It looks like Jim Harbaugh will coach all of Michigan’s games this season after all.
While Harbaugh had reportedly reached an agreement with the NCAA to serve a four-game suspension this year as punishment for allegedly lying to investigators about NCAA violations committed by the program, that agreement was not approved by the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions.
As a result, Harbaugh’s NCAA disciplinary case is expected to continue into 2024, which would mean Harbaugh would not serve any suspension until next year, according to Yahoo Sports’ Dan Wetzel.
NCAA vice president of hearing operations Derrick Crawford said in a statement that “it is not uncommon for the COI (Committee on Infrations) to seek clarification on key facts prior to accepting” and that “the COI may also reject a NR (negotiated resolution) if it determines that the agreement is not in the best interests of the Association or the penalties are not reasonable.
