Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel has acknowledged receiving a draft of a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA informing that Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh and several staff members, some of whom are no longer on the staff, are facing serious Level I and Level II rules violations.
These alleged violations stem from impermissible contact with recruits during the NCAA’s COVID recruiting dark period which meant a program could not host recruits. A Level I violation has been levied against Harbaugh in the draft NOA for being dishonest through the NCAA’s investigation, according to a source close to the situation, and the Level II violations apply to coaches involved with the impermissible contact with recruits.
