Michigan Wolverines alumnus and college football analyst Rich Eisen isn't sure why Sherrone Moore is taking a two-game suspension.

Michigan gave Moore a self-imposed two-game suspension for Weeks 3 and 4 for the Connor Stalions' advanced scouting scandal. However, Eisen doesn't understand why the suspension is happening, as he points to the fact that the NCAA said Michigan's national championship was won fair and square.

"Charlie Baker, the NCAA president, said on the weekend, which they took on Washington, if Michigan wins, it's fair and square," Eisen said Tuesday on his show at 1:06. "That's my point. My point is, hey NCAA, if you think Michigan did it, put it on the table. Put it on the table and explain to us what Michigan did and why the president of the NCAA said it's all fair and square. Other than that, whatever. Let's see it.

"Clearly, there has to be something for Sherrone Moore to say, 'I've got two games I'm willing to sit.' Apparently, it's because, according to Dan Wetzel and Pete Thamel's story, he erased 52 texts between him and Connor Stalions on his phone, which Michigan retrieved and gave to the NCAA anyway."

It's an interesting take from Eisen, as he does make a fair point that Baker said Michigan's national championship was won fair and square.

Yet, the Wolverines decided they should do a two-game self-imposed ban for Week 3 and Week 4 games against Central Michigan and Nebraska.

Michigan won't comment on Sherrone Moore's suspension

Although it was reported that Michigan was handing Sherrone Moore a two-game suspension, the Wolverines aren't commenting on the matter.

With the NCAA still investigating the matter, Michigan spokesman Dave Ablauf says the school can't comment on the suspension or the investigation.

“As you know, we will not comment on an active NCAA case,” Ablauf said, via The Athletic.

Sherrone Moore took over as Michigan's coach in 2024 after Jim Harbaugh took over the coaching job with the LA Chargers in the NFL.

In his first season, Moore led Michigan to an 8-5 record, including ending the year with a massive win over rivals Ohio State and an upset triumph over Alabama in the bowl game.

Michigan will open its 2025 college football season on Aug. 30 against New Mexico.
