The NCAA said that Jim Harbaugh didn't have any knowledge of what Connor Stalions was doing, or direct him to do what he did, at least according to the evidence it had.
Yet, that didn't stop the NCAA from leveling a 10-year show-cause penalty against the former Michigan football head coach, a penalty more severe than the one given to Stalions, the man at the heart of the scandal.
Harbaugh thumbed his nose at the NCAA for years, calling them out for their corruption. This was the result.
