Michigan Suspends Coach Sherrone Moore for Two Games Over Scouting Scandal

The suspension, tied to deleted messages with former staffer Connor Stalions, is part of self-imposed sanctions as the NCAA investigation continues.

Overview

  • Sherrone Moore will miss Michigan's Week 3 and Week 4 games against Central Michigan and Nebraska, including all team-related activities during those weeks.
  • The suspension stems from allegations that Moore deleted 52 text messages with Connor Stalions, who was accused of leading a sign-stealing operation in 2023.
  • Michigan imposed the ban as part of broader self-sanctions, which also include recruiting-related penalties, ahead of a June NCAA hearing on the matter.
  • The NCAA may still impose additional penalties on Moore or the program, with a final ruling expected before the 2025 season begins.
  • Moore previously served a one-game suspension in 2023 for unrelated NCAA violations and took over as head coach after Jim Harbaugh's departure to the NFL.
