"The draft of the NOA reads like the NCAA is frustrated Michigan did not assist them in the investigation, and without the assistance, could not find the white whale of incrimination that it was searching for. However, the NCAA was not leaving Ann Arbor empty-handed.

The uncovered recruiting violations will likely produce a punishment in addition to the alleged lack of cooperation charges, but this still feels like a way of tacking on a jaywalking charge to an accused bank robber.

More egregious than the allegations, the ethics and coverage of this investigation continue to be nasty and ulteriorly driven. A DRAFT of the NOA leaking to ESPN was not a mistake — it reeks of narrative control from a dying organization clinging to power (to be clear, the NCAA, not ESPN).

What’s next? Until Michigan is served an official NOA, more waiting and preparation because this is likely only the beginning. Keep in mind, this is only a draft of the NOA and is subject to change."

Report: Sherrone Moore could face show-cause penalty, suspension due to potential Level 2 violation stemming from sign-stealing saga

Possible NCAA violations and punishments were unveiled for Sherrone Moore and the Michigan football program in a leaked draft Notice of Allegations to ESPN. This all, of course, has to do with Connor Stalions and the sign-stealing saga.

HAMMER TIME!!

Consider the source ........

TBH, I don't give a shit about this, mainly because Thamel loves to stir the pot and get clicks, esp. if it involved Michigan football. Whatever comes of it, comes of it. The Harbaugh led Wolverines used the B10's, Pettiti shenanigans to drive them to an NC. They'll be motivated by this crapola petty much they way they were in 2023/24 crapola.

None of this changes anything. All of this was already known by Michigan, who in fact, recovered and provided the 'deleted messages' to the NCAA. So M already knew this more than a year ago, and ... guess what.... they hired Sherone Moore as HC anyway. Do we really think that Michigan and AD Manuel would have hired Moore if major sanctions were hanging over his head? This is all stuff that Michigan already knows about.

But it does show how dishonesty runs within the NCAA. Some Michigan hating staffer leaked the information to two other Michigan haters at ESPN, and now ALL Michigan detractors are jumping on the train. Typical, and not unexpected.

Nothing has changed. This is still going to take the better part of a year to be sorted out. Michigan has at least 90 days to respond to allegations, and the NCAA routinely grants more time if the institution requests it. Michigan also has a right to a full formal hearing, which they will take advantage of. That also takes time. This is not going to be resolved in calendar year 2024.

Gut feeling is that in the end Michigan will negotiate a settlement with the NCAA that will possibly include:

a. A post season ban of not more than one year
b. Some scholarship losses. ( likely less than 5)
c. Some losses of recruiting visits, both in home and on campus.
d. Suspensions are the NCAA's thing, so Moore will likely sit a game or two.
e. A monetary fine that will be paid by a rich alumni. Jeff has his checkbook ready.

After watching Rich Eisen's show today, where they had Dan Murphy from ESPN on the show, I'm more convinced than ever that the spy gate thing will be resolved without major punishments. I think the worst we'll see is a suspension of Moore for one or two games, and maybe a fine to Michigan. That's going to be about it. I doubt it will be anything like I posted above.

BTW, Dan Murphy shared the byline with Pete Thamel on ESPN regarding the document draft that was leaked to them by the NCAA.

The "worst" remaining Level 2 violation that the NCAA can enforce is Moore's deleting texts between himself and Stallions. And, those texts were later recovered, and turned over to NCAA investigators. So, I see a nothing burger there, because A: Michigan knew about the texts before hiring Moore, and hired him as HC anyway, and B: those texts are not referred to in any way in the letter leaked by the NCAA. So, nothing was there.

The real target of the investigation was Harbaugh. The NCAA hated him, and wanted him gone. He's gone. They got what they wanted. Mission accomplished.

So lets get on with the new season. CRD still has a promise to keep.

If anyone is interested, the Eisen show can be seen on replay on the ROKU channel, if you have it. Its the 2nd hour.

Here's what JH had to say about the stuff that came out yesterday:

"Yeah, I do have a comment on that. Never lie, never cheat, never steal. I was raised with that lesson. I have raised my family on that lesson. I have preached that lesson to the teams I have coached. No one’s perfect. If you stumble, you apologize and you make it right. Today, I do not apologize. I did not participate, was not aware nor complicit in those said allegations. So for me, it’s back to work and attacking with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind."

End of story. Brian has a decent take on the "revelations"......

Exactly.

And now, its on the NCAA to unzip its fly and show everyone what they've got. What did their "investigation" find? Lets see how they can tie Harbaugh to Stallions. Show the evidence. The biggest gripe they have with Harbaugh is that he refused to cooperate with them. In essence, they wanted him to incriminate himself. "Help us convict you or else we'll punish you". Harbaugh insists he did nothing wrong. Fine. Now its up to the NCAA to prove he's lying. Lets see it.

Interesting that when the NCAA leaked the document to ESPN, that document obviously had nothing to say about Harbaugh being tied to Stallions. If it did, it would have been front page news. No mention of it at all.

Our local sportscaster on WJRT TV 12 in Flint said "Harbaugh could still face NCAA sanctions in the matter". LOL .. Yeah, uh .. how they gonna do that?

That video is more apt than you think, Wiz.

The song's name is "Can't Touch This". Harbaugh to NCAA ... "can't touch this"

Another opinion by a guy who sometimes has trouble stringing two sentences together.

Uncle Colin knows best.

Damn, SOME people are going to be upset when this investigation results in a meaningless slap on the wrist for M. The only cheaters in college sports

Such as Columbus, OH and their conspiracies…
