The NCAA announced Friday Michigan football will face multiple punishments following a nearly two-year investigation into the Wolverines’ alleged sign-stealing and in-person scouting.
Per USA Today:
“The NCAA has slapped Michigan with a sizable fine, handed Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore a two-year show cause order and suspended him the first game of the 2026 season, and put Michigan on four years probation,” Craig Meyer wrote. “Michigan has already self-imposed a two-game suspension on Moore for the 2025 season.”
Many are having strong negative reactions to the NCAA’s ruling, and arguably the most criticism is coming from the USC Trojans’ faithful.
By the way, USC was punished for 7 years, 2 year bowl ban, 30 revoked scholarships, 14 vacated wins, 1 vacated title, 1 vacated Heisman, and the end of a dynasty because Reggie Bush’s parents leased a house they found from a wannabe NFL agent.
The NCAA is corrupt. https://t.co/SWcTG8pYGr

FanSided USC affiliate Reign of Troy’s Gabriel Esparza called out the league for their “blatant hypocrisy and benefit not granted to USC” in a Friday afternoon article.
“The NCAA came down hard with a postseason ban for the Trojans and significant scholarship reductions for what was akin to Reggie Bush trusting the wrong person to handle personal aspects,” Esparza wrote. “Forget that it is widely known and established that the SEC was outright paying players for years under the table. What is particularly bothersome is the proportion of the alleged infraction to what the final verdict ended up being.”

Esparza is of course referencing the early-2000s scandal involving Reggie Bush receiving payments of over $100,000 while enrolled at USC.
