Urban Meyer, Jim Harbaugh and Michigan

The University of Michigan's football program has officially been sanctioned following an NCAA investigation into the sign-stealing scandal involving former assistant Connor Stalions.
"The NCAA found no evidence that Jim Harbaugh or Michigan coaches directed or had knowledge of low-level staffer's Connor Stalions' alleged off-campus scouting operation," Safie wrote on X. "Jim Harbaugh made a statement in October 2023 that he had no knowledge, and that's supported."
On Friday, Harbaugh was issued a 10-year show-cause penalty by the NCAA as part of the Michigan advance scouting case. The governing body for college athletics found Harbaugh in violation of monitoring his program and failing to cooperate with investigators, both Level I violations.
Former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, now with the Los Angeles Chargers, refused to offer his take on the NCAA's sanctions against Michigan for its sign-stealing scandal, which included a 10-year show-cause order against Harbaugh.
