The NCAA announced sanctions against Michigan for a sign-stealing scheme, including forfeiting postseason revenue and a 10-year show cause penalty for coach Jim Harbaugh, who has moved on to coaching the Chargers and declined to comment on the sanctions. Despite the penalties, Michigan's team will still compete in the postseason, and Harbaugh remains focused on his NFL team.
Former Arizona State football coach Herm Edwards has been issued a three-year "show cause" order by the NCAA for his involvement in recruiting violations, meaning any school that hires him will have to justify why they should not be sanctioned. The violations stemmed from meetings with over 30 high-school recruits during the COVID-19 "dead" period, leading to Arizona State being ordered to vacate 10 wins from 2021 and 2022. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, also under investigation, could face a similar penalty, while Edwards has returned to ESPN after leaving Arizona State.
Former Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon has been given a 15-year show-cause penalty by the NCAA after providing insider information to a bettor, resulting in a $100,000 wager attempt against his team. The NCAA found that Bohannon communicated with the bettor via an encrypted messaging app, sharing details about the starting lineup before notifying the opposing team. Alabama baseball has been placed on probation for three years and fined $5,000, while Bohannon's show-cause penalty requires any prospective employer to justify hiring him to the NCAA.
