Report: Jim Harbaugh, NCAA working toward 4-game suspension over false statements

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh and the NCAA are reportedly negotiating a resolution that will result in the coach being suspended for four games this season, according to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger.

The suspension stems from alleged false statements he made to NCAA investigators. It centered on an NCAA investigation into recent recruiting violations committed by the Wolverines’ staff members.

The NCAA alleged Harbaugh was dishonest about the violations in his initial meeting with investigators, per Dellenger.

“Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and NCAA are working toward a negotiated resolution that is expected to see him suspended four games this season in penalties stemming from alleged false statements he originally made to investigators, sources tell Yahoo Sports,” Dellenger wrote on Twitter.

Michigan opens the season at home during its first four games against East Carolina, UNLV, Bowling Green and Rutgers.

The suspension has yet to be official, but is expected per Dellenger.
