Less than a week after being upset in the College Football Playoff semifinal, Michigan has more bad news incoming.
Multiple sources told Sports Illustrated that Michigan football is under an NCAA investigation and that charges are expected soon. One of the potential rules violations includes a Level I violation on coach Jim Harbaugh after he allegedly didn’t cooperate with investigators, per Yahoo! Sports’s Dan Wetzel.
While the nature of the alleged violations was not divulged (Yahoo! Sports reported that were four Level II violations being investigated), there is no indication that the case involves severe allegations of misconduct. Among the possible paths of resolving the case short of a Committee on Infractions hearing is a negotiated resolution, in which the school and NCAA Enforcement agree on both the violations and their classification (Level I, II, III or IV, with Level I being the most serious). A negotiated resolution would expedite a finalizing of the case.
