Pete Thamel and Dan Murphy reported Sunday that Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore is one of seven members of the 2023 Wolverines accused of violating NCAA rules, according to an NCAA notice of allegations draft ESPN obtained over the weekend.
The draft states Moore allegedly deleted a thread of 52 text messages with former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions in October 2023 – the same day media reports revealed Stalions had created and operated the Wolverines' sign-stealing operation.
While Moore could face a show-cause penalty and a suspension for his involvement in the scandal, Thamel said Monday that the head coach's punishment could be the most severe of the penalties the NCAA will hand Michigan.
