Like a hidden camera that you do not know, we cannot escape the saga of theft of signs centered on your national champion of 2023 Michigan Wolverines.
Jim Harbaugh left. Conor Stalions has disappeared. Almost all important contributors on the team’s field have disappeared. However, the punishments remain.
Michigan has announced a suspension of two self-imposed matches For the current head coach and then the coordinator of the Sherrone Moore offensive. Moore will not only miss the third and fourth matches of Michigan of the season against the center of Michigan and Nebraska, but he will not be authorized to be with the team either. This is a difference with Harbaugh, which has served multiple suspensions during the 2023 season, but was able to lead training.
Now he could surprise you that Michigan would impose this suspension in Moore because, only a few months ago, we learned that Michigan’s response to NCAA’s advice in allegations included sentences such as “many facts” and declared that NCAA was “a reverse operation” however, Michigan also declared in its response that transgressions, including transgressions, Moore that Moore, initially deleted, should be considered as a “standard level II case”.
In other words: we may have committed light crimes, but that’s it.
The suspension of two games is very consistent with the wrist slap for which Michigan looks at. I mean, if Michigan really took that seriously and was afraid of what the NCAA would do, it would not allow Moore to choose when it is suspended, right?
Yes, maybe it raised an eyebrow when you saw Moore suspended during weeks 3 and 4 and wondered why Michigan thought it was necessary to have Moore for the New Mexico match. The reason behind her is Michigan’s second game at Oklahoma. Not only is it a difficult game, but Oklahoma is Moore’s Alma Mater and the school did not want to punish their coach enough to force him to miss a match so important for him.

So, the central games of Michigan and Nebraska will miss instead. Which, by the way, is a difficult scene if you are the Nebraska. You always see yourself as a program capable of competing for national titles, but a team that has recently won a national title examines a game on the road against you as a person for whom he is ready to do without his coach. But, I get lost.
Whether you think this punishment is too hard or not enough, I don’t care. I do not bother to try to convince you in one way or another. Personally, I think Michigan has done enough. Harbaugh served several suspensions in 2023, including the end of the season victory against Ohio State. The team still won the national title. Now, Harbaugh in Los Angeles with an unnecessary cause, Conor Stalions is the subject of a bad documentary Netflix, all the players have left and Moore will serve a suspension this year.
It’s time to move on. University sports are in a rush to the changes that most of us could not imagine only 15 years ago when the coach of Ohio State Jim Tresl ended up losing his job because five players obtained free tattoos. I would bet in 15 years, we will return to the flight scandal of Michigan signs in the same way.
I can see it now. Peyton Manning’s son, Marshall Manning, will approach his 30th anniversary and play for Tennessee volunteers. They have just beat Florida State in the dry championship match (which was played in London) for their fourth consecutive title in the SEC and the play football players are waiting. Will they go through the six unscathed laps to win another national title? And, if they do, will Marshall plan to give a shot to the NFL or to retire and get into broadcasting like his father? Then someone will mention the name of Conor Stalion, and we all laugh at the stupidity of the NCAA.
Seriously, if the NCAA decides to punish Michigan more, what will it be for? It is an institution whose very existence is threatened by fundamental changes to university athletics. Wouldn’t it be better used to spend his time understanding how to sail in the sports he governs through the future than to waste time deciding how players who had nothing to do with something that had happened is punished?
That this suspension of two games is the last so that we can all continue our life.
