tied to Moore’s deletion of 52 text messages exchanged with analyst Connor Stalions on the day the sign-stealing scheme was exposed in October 2023.
• The NCAA classified Moore’s actions as a Level 2 violation for failure to comply with its investigation, with the deleted texts recovered via device imaging.
• NCAA hearings on June 6–7, 2025, will address the broader sign-stealing case, with potential penalties including a show-cause order that could jeopardize Moore’s coaching career.
• Insiders speculate Moore’s tenure at Michigan may end if harsher sanctions are imposed, echoing the fallout faced by former coach Jim Harbaugh after NCAA penalties.
