NCAA Imposes Sanctions on Michigan Football for Recruiting Violations

The University of Michigan faces three years of probation, fines, and recruiting restrictions following NCAA investigation into violations during COVID-19 dead period.

Michigan football program penalized with three-year probation, fines, and recruiting limits for violations committed under former coach Jim Harbaugh.
NCAA's sanctions stem from impermissible in-person recruiting and other infractions during a COVID-19 dead period in 2020.
Former coach Jim Harbaugh faced multiple suspensions due to the violations, including a self-imposed three-game suspension by Michigan and a three-game suspension by the Big Ten.
The NCAA continues to investigate additional allegations against Harbaugh, who did not cooperate with the initial investigation.
