The NCAA has issued penalties to the Michigan football program and former head coach Jim Harbaugh. These penalties are unrelated to the Connor Stalions case.

On Wednesday, the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions panel determined Harbaugh "violated recruiting and inducement rules, engaged in unethical conduct, failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance and violated head coach responsibility obligations."

The committee handed Harbaugh a four-year show-cause order as a result of his actions. Should Harbaugh return to college football within the next four years, he would be fully suspended for his first year of employment.
