Punishment has reportedly been decided for Michigan Wolverines football coach Sherrone Moore ahead of the 2025 college football regular season.
Moore, who took over for Jim Harbaugh, is entering his second season leading the Wolverines program. However, he is reportedly set to miss some games during the 2025 season. Michigan has reportedly decided on the punishment for its head coach, in relation to the advanced scouting and sign stealing scandal.
ESPN college football insider Pete Thamel reported on Monday morning, May 5, that the Michigan Wolverines head coach is set to get suspended by his school for a couple of games in 2025.
Michigan is reportedly set to suspend Moore for two games during the 2025 season, in relation to his role in the advanced scouting and sign stealing scandal.
The suspension is “part of self-imposed sanctions by the university in regards to the Connor Stalions advanced scouting scandal, industry sources tell ESPN.”
Moore will be suspended for two games in 2025:
Week 3 vs. Central Michigan
Week 4 vs. Nebraska
Moore will be barred from participating in any game week activities leading up to that game. He is also reportedly being hit with some recruiting-related penalties.
The suspension is a self-imposed punishment by Michigan, so it remains possible that the NCAA will hand down further penalties to Moore and the Wolverines program. But usually, the NCAA appreciates when programs act first.
Moore had allegedly deleted some text messages with Stalions, the former Michigan staffer at the center of the sign stealing scandal.
Moore’s suspension ties back to Moore allegedly deleting a thread of 52 text messages with Stalions, a former Michigan staffer at the heart of Michigan’s alleged sign stealing scheme.
The alleged deletions came in October of 2023, the same day that media reports detailed that Stalions spearheaded the advanced scouting scheme.
Moore was previously suspended for Michigan’s 2023 season opener, as part of a different case.
