Not sure on that yet

The Oracle guy and his wife will probably cover the fine.

Typical NCAA. It's time to scrap it and move on. Michigan got an expensive, but affordable, slap on the wrist. Harbaugh doesn't care about coming back to college ball. Moore actively participates in cheating then intentionally deletes evidence and is only missing 3 early games. Should have included at least a one-year playoff/bowl ban.

Imagine how weak the penalties will be on the NIL cap stuff if this is the punishment for openly cheating during a game.

And they'll be games against inferior opponents where the team could basically coach themselves without needing any coaches on the sideline and still would win handily 99% of the time.

Oregon, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, and other big spenders are licking their chops after hearing this news.

Larry Ellison probably leaves bigger tips than that fine.

I have always hated the NCAA, but this is egregious even for them. We have a scenario where a team got caught repeatedly cheating, and the NCAA, through action, has clearly indicated they prioritize their own income over the integrity of college sports. To not vacate wins or punish Moore is inexcusable.

Ross Dellenger is reporting that the 2026 game that Moore will miss will be the very first game of the season, which is against Western Michigan.

That's assuming Moore is the coach in 26.  The guy had 1 good year and that came with the Harbaugh carry-over influence.  Michigan will go shopping ....soon

A kid bets on sports not even associated with his and is banished forever, a Team actually cheats to gain advantage while winning the National Championship, slap on the wrist and some fines booster dig out of their couch cushins.

Which would mean pretty much everyone involved would be gone, they get their natty with basically little to no consequences.  The school is paying the financial penalties, not them.

well it looks like they’ll appeal, highly doubt they win tho

Wow! Talk about tone deaf. You got caught cheating repeatedly over an extended period of time, but instead of taking your victory, you play the victim. 

So nothing but a slap on the wrist? What a joke. 

Looks like Hiter was waiting on penalties to be announced... W for Michigan

Have to create the perception that it's a "punishment".  If they go celebrating like "haha we got away with it" then . . . well doesn't really affect anything really.
