Jim Harbaugh faces level I violation charge from NCAA
The year 2023 has not been a good one for Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh in terms of personal life. Amid the alleged sign-stealing scandal, Harbaugh now faces a Level I violation charge from the NCAA.
As per Detroit News, he is being accused of providing false information during an investigation into recruiting violations during the COVID-19.
The charge involves alleged misleading conduct, particularly during a time when scrutiny on recruiting practices intensified due to pandemic-related restrictions. The NCAA issued a formal notice of allegations, and Michigan has 90 days to respond.
Harbaugh was suspended for three games at the start of the season because of the Level I charges. He was up for further punishment too, but the NCAA intervened, rejecting what could have been a four-game suspension.
The Level I violation, if proven, could have severe repercussions, including a show-cause penalty and suspension in the 2024 season. Amid all the drama, there have been rumors that Jim Harbaugh will move to the NFL with the the Los Angeles Chargers showing keen interest in his services lately.
