Big news emerged in college football on Friday as the Michigan Wolverines officially received their punishment from the NCAA for the sign-stealing scandals under former head coach Jim Harbaugh. While the Wolverines avoided any repercussions regarding the legitimacy of their 2023 Big Ten and national titles,

Michigan was hit with severe financial penalties as the long-running, sign-stealing saga came to a close on Friday

The NCAA has fined Michigan tens of millions of dollars and suspended coach Sherrone Moore for a third game over a sign-stealing scandal.

The Michigan Wolverines' football program was given four years of probation and future fines expected to exceed $20 million as the result of its past sign stealing scandal on Friday. Head coach Sherrone Moore is expected to serve a self-imposed two-game suspension plus an additional one-game suspension.

Chris Partridge, a former assistant coach at Michigan who was fired in 2023 amid the Wolverines’ advance-scouting scandal, celebrated the release of the NCAA’s report on the case Friday evening.

Rival fans were hoping for much, much worse -- so was SEC fanatic Paul Finebaum, apparently. On the Paul Finebaum Show, Finebaum opened up by bashing the NCAA on its penalties to Michigan.

After Connor Stalions received an eight-year show-cause from the NCAA for his involvement in Michigan's sign-stealing saga, his lawyers issued a statement.

Jim Harbaugh has no interest in reacting to the NCAA's penalties levied last week after its investigation into sign-stealing at Michigan, which includes a 10-year show-cause for the former Wolverines coach.
