FOX 2 - The impact of the Sherrone Moore firing and criminal case goes beyond shaking up the community and University of Michigan.

The backstory:

Aftershocks for the football program will also no doubt be felt with the firing and detainment by police of Moore leaving a stain on the school.

Moore was arraigned on three charges Friday - including home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering. It comes just days after he was fired for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

If convicted, Moore may face up to six years in prison.

Rico Beard from 97.1 said the impact on current student-athletes with the program, as well as future recruits will be something to watch.

"Real talk - I think you have a lot of kids watching the way, we're watching," he said. "And they need to know where the leadership is with this school. (They are saying) 'I don't know what's going on with this school. Our coach has failed us, our athletic director may not be here, I don't know what is going on.'"
