Michigan Football Coach Sherrone Moore Suspended for Two Games Amid Cheating Scandal

Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore is expected to be suspended for two games in the 2025 season as part of self-imposed sanctions related to the program's advanced scouting and sign-stealing scandal led by former analyst Connor Stalions. The suspension, which will be served during games against Central Michigan and Nebraska, is tied to allegations that Moore deleted a thread of over 50 text messages with Stalions at the height of the scandal. Moore, who was the offensive coordinator at the time of the violations, is also set to face additional recruiting-related penalties and will be barred from team activities during his suspension. The NCAA cited Michigan for 11 violations in total, including six Level I violations, and may still impose further penalties beyond those self-imposed by the university. The final resolution between the school and the NCAA is pending. Moore succeeded Jim Harbaugh, who previously served a three-game suspension for his role in the scandal.
