The NCAA has disciplined former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh for recruiting violations that occurred during a COVID-19 dead period in 2020.

Per the NCAA's official release, Harbaugh has received a four-year show-cause stemming from a Level I-Aggravated violation for his "unethical conduct and failure to cooperate with the membership's infractions process" by providing false or misleading information.

Harbaugh is barred from all athletic-related activities, including team travel, practice, video study, recruiting and team meetings, at any school that employed him. If he were to be hired by a school during the show-cause order period, he would be "suspended for 100 percent of the first season of employment" and the results from those games wouldn't count toward his coaching record.
