Alabama football's Kalen DeBoer was asked about the NCAA punishing Michigan for its sign-stealing scandal, after he faced the Wolverines with Washington in the 2023 national championship game.

The NCAA sanctioned the Wolverines with a $20-million fine and an additional one-game suspension for Sherrone Moore for the sign stealing scandal.

Michigan was spared a postseason ban and vacating wins, including from the 2023 national title season when the inquiry was launched that October.

After Connor Stalions received an eight-year show-cause from the NCAA for his involvement in Michigan's sign-stealing saga, his lawyers issued a statement.

Before beating Washington in the CFP National Championship game, Michigan beat Alabama in the CFP semifinal at the Rose Bowl 27-20 in overtime. An errant snap by former Crimson Tide center Seth McLaughlin allowed the Wolverines to stop Alabama on a fourth-and-goal Jalen Milroe run play at the 3-yard line to secure the win.
