ESPN has obtained a draft of the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations (NOA) regarding the Michigan Wolverines and the Connor Stalions sign-stealing investigation, and now it’s been revealed that Michigan’s head ball coach could be facing some punishment as well.

The headline of the draft states that head coach Sherrone Moore could face a potential show-cause penalty and/or a suspension for allegedly deleting text messages — text messages that were later recovered using “device imaging” by the NCAA — between himself and Stallions, and due to his designation as a repeat offender.

Per the ESPN report, “The draft, which could be subject to change, states Moore could face a show-cause penalty and possibly a suspension for allegedly deleting a thread of 52 text messages with former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions in October 2023 on the same day that media reports revealed Stalions was leading an effort to capture the playcalling signals of future opponents.
