The new contract Sherrone Moore and Michigan agreed to last week will reportedly protect him from being fired for his involvement in the team's alleged sign-stealing scandal that came to light last season.

Per USA Today's Steve Berkowitz and Tony Garcia, Michigan "appears to have agreed not to fire Moore for cause based on its current knowledge of Moore's involvement in the alleged sign-stealing scandal centering on former football staff member Connor Stalions."

The agreement seems to ensure that Moore won't be fired for cause over the facts of the case that are already known.
