He pleaded no contest in March 2026 to misdemeanors and was fired Dec. 10, 2025 for entering Shiver’s apartment and threatening self-harm.

Summary

Moore Probation Review

Sherrone Moore's probation-status review hearing is set for October 2027.
Moore became Michigan’s head football coach in January 2024 after Harbaugh left for Los Angeles Chargers and compiled a 16-8 record in two seasons.
The court sentenced him to jail time, credited it for time served, and suspended the balance as he remains on probation.
The sentencing video aired on April 14 2026, with the plea agreement dismissing the third-degree felony home-invasion and stalking counts.

History

Historical Context

After the NCAA’s 1985 emergency meeting created the Repeat Violator rule, it used that authority in February 1987 to impose the “death penalty” on Southern Methodist University, canceling the 1987 football season and all 1988 home games. The $61,000 slush-fund scandal and the sanction’s lasting impact have made the NCAA wary, with only two later death penalties—Morehouse (2003) and MacMurray (2005)—ever issued.
