Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is “expected” to be suspended for the first four games of the 2023 college football season as part of a negotiated resolution between the program and the NCAA, according to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger among multiple reports. Harbaugh is accused of providing false or misleading information to the NCAA during an investigation into alleged recruiting violations made in 2021 during an extended recruiting dead period.
The NCAA alleges that Harbaugh lied to investigators during an initial meeting about the violations. It appeared as if the parties were headed towards a resolution in the matter earlier this year, however, Harbaugh would not admit that he was dishonest during his meeting with investigators. The Wolverines coach has consistently said he was not purposefully dishonest to investigators but rather that he did not recall the events that led to the alleged violations.
