Sherrone Moore’s newly signed contract with Michigan could protect the Wolverines’ head coach from being fired for NCAA violations.
Per the terms of his contract, which Eleven Warriors obtained Monday via a public records request, Michigan can terminate Moore’s employment if it determines Moore violated NCAA rules, even if that violation occurred before he signed the contract. However, the contract also stipulates that a violation that occurred before he signed the contract “shall not be deemed a basis for termination with cause” if Michigan “had actual knowledge of the facts or alleged facts that are the basis for the violation prior to the execution of this Agreement by all parties.
