An agreement between the NCAA and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh concerning penalties stemming from what the NCAA deemed to be false statements Harbaugh made to investigators has broken down, an industry source told Yahoo Sports.
Harbaugh and the NCAA had come to a tentative resolution that would see the coach serve a four-game suspension to begin the 2023 season. A number of former assistants were also sanctioned.
The deal still needed approval from the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions. Many believed that would be a formality.
However, hurdles arose and the deal is now off, sources said.
