Just a few weeks ago, Michigan football announced that it had committed recruiting violations.
Today, the Wolverines found out that their head coach, [autotag]Jim Harbaugh[/autotag], will most likely be suspended for the first four games of this coming season. Some of the violations included meeting with recruits during a dead period and texting outside of permitted windows according to this report by CBS Sports.
Fortunately for the Wolverines, they always seem to have a cake-walk of a nonconference schedule (East Carolina, UNLV, and Bowling Green) before taking on a team with a semblance of a pulse in Rutgers.
Harbaugh lied to NCAA investigators and thus the penalty was harsher than many that it proceeded.
Statement from Michigan AD Warde Manuel: “We are continuing to work cooperatively with the NCAA staff on an enforcement matter. At this time, we cannot comment further on any aspect of the matter."
