"Let the outside noise be the outside noise," newly elected Michigan football captain Derrick Moore said. "We’re going to be together as a team."

The Michigan football team is appealing the NCAA’s decision, but no matter what, the Wolverines will not face a postseason ban, and they won’t have any wins vacated. Michigan won the 2023 national championship, and now the team is hunting for another.

Former head coach Jim Harbaugh received a 10-year show-cause penalty as a result, while the staffer at the center of the controversy, Connor Stalions, received an eight-year show-cause ban. Michigan says it’s appealing the ruling.
