ESPN’s Dan Wetzel debated whether or not the NCAA would accept Michigan and Sherrone Moore’s self-imposed two-game suspension. Moore is expected to be suspended for games three and four against Central Michigan and Nebraska. 

It was an odd thing considering he’d coach the first two games of 2025. With this punishment, Moore could coach against his alma mater Oklahoma in game two, but not be involved in any team activities for the following two games.

As of now, Moore will not coach those games that were previously mentioned. It is all in relation to the sign-stealing scandal involving Connor Stalions. Right now, Wetzel seemed a little skeptical if the NCAA would accept the punishment.

“Not the first two games of the season. It’ll be games three and four, because — well, we don’t know, but we can speculate this: Sherrone Moore went to Oklahoma,” Wetzel said on The Paul Finebaum Show. “He was an offensive lineman at Oklahoma. And the second game is Michigan at Oklahoma, and this would allow him to coach against his alma mater and then serve a two-game suspension. So we’ll see if the NCAA accepts that.”

Back in January, Michigan reportedly planned to fight the allegations in the Stalions sign-stealing scandal, per Yahoo Sports. According to the 137-page document obtained by Yahoo Sports, Michigan pushed back on many of the allegations.

The school also accused the NCAA of “grossly overreaching” and “wildly overcharging” the program with a lack of credible evidence about the alleged sign-stealing scheme run by Stalions. The person who tipped off the NCAA to the situation came from UM’s campus and, at one point, worked for the school, the document said.

Michigan received an official Notice of Allegations from the NCAA in August of 2024, but the school said it made “numerous factually unsupported infractions, exaggerates aggravating factors and ignores mitigating facts,” according to the document. UM also asked the NCAA to treat the case as a “Level II standard case” instead of a Level I infraction – which is the most severe NCAA violation – and apply “common sense and [a] commitment to fairness.”
