Suspending Sherrone Moore Shows Michigan’s Flippancy in Ongoing Connor Stalions Saga

The Michigan Wolverines have pushed back strenuously against the NCAA and the Big Ten in defending their honor in the great Connor Stalions caper. Yet they keep having head coaches suspended. Funny how the pugnacious stances of the last 18 months have worked out.

ESPN reported Monday that Michigan is suspending Sherrone Moore for two games this upcoming season. That’s an apparent backtrack from the combative, “grossly overreaching” and “wildly overcharging” tenor of the school’s January response to the NCAA’s notice of allegations against the program, which charged the Wolverines with major violations. Makes you wonder what was in the NCAA’s response to the Michigan response, which marked the final step before a Committee on Infractions hearing that sources tell Sports Illustrated is scheduled for June 6–7 in Indianapolis.
