Michigan, Sherrone Moore Withdraw NCAA Appeals for Sign-Stealing Punishments

Michigan and Sherrone Moore are no longer fighting for their NCAA sanctions for Michigan’s illegal sign-stealing operation.

The university and its head football coach have both withdrawn their appeals of the punishments the NCAA levied against them in August after finding that Michigan violated NCAA rules with its impermissible advanced scouting operation orchestrated by former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions.

Per the NCAA‘s Division I Infractions Dashboard, Moore withdrew his appeal on Sept. 29 while Michigan withdrew its appeal on Oct. 6.

When the NCAA levied sanctions against Michigan on Aug. 15, Michigan announced it would fight the sanctions, claiming the decision made “fundamental errors in interpreting NCAA bylaws.
