Last week the NCAA made its final ruling on punishments for the infamous Michigan sign-stealing scandal from 2023. To say it was a slap on the wrist would almost be too harsh. The punishment amounted to an easily-payable fine and some similarly-light recruiting restrictions.

Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer recently shared his thoughts on the NCAA's ruling regarding the Michigan sign-stealing controversy, drawing a sharp comparison to his own experience with NCAA sanctions during his tenure with the Buckeyes.

Wrists have been slapped in the Michigan Wolverines sign-stealing scandal. The university received a significant fine, and head coach Sherrone Moore is expected to serve a third one-game suspension sometime in the 2026 season after already slated to be out for Weeks 3 and 4 in the 2025 season.
