Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh has been suspended for a year and given a four-year show-cause penalty by the NCAA for recruiting violations.
The penalties announced Wednesday by the NCAA are not related to the Connor Stalions advance scouting scandal that got Harbaugh suspended by the Big Ten for the end of the 2023 regular season when he was still at Michigan. Rather, the penalties relate to the three-game suspension Harbaugh served at the start of the season for an NCAA investigation into recruiting violations during the COVID-19 dead recruiting period.
