Former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh and current head coach Sherrone Moore are named in a draft of the NCAA Notice of Allegations related to the Connor Stalions sign-stealing case and unrelated recruiting violations, ESPN is reporting.

The NOA draft alleges that Moore — the former Wolverines offensive coordinator who replaced Harbaugh as head coach after the 2023 season — deleted a thread of 52 text messages to and from Stalions, the former Michigan staffer who allegedly set up and executed the scheme to steal opponents’ signals. ESPN obtained the NOA draft, which could be subject to change.

Moore would likely be charged with a Level II violation, according to the report. He could also face a suspension and/or a show cause order as a “repeat violator” after he admitted last year to recruiting during the 2020-21 COVID dead period.

Harbaugh, Stalions and former Michigan staffers Chris Partridge and Denard Robinson face Level I violations, the most serious under the NCAA’s penalty structure. Michigan, the defending national champion, is also facing a Level I violation for a “pattern of noncompliance within the football program.”

Harbaugh — who was suspended for the final three regular-season games of 2023 in the Stalions flap after also serving a three-game suspension to start the season for unrelated recruiting violations — left in January to become head coach of the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers. Partridge is currently on staff with the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, while Robinson was fired in May from his support staff job at Michigan after an arrest on drunk driving charges.

Stalions resigned from his job as a Michigan analyst in November, after reports surfaced that he helped organize a well-funded, complex, multi-state operation to steal signals from future Wolverines opponents by sitting in the stands or gaining sideline access at games. Stalions — or representatives whose access he had arranged — would reportedly use smart phones to record video of team’s signals (which is against NCAA rules) in hopes of later deciphering them for use when they played Michigan.

Stalions was also found to have been on the Central Michigan sideline wearing a visitor’s credential for a Sept. 1 game vs. Michigan State. Michigan did not play Central Michigan in 2023, but beat Michigan State 49-0 in late October.

Both Stalions and Harbaugh are accused of failure to cooperate with the NCAA investigation. Harbaugh has repeatedly denied knowledge of the sign-stealing scheme.

Also named in the NOA are former Michigan assistant coaches Jesse Minter and Steve Clinkscale, who are currently on Harbaugh’s Chargers staff. Minter and Clinkscale face allegations of recruiting violations unrelated to the Stalions case.

Netflix is expected to release “Sign Stealer,” a documentary on the Stalions case, on Aug. 27.
