NCAA makes final decision on punishment in Michigan's sign-stealing scandal originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The University of Michigan and its football program learned on Friday of its punishment for its involvement in the Connor Stallions sign stealing case.

Ann Arbor ― Michigan’s current players certainly had a vested interest in learning the NCAA’s punishment of the program for an investigation into an illegal scouting scheme, particularly whether that would yield a postseason ban that would affect them.

Michigan learned its fate this week after the NCAA revealed its full punishment for the Wolverines football program in the wake of the sign-stealing controversy. As expected, Michigan will appeal that decision.
