Can other teams appeal? Can we "think of the kids" who got screwed out of wins for 3 years and at least retcon all that? That's all I wanted from this. Take those wins away and at least 1 post season ban. Fines aren't shit these days. If this is all true, I'm done with the sport,, it's a joke.

Overwhelming evidence shows impermissible scouting scheme in Michigan football program - NCAA.org

Over the course of three seasons, the Michigan football program committed violations involving an off-campus, in-person scouting scheme, impermissible recruiting
www.ncaa.org www.ncaa.org

As a result of Michigan's most recent infractions case, three parties — Michigan, Harbaugh and Moore — fall within the legislated window to trigger repeat violator status. Michigan's repeat violator status, coupled with its Level I-Aggravated case classification, is sufficient grounds for a multiyear postseason ban. However, the panel determined that a postseason ban would unfairly penalize student-athletes for the actions of coaches and staff who are no longer associated with the Michigan football program. Thus, the panel determined a more appropriate penalty is an offsetting financial penalty instead of a two-year postseason ban.

Similarly, the NCAA membership has shifted from scholarship limits to roster spots. The NCAA membership has not yet determined whether roster reductions will replace scholarship reductions as a core penalty, and the panel did not want to prematurely make that decision on behalf of the membership. Instead, the panel adhered to the percentages contemplated for Level I-Aggravated scholarship reductions but converted the penalty to the financial equivalent of what would have been scholarship reductions.

The total financial penalties in this case will result in a multimillion-dollar fine.

The prescribed penalties for the parties who contested their violations in this case are as follows:

  • Four years of probation.
  • Financial penalties:
    • $50,000 fine, plus 10% of the budget for the football program.
    • A fine equivalent to the anticipated loss of all postseason competition revenue sharing associated with the 2025 and 2026 football seasons.
    • A fine equivalent to the cost of 10% of the scholarships awarded in Michigan's football program for the 2025-26 academic year.
  • A 25% reduction in football official visits during the 2025-26 season.
  • A 14-week prohibition on recruiting communications in the football program during the probation period.
  • Connor Stalions:
    • An eight-year show-cause order, restricting him from all athletically related activities during the show-cause period.
  • Jim Harbaugh:
    • A 10-year show-cause order, restricting him from all athletically related activities during the show-cause period, which will begin on Aug. 7, 2028, at the conclusion of his four-year show-cause order from a previous case.
  • Denard Robinson:
    • A three-year show-cause order, restricting him from all athletically related activities during the show-cause period.
  • Sherrone Moore:
    • A two-year show-cause order, during which he is suspended from a total of three games. Michigan self-imposed a two-game suspension for Moore during the upcoming 2025-26 football season. The panel determined that a suspension for one additional game was appropriate. Therefore, Moore also will be suspended for the first game of the 2026-27 season. Apart from the three-game suspension, Moore is not prohibited from engaging in coaching or other athletically related activities during the show-cause period.

"Stalions also admitted during the hearing that he disposed of his phone in a pond. In a recorded phone call, Stalions said his film was also at the bottom of a pond. Additionally, throughout the investigation, Stalions violated confidentiality requirements, disclosing information related to the investigation to the public. The panel stated, 'In short, Stalions' multiple and repeated failures to cooperate are some of the worst the COI has ever seen.'"

"Additionally, following Oct. 19, 2023, media reports of Stalions' scheme, Moore deleted his entire 52-message text thread with Stalions off his personal phone. The following day, Moore deleted from his school-issued phone a single text that was part of a broader thread that referenced Stalions standing by Moore during a game. When questioned by the enforcement staff, Moore initially blamed the deleted messages on storage space, although he eventually admitted to deleting them as a reaction to the news."
