The NCAA offenses committee spoke on Friday on the endless cheating affair surrounding the University of Michigan.
The establishment has been inflicted a significant fine, including the loss of two years of income -related income from the playoffs, but has escaped punitive sanctions such as a ban on participating in the playoffs.
Michigan was found guilty of spying up opponents between 2021 and 2023, which would have enabled them to steal signals.
The NCAA has also announced an additional suspension of a match for head coach Sherrone Moore. Moore had to serve a suspension of two games in the coming season, a punitive measure that Michigan had proposed to win himself.
Sanctions with obligation of justification, commonly called show-cause In the NCAA, the former coaches of the Connor Stalions and Jim Harbaugh
Respectively of a period of eight and 10 years for the two men, these sanctions act essentially as obstacles to their future hiring by other universities.
If a university decides to hire a coach who has received a sanction from show-cause And which is currently serving its “sanction period”, this university must obtain the agreement of the NCAA for this hiring. This means that the school that wishes to carry out this hire must demonstrate to the NCAA why it should not be sanctioned for this hiring.
As Harbaugh is now a head coach of Los Angeles in the NFL, this penalty will have no influence on his job.
The amount of the fine should be considerable, even if its exact amount is not yet known.
Although there are variables as to the amount that teams will receive on the profits of the football season, some sources consider, on the basis of past profits and projections of the Big Ten conference, that this amount should exceed $ 20 million, or even $ 25 million. Part of this amount will depend on the performance of Michigan and the Big Ten conference this season.
Michigan and its coaches and/or staff members have been accused of six level 1 offenses in this case, which are the most serious.
The decision to inflict a heavy fine in the university and not to resort to a sanction such that the prohibition to participate in the qualifiers testifies to a change in the decisions of the NCAA, which is now moving from prohibitions to participate in the qualifiers.
