Seems like that nobody knows to keep it in their pants in Michigan.

[Brett McMurphy @Brett_McMurphy]

From Michigan: Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately. Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior
