NCAA hands Michigan $20M fine, show-cause penalties for sign-stealing scandal

August 15, 2025

By Cody Nagel, CBS Sports: The NCAA imposed a significant fine on Michigan, reportedly exceeding $20 million, stemming from the loss of postseason football revenue over the next two seasons. This comes as a part of its sanctions following an investigation into an alleged sign-stealing scheme involving former Wolverines staffer Connor Stalions. Jim Harbaugh, who served as head coach at the time, will receive a show-cause for 10 years. Stalions has an eight-year show-cause.

Penalties for coach Sherrone Moore include a two-year show-cause order, during which he is suspended for three games. That includes the self-imposed two-game suspension in addition to the first game of the 2026 season.
