Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh will be suspended for part of the 2023 season after all.
Harbaugh informed his team of the suspension on Monday afternoon and Michigan confirmed the suspension later Monday. It’s a self-imposed suspension from the university that will allow Harbaugh to return for Michigan’s Week 4 game versus Rutgers on Sept. 23, the Wolverines Big Ten opener. Michigan is coming off back-to-back Big Ten championships and has its eyes on a national title in 2023.
Harbaugh and the NCAA had previously come to a tentative agreement for the coach to serve a four-game suspension, but those talks broke down last week.and the case would likely instead move further through the NCAA's disciplinary system — likely after the 2023 season. All three games will be played at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, as will the Wolverines’ Week 4 game versus Rutgers — a game that would mark Harbaugh’s return to the sidelines.
In a notice of allegations sent to Michigan in January, the NCAA alleged that the Wolverines had impermissible meetings with two recruits during a COVID-19 dead period. Other violations — all of which are considered Level II — include texting a recruit outside of a contact period, exceeding the NCAA’s limits for on-field coaches by having analysts instruct players during practice and having coaches watch players work out over Zoom.
