Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh likely will be suspended four games this season, as he and the NCAA continue working toward a negotiated resolution after the NCAA alleged he lied to and mislead investigators for penalties stemming from rules violations in 2021 during a COVID recruiting dead period.

The negotiation resolution has not yet been finalized. Yahoo Sports was the first to report the news, which The Detroit News confirmed with sources.

“We are continuing to work cooperatively with the NCAA staff on an enforcement matter,” Tom Mars, Harbaugh’s attorney, said in a text to The Detroit News on Tuesday.
