"Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh Faces 4-Game Suspension for NCAA Rule Violations: AP Source"

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is facing a four-game suspension for breaking NCAA rules regarding improper contact with recruits, according to a proposed settlement between the school and NCAA enforcement. The resolution is awaiting approval from the NCAA's committee on infractions. Michigan offensive coordinator and line coach Sherrone Moore and tight ends coach Grant Newsome are also facing one-game suspensions. The investigation involves impermissible texts and calls, including some by Harbaugh, during a dead period for contact with potential recruits. The unresolved NCAA issues have delayed Michigan from finalizing a new contract for Harbaugh.
