ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan is expected to suspend coach Sherrone Moore for two games next season to address allegations that he failed to cooperate in the NCAA’s sign-stealing investigation that rocked college football during the Wolverines’ championship season under Jim Harbaugh in 2023, according to two people familiar with the situation.

Moore is expected to miss the Wolverines’ third and fourth games — home against Central Michigan on Sept. 13 and at Nebraska a week later —and all athletic-related duties during those weeks, they said.
