ESPN’s Dan Wetzel predicted Jim Harbaugh and Connor Stalions will definitely received show causes from the NCAA due to the sign stealing scandal. As the hearings roll on, there’s finally expected to be a decision this summer.
Still, we have to wait and see. One thing’s for sure, as Wetzel pointed out, we won’t be seeing Harbaugh and Stalions back in college football any time soon. Particularly Harbaugh.
Granted, the former Michigan head coach is rolling in the NFL again and likely will end his career there. But if he wanted to come back to college, there’s not really a path in the coming years.
“There is an NCAA committee on infractions hearing scheduled for June 6th and 7th. This is the Connor Stalions advanced scouting operation,” Wetzel said on The College GameDay Podcast. “I believe it’s just that. Are we fully litigated on the, quote, unquote, just a cheeseburger case? And I always thought that was actually a much bigger deal than people pretended. If you’re not allowed to meet with a recruit and then you meet with a recruit, that’s a penalty in the NFL … I may not have been as outraged about Connor Stalions as others, but I found that one to be a much bigger deal …
“I miss Harbaugh because he was great color. But I think I could predict one thing that will come from this hearing, this meeting, this penalty, we will not be seeing Jim Harbaugh back in college football. He will get a show cause on this, Connor Stalion’s gonna get a show cause, but they have in their hearing, the NCAA will have 45 days to issue a ruling. Perhaps we might actually get this done.”

Harbaugh and Stalions are likely going to get show causes due to this scandal, but it doesn’t stop there. Wetzel and fellow insider Pete Thamel previously reported current head coach Sherrone Moore received a self-imposed suspension for two games this coming season. However, he will sit out games three and four.
“You and I reported last month that Michigan has offered up the suspension of coach Sherrone Moore for the third and fourth game of the upcoming season, which was fun because the second game is Wolverines at Oklahoma, which is his alma mater, and where he played offensive line,” Wetzel said. “So presumably he wants to coach that game and would rather miss the next two games, which are Central Michigan and Nebraska.
“So he is accused of deleting 52 text messages in a thread from Connor Stalions. They were able to retrieve the texts. Lesson to everyone, deleting the text means nothing …But there was nothing incriminating on this, apparently. There’s nothing that shows like there’s no text that says, ‘Hey, make sure you get your college buddy over to Ohio Stadium Saturday and film the sidelines.’ So we don’t there’s nothing really that says Sherrone Moore knew.”
Wetzel added that Michigan’s defense was likely not going to go very well. So punishment, like winter, is coming.
