The committee hammered former coach Jim Harbaugh with a 10-year show-cause penalty and hit Connor Stalions, the purported ringleader of the sign-stealing scheme, with a 8-year show-case. A show-cause effectively prevents a person from coaching in college for the duration of the penalty.

The NCAA does not allow teams to send scouts to future opponents’ games and use electronics to record the other team’s signals.

Sherrone Moore’s Michigan Wolverines will kick off the new college football season under a significant sanction, the result of the ongoing sign-stealing scandal.
