Ten months have passed. So what? Sherrone Moore and Co. have landed on the NCAA’s watch. The NCAA has officially issued a notice to Michigan Wolverines. While that may not surprise fans, the timeline has raised eyebrows. After all, the charges take the fans back to the 2023 season when ex-staffer Connor Stalions and his alleged scandal came to light.

However, the Wolverines have moved past that dark episode and are gearing up for their silver screen break with a Netflix documentary revolving around the sign-stealer episode. As Moore’s squad was running high in enthusiasm and Stalions took up a new role, the NCAA dropped the bomb, leaving fans annoyed.

Months later, the NCAA takes aim at Sherrone Moore’s program 

It took so long for the NCAA to address the alleged sign-stealing scandal that came to light last fall. Suddenly, the organization thought it was wise to hold the Wolverines accountable. According to reports, the NCAA had zeroed in on seven Michigan staffers who were part of the 2023 season, and this did not even spare the new head coach, Moore. But what exactly happened?

In October last year, Stalions got tangled in a not-so-small scam. According to the allegations, a vast network was allegedly his brainchild. It was not any random network, but one that sent multiple people to games with Jim Harbaugh’s rivals onboard, using the tickets for over three years. This was enough for Stalions to become “the most hated man in college football,” as these players recorded the teams’ signs.

This was enough for Netflix to dedicate an entire episode of the Stalions drama in their documentary Sign Stealer. However, Stalions had marked himself safe from the Netflix hype since he had taken up a new role as the defensive coordinator at a Detroit school. Right on cue, the NCAA came up with the move. 

Fans react to the NCAA’s startling time awareness that lands Sherrone Moore and Co. in trouble

It’s difficult to fool the Wolverines fans, after all. Now that the NCAA dropped after nearly a year had passed, it tells a lot of their sly moves against Moore and the squad. The impeccable timing has amazed a Michigan fan at the tricky scheme who commented, “The timing.” While another fan could not help but share a laugh about how the NCAA’s decision could never break the Wolverines’ morale, “This timing is hilarious!! Tells me that the Connor special on Netflix this week is very positive for Michigan!! I know the locker room is tight so I’m not too worried about this being a distraction.”

Another fan highlighted that it appears the NCAA had been waiting with bated breath to drag Moore and his program through the dirt and went with the Netflix documentary release week, “This what happens when you go an release a documentary. In the face of the NCAA. You know they don’t play that shit. Regardless of the outcome, this is a good lesson in being humble. Bro jus HAD to be on the sidelines. All the space in a stadium an bro had to be in an obvious place. Just too funny.”

Such a coincidence is too real to be accurate, and that is what a fan thinks: “Coincidence that the Netix documentary drops this week? NCAA is a joke.” This has been unaccepted on the NCAA’s part. As a fan stated, “NCAA timing never gets old, but I wouldn’t be worried, though.” As the Wolverines have received the notice, they have 90 days to reply to the Notice of Allegations. Upon this, the NCAA would have another 60 days in hand. Let’s find out if Sherrone Moore’s debut season is a fairy tale or a cliffhanger!
