ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The NCAA has informed Michigan that the organization will announce the results of its sign-stealing investigation today, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

For Michigan fans, the pride of the championship remains. For rivals and neutral observers, the achievement carries an invisible asterisk. It is this asterisk, not the $20 million fine, that defines the punishment. Michigan will always be remembered as a champion, but in the same breath, it will be remembered as a program that cheated.

Jim Harbaugh won’t be returning to college football anytime soon after the NCAA came down with a punishment for the University of Michigan’s sign-stealing scandal. He’s barred from coaching at the college level for 14 years, not that he has any plans of leaving the Los Angeles Chargers in the near future.

The 74-page NCAA report detailed the rift between Jim Harbaugh's football program and the Michigan compliance department.

Penalties were handed down by the NCAA to the Michigan Wolverines on Friday, effectively concluding the Wolverines' recent scandal involving inappropriate sign-stealing allegations during the Jim Harbaugh era in Ann Arbor.

After Connor Stalions received an eight-year show-cause from the NCAA for his involvement in Michigan's sign-stealing saga, his lawyers issued a statement.

Michigan football has a few qualified candidates who could take role of interim coach while Sherrone Moore serves his two-game suspension in 2025.
