Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh facing four-game suspension, per reports

Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh will be suspended for the first four games of the 2023 regular season as part of an NCAA investigation into alleged recruiting violations, according to a report by Yahoo Sports.

As part of a negotiated settlement between the school and the NCAA, Harbaugh will miss home games against East Carolina, UNLV, Bowling Green and Rutgers to start the season.

The penalties stem from alleged false statements Harbaugh originally made to investigators, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Former Wolverines defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, now with the NFL's Baltimore Ravens, is also expected to be sanctioned.
