Michigan faces hefty fines and penalties for sign-stealing scheme
TL;DR Summary
The NCAA imposed significant sanctions on Michigan for a sign-stealing scandal, including a $30 million fine, four years of probation, and extended show-cause penalties for coach Jim Harbaugh and staff involved. Harbaugh's 10-year show-cause penalty could hinder his future college coaching prospects, though it currently does not affect his NFL role. The scandal involved illegal scouting and video recording of opponents' signals from 2021 to 2023, leading to multiple violations and penalties, but Michigan avoided postseason bans and vacating wins, including their 2023 national championship.
