The biggest question Michigan football fans have been asking about the NCAA investigation into advanced scouting is, when will we know the punishment?
Michigan went in front of the Committee on Infractions last Friday and Saturday. The Wolverines had a chance to argue their case. Connor Stalions was one of the people in attendance. We know Jim Harbaugh didn't attend.
Beyond that, we don't know much else.
NCAA President Charlie Baker shed some light on the hearing on Wednesday, via Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports.
Charlie Baker tells @YahooSports he did not attend the 2-day Michigan infractions hearing last week but received a report.

“It was a thorough hearing of the issues, and everybody that wanted to speak their piece, for the most part, got it.”
He expects a ruling in 30-90 days.
“It was a thorough hearing of the issues, and everybody that wanted to speak their piece, for the most part, got it," Baker said of the meeting, although he confirmed to Dellenger that he didn't attend.
NCAA President offers time for Michigan punishment
Baker also told Dellenger that he expects a decision in the next 30-90 days. With the NCAA wanting Sherrone Moore to serve a suspension, at least according to reports, and the fact that the Wolverines have proposed their own two-game, self-imposed suspension for Moore to miss the third and fourth games of the 2025 season, indicates that something wil come down before the season starts.
While rival fans are hoping that Michigan will have wins vacated from its national championship season, and before that, there hasn't been any reporting to suggest that will happen. Outside of show-cause penalties, and a suspension for Moore, Michigan is likely facing a huge fine.
That's my prediction. Chris Balas of The Wolverine reported on Tuesday that "nothing has changed" in terms of the expected punishment. Baker also said previously, "No one believes at this point that Michigan didn't win the national championship fair and square."
No one except Ohio State fans who still can't figure out how Michigan has beaten them four straight times.
