Sherrone Moore Suspended Two Games Amid NCAA Probe

Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore is expected to serve a self-imposed two-game suspension during the 2025 season as part of the university's response to the Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal. Moore will be barred from all team activities for Weeks 3 and 4, missing games against Central Michigan and Nebraska, but will coach high-profile matchups against New Mexico and Oklahoma beforehand. The suspension stems from allegations that Moore deleted 52 text messages exchanged with Stalions on the day the scandal broke in October 2023; the messages were later recovered and given to the NCAA. This marks the third straight season a Michigan head coach has been suspended amid NCAA investigations, following previous sanctions against Jim Harbaugh. In August 2024, the NCAA cited Michigan for 11 violations in a Notice of Allegations and may still impose further penalties. Additional recruiting-related penalties for Moore are also planned.
