Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and the NCAA were working toward a negotiated resolution regarding violations alleging Harbaugh misled NCAA investigators, but multiple national reports on Saturday indicate that has been derailed.
What this means is the case involving Michigan and Harbaugh, who faces a Level I allegation by the NCAA that he lied and misled investigators who were looking into Level II violations during the COVID recruiting dead period in 2021, is now headed to a hearing before the Committee on Infractions.
The negotiated resolution was thought to involve a potential four-game suspension, involving game days only, for Harbaugh.
