Michigan given three-year probation, recruiting penalties by NCAA for football violations

Michigan and five current or former staff members of its football program have reach an agreement with the NCAA on recruiting violations and "coaching activities by noncoaching staff members that occurred within the football program, and the appropriate penalties for those violations."

Michigan will be on probation for three years, face a fine and restrictions to recruiting, and the penalized coaches will have one-year show-cause orders, per the NCAA announcement.

Penalties:
- three years of probation for Michigan
- a fine & recruiting restrictions
- one-year show-cause orders for the coaches

One former Michigan coach — presumably former head coach Jim Harbaugh — did not take part in the agreement and the NCAA's Committee on Infractions will treat that case separately.
