The NCAA's committee on infractions wrapped up a two-day hearing on Saturday, focusing on the potential punishments for the University of Michigan over allegations of impermissible scouting and sign-stealing. The case, which has drawn significant attention, involves former football staff member Connor Stalions, who was seen entering NCAA headquarters for the hearings.

Michigan has remained tight-lipped about the proceedings, with a spokesperson stating that the school will not comment until a final resolution is reached. This resolution is not expected until later this summer or fall, as infractions decisions typically take at least eight weeks.

The university is facing 11 violations, six of which are classified as Level I, the most serious tier by the NCAA. Most of these violations are related to the scouting and sign-stealing operation overseen by Stalions, who resigned from his position as a football analyst in November 2023 following the public revelation of the investigation.

In addition to the current case, the NCAA has already imposed penalties on former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, including a four-year show-cause penalty and a one-year suspension for violations in a separate investigation into illegal recruiting during the COVID-19 period. The Big Ten also suspended Harbaugh for Michigan's final three regular-season games in 2023 due to the signal-stealing scandal. Despite these challenges, Michigan went on to win the national championship that season.

Harbaugh, now coaching the Los Angeles Chargers, did not attend this week's hearing but could face additional penalties. Other former Michigan assistant coaches may also be penalized, but the primary focus remains on the current program and its coaches, including head coach Sherrone Moore.

Michigan is expected to suspend Moore in Weeks 3 and 4 of the 2025 season as part of self-imposed penalties. This decision follows Moore's deletion of a thread of 52 text messages with Stalions, which the NCAA has since obtained. Moore has expressed his eagerness for these messages to be released but could still face additional penalties from the infractions committee. He is also considered a repeat offender, having served a one-game suspension in 2023 for his role in the COVID recruiting violations probe.

The university itself could be labeled a repeat offender, potentially leading to additional penalties such as recruiting restrictions or a postseason ban.
