News broke on Monday that Michigan is expected to suspend head coach Sherrone Moore for two games during the 2025 football season. The self-imposed punishment follows an investigation into the program’s advanced scouting operation from 2023, one led by former analyst Connor Stalions. Moore was the team’s offensive coordinator at the time.
The punishment is not Michigan’s first from the scandal. The Big Ten already suspended then-head coach Jim Harbaugh for three games during the 2023 campaign after the ‘impermissible, in-person scouting operation’ first came to light.
ESPN’s Dan Wetzel and Pete Thamel were the first to report the latest update. They note that after further investigation, ‘the NCAA cited Michigan for 11 violations, six of which were deemed Level I…Moore’s suspension ties back to allegations that he deleted a thread of 52 text messages with Stalions.’
Here is their full report:
Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore is expected to be suspended for two games for the upcoming 2025 season as part of self-imposed sanctions by the university for the Connor Stalions advanced scouting scandal, industry sources told ESPN.
The suspensions will be for Michigan’s Week 3 and Week 4 games against Central Michigan and Nebraska. Moore will also be barred from any team-related duties during those weeks, and will receive additional recruiting-related penalties. The NCAA can still punish Moore in addition to the self-imposed school penalties. A final resolution is expected before the start of the season.
Notably, Moore will miss Michigan’s Week 3 home game against Western Michigan and Week 4 road game at Nebraska. He will be on the sidelines for the team’s opener against New Mexico and its marquee Week 2 road trip to Oklahoma, the head coach’s alma mater.
