Jim Harbaugh declined to comment on the NCAA's recent sanctions against the University of Michigan, which included fines and the suspension of football coach Sherrone Moore due to a sign-stealing scandal. The NCAA stated it had substantial evidence of a cover-up by Michigan staff. Harbaugh has denied knowledge of the sign-stealing operation. Michigan escaped a multiyear postseason ban, with an appeal planned against the NCAA's ruling. Moore, previously an assistant under Harbaugh, faces a suspension of three games for the scandal.
The NCAA sharply criticized Harbaugh's stewardship over the winningest program in college football when it announced the sanctions, saying it had "overwhelming" evidence of a cover-up by the Michigan staff.
Harbaugh has always claimed he didn't know about the sign-stealing and scouting operation run by Connor Stalions.
Michigan only avoided a multiyear postseason ban because the NCAA decided it wasn't fair to the Wolverines' current student-athletes to penalize them for the misdeeds during Harbaugh's tenure.
Moore will be suspended for two games this September and for the Wolverines' 2026 season opener in Germany.
