The NCAA Committee on Infractions on Friday handed the University of Michigan football program a sweeping package of penalties for an in-person scouting and sign-stealing scheme that operated from 2021 to 2023. Sanctions include a $50,000 fine, an assessment equal to 10 percent of the team’s annual budget, and the forfeiture of all College Football Playoff and bowl revenue for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Combined, the financial hit is expected to exceed $20 million. The Wolverines were also placed on four years of probation. Current head coach Sherrone Moore received a two-year show-cause order. The infractions panel accepted Michigan’s self-imposed two-game suspension for the 2025 season and added a one-game ban that will sideline Moore for the 2026 opener after investigators found he deleted 52 text messages related to the case. Former head coach Jim Harbaugh, now in the NFL, was issued a 10-year show-cause order that would keep him off a college sideline until 2038. Former defensive analyst Connor Stalions, identified as the architect of the scheme, was given an eight-year show-cause, while ex-staff member Denard Robinson drew a three-year penalty. The committee said a multiyear postseason ban was warranted but declined to impose one, arguing such a measure would "unfairly penalize student-athletes" unconnected to the violations. Instead, the panel focused on financial penalties and restrictions intended to deter future misconduct, including reduced official visits and a 14-week ban on recruiting communications during the probationary period. Friday’s decision closes one of the highest-profile infractions cases in recent college football history and comes less than two years after Michigan captured the 2023 national championship.
