ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was sentenced Tuesday, April 14, 2026, to 18 months of probation after reaching a plea deal on March 6 and pleading to misdemeanor charges stemming from a confrontation with a staff member and an inappropriate relationship. ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The sentencing included fines, a no-contact order, mandatory mental health treatment, and prohibitions on alcohol and drugs; the victim, Paige Shiver, released a statement this week saying the sentence did not reflect the harm she described. Separately, a 1998 college yearbook listing Gov. Wes Moore as a member of College Republicans surfaced this week and was confirmed by the college, prompting requests for clarification.
