Soon enough, we'll get a resolution to the NCAA investigation into alleged advanced scouting done by former Michigan football staffer Connor Stallions.
More information dropped on Monday, at least in the punishment phase, as Michigan is self-imposing a two-game suspension on head coach Sherrone Moore for the games against Central Michigan and Nebraska.
Ohio State fans are treating this as a victory, and a sign that "the hammer" is coming. The NCAA has a hearing scheduled for June 6-7 for the committee on infractions, according to Pat Forde.
Sherrone Moore could get additional penalties at that hearing. However, folks acting like this is the start of some larger punishment are taking part in wishful thinking.
This isn't an acknowledgement that Moore was part of the scheme. This punishment is for "failing to cooperate" which is ridiculous since Moore turned over the text messages that were deleted anyway.
There was nothing in them. If there were, the NCAA would be gunning for Moore even more. Instead, Moore is being treated or will be, as a "repeat offender." He was also suspended a game for the "Burger Gate" investigation.
So Moore got suspended for a minor violation and is getting suspended again for something minor. There's no talk about postseason bans or vacating wins, how could there be, when even the NCAA President said Michigan football won the national title, "fair and square."
Moore is taking the brunt of it, because Jim Harbaugh and Stallions are beyond the reach of the NCAA outside of a strongly worded show-cause, which will mean nothing, just like the show-cause orders given to Jesse Minter and Steve Clinkscale last week.
Michigan football not having its head coach for one of the most important games of the season, isn't great. It's a punishment and one I don't agree with. Moore didn't destroy evidence. The NCAA literally has it, so how is that not cooperating?
Either way, Ohio State fans celebrating Moore's punishment should check themselves, because if this is the "hammer", Michigan football will be just fine.
