Michigan football fined 10s of millions of dollars, Moore suspended 3 games in sign-stealing scandal
Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel, left, talks with head coach Sherrone Moore, right, before an NCAA college football spring game in Ann Arbor, Mich., April 19, 2025. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya,) ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The NCAA fined Michigan tens of millions of dollars Friday and suspended coach Sherrone Moore for three games for a sign-stealing scandal that has loomed over college football's winningest program for nearly two years. Moore, who was already issued a self-imposed two-game suspension by Michigan, will also be banned from the first game of the 2026-27 season for a total of three games. Moore received a two-year show-cause order, but he will be allowed to fulfill coaching commitments and other athletically related activities. Financial penalties are expected to exceed $20 million and include a $50,000 fine, a 10% fine on the football program's budget, a 10% fine on Michigan's 2025-26 scholarships and a fine equivalent to the anticipated loss of postseason revenue for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Michigan also faces a 25% reduction in official visits during the upcoming season and a 14-week prohibition on football recruiting communications during the probation period. Connor Stalions, a former a low-level staffer who conducted the scouting and sign-stealing operation, was issued an eight-year show-cause order. Former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh faces a 10-year show-cause order following the conclusion of his previous four-year order effective Aug. 7, 2028. Harbaugh and Stalions will be prohibited from engaging in all athletically related activities. The NCAA does not have rules against stealing signs, but does prohibit schools from sending scouts to the games of future opponents and using electronic equipment to record another team's signals. In a notice sent to the school last year, the NCAA alleged that Moore violated rules as an assistant under Harbaugh. Harbaugh, who left the Wolverines after they won the 2023 national championship and now coaches the Los Angeles Chargers, served a three-game suspension in exchange for the Big Ten dropping its investigation into the allegations after the two ended up in court. Moore also was accused of deleting text messages with Stalions before they were recovered and provided to the NCAA. The NCAA investigation surfaced early in the 2023 season amid allegations that Michigan used a robust in-person scouting and sign-stealing operation conducted by Stalions. He was suspended by the school and later resigned. Stalions, who did not participate in the NCAA investigation, recently said he knew almost every signal opponents used in seven games over two seasons. Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti sent a letter to the NCAA Committee on Infractions last month, suggesting that Michigan's football program should not face more sanctions related to the sign-stealing saga. The Wolverines open the season on Aug. 30 at home against New Mexico State and then play at Oklahoma, where Moore was an offensive lineman, on Sept. 6. ___ Larry Lage, The Associated Press

Uber and Lyft stickers are seen on a ride share vehicle is seen at the Nashville International Airport, Friday, Aug. 30, 2024, in Nashville, Tenn. (AP Photo/George Walker IV) LANCASTER, Massachusetts -- An Uber driver was about to drop off his last passenger of the night when he pulled up on a tree branch laying across the road in Lancaster, Massachusetts. Esmelky Acevedo, 33, said he was driving down the tree lined Seven Bridges Road around 1 o'clock Thursday morning. Acevedo said he got out of his car to move the branch when two men suddenly jumped out of the woods and ran for his car. The passenger was still inside. 'I don't know if they wanted to rob us but what I can see is that they wanted the car so bad,' Acevedo told WBZ-TV. 'To be honest it went so fast I just reacted to the situation. I was there but it wasn't me. I could tell it was God taking control of the situation.' Man pointed gun at passenger Lancaster police said one of the two suspects jumped in the driver's seat, and the other ran to the back of the car to pull the Uber passenger out of the car. Acevedo said that man pointed a gun at the woman and demanded her cellphone and other belongings. In the meantime, Acevedo said he pulled the suspect out of the driver's seat. A struggle ensued but Acevedo said he was able to regain control of the car. In bit of quick thinking, Acevedo decided to put the car in drive. An attempt, he said, to distract the suspects so his passenger could run away. 'I kept moving, doing that same process, keep moving, keep moving, so that they could have a good distance between [the passenger] and the two guys,' he said. Acevedo said he then put the car in reverse and accelerated quickly to catch up to the passenger who jumped in the car. The pair called 911. Police say branch was a setup Lancaster police said the suspects used the branch as a setup. Investigators described the men as, 'Hispanic males of smaller stature.' Acevedo said police had possession of his car after he noticed fingerprints on the side of it. The Uber driver of four years said he's never had anything like this happen to him and was thankful his instincts kicked it. 'I did the best that I can to protect [the passenger] and to face the situation because I don't want to happen to anyone else.' Lancaster police said they are continuing to investigate but noted there was no ongoing threat to the public. By Brandon Truitt
