(UNDATED) - Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore is facing allegations he violated NCAA rules related to an investigation into impermissible scouting and sign-stealing that hung over the program through its run to last season's national championship, three people briefed on an impending notice of allegations told The Associated Press on Sunday. Two of the people said Moore has been accused of deleting approximately 52 text-message exchanges with Connor Stalions, the former low-level recruiting staffer who coordinated an off-campus, advance-scouting operation, around the time the investigation was opened. That allegation was included in a draft of the NCAA’s notice to Michigan, the people said. The individuals spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the notice was confidential. One of the people said the NCAA has recommended a Level 2 violation for Moore, with Level 1 being the most serious, and that messages between Moore and Stalions were recovered and that the coach provided them to the NCAA. ESPN first reported Sunday it had obtained a copy of a draft of the notice of allegations, which could be different from the final version of the document sent to Michigan. The 38 year old Moore was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach when Jim Harbaugh left Michigan to become coach of the Los Angeles Chargers shortly after leading the Wolverines to their first national title since 1997. Moore filled in as acting head coach four times last season while Harbaugh served suspensions, winning all four games, including the season finale against rival Ohio State. Moore and Michigan could face more serious charges from the NCAA as repeat violators, coming on the heels of a separate investigation of recruiting violations. The latest Michigan case is still likely months, at least, from being resolved. NCAA policy gives schools 90 days to respond to a notice of allegations. After a response, the school would be scheduled for a hearing in front of the NCAA's committee on infractions, though a negotiated resolution would still be possible.
