Michigan's sign-stealing penalties and Jim Harbaugh's defiant stance reshape the college football governance landscape and carry clear fantasy implications. The NCAA hit the program with sweeping penalties: Harbaugh faces a 10-year show-cause, Connor Stalions eight years, Sherrone Moore two years plus a three-game suspension, and a fine reportedly exceeding $20 million. Harbaugh refused to comment, signaling a focus on football over fallout, while his lawyer mocked the process with quips about traffic court and a Subway sandwich. The investigation traced to Stalions' orchestration of Michigan's advanced scouting and included a curious episode where a man resembling Stalions appeared on Central Michigan's sideline tied to a 2023 opener. The fallout highlights a strained compliance culture and portends long-term recruiting and depth-chart implications for Michigan, with potential ripple effects across the Big Ten and college football as programs reassess risk, governance, and opportunity. For fantasy managers, expect shifts in Michigan's roster upsides, possible breakout candidates, and a heightened emphasis on coaching staff stability and program integrity when evaluating college talent this cycle.
