The Michigan football program under coach Jim Harbaugh is facing allegations of recruiting violations from the NCAA, according to a report by Angelique Chengelis at The Detroit News.
The alleged violation occurred in 2021 when the NCAA placed restrictions on meeting with recruits in-person due to COVID-19 risks. The report states that the NCAA categorizes Harbaugh’s violation as Level I, considered a “severe breach of conduct.” Michigan also faces four Level II violations.
Recent reports have connected Harbaugh to interest with the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers, two NFL teams who fired their previous head coaches during the season. Harbaugh is the former head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, who he led to a 44-19 record, two division titles and one NFC Championship in four seasons.
