Hey B149 how have you been lately ?    Getting ready for the NCAA & NFL  seasons  ?

And Harbaugh,  what have you done now ?  Level 1 fine yet.   :lol:  .......

......Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh and the NCAA are in discussions about a so-called negotiated resolution for a four-game suspension in the 2023 season, sources confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.

The looming suspension is tied to an NCAA recruiting investigation into Michigan in which Harbaugh faces a Level I violation, the most serious kind in the NCAA's purview, for not cooperating with NCAA enforcement. .....

....And his lawyer said  .....

ConnelHarbaugh's attorney, Thomas Mars, said in a statement: "We are continuing to work cooperatively with the NCAA staff on an enforcement matter. At this time, we are not allowed to comment on possible penalties or other aspects of the matter."

"We are continuing to work cooperatively with the NCAA staff on an enforcement matter," Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel added in a statement Tuesday. "At this time, we cannot comment further on any aspect of the matter."

The alleged recruiting improprieties ---->  continued I'm sure. --->

●-->    Give the 2023 Michigan schedule maker a bonus because the Wolverines' soft opening of a much-anticipated campaign may prove to be as valuable as J.J. McCarthy, Blake Corum and Will Johnson combined.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh and the NCAA are working toward a negotiated resolution that is expected to see Harbaugh serve a four-game suspension to start the season. The penalties stem from allegations he made false statements to NCAA investigators in a case largely involving Level II — or minor to moderate — violations.

●-->    The NCAA is a voluntary organization and thus considers lying to its enforcement staff to be a serious — Level 1 — violation. Hence the significant suspension.

The penalty — a quarter-season suspension — is undoubtedly harsh considering the current state of college athletics. Due to new name, image and likeness rules and general NCAA enforcement incompetence, things that once seemed to be egregious violations are now either legal or simply ignored.

■---->   Yet Harbaugh has no one but himself to blame.

He was initially investigated for clear, but hardly significant, violations. He allegedly met with two recruits at an Ann Arbor hamburger joint during a COVID-19 dead period. He allegedly watched some player workouts over Zoom. Some so-called “analysts” allegedly participated in actual coaching during a practice.

On their own, they merited not much more than a slap on the wrist. All Harbaugh had to do was admit to them, get a little refresher course on the NCAA manual and all would be forgiven and forgotten.

Instead the NCAA alleged, and apparently Harbaugh is ready to agree, he misled investigators when first questioned. He apparently didn’t think about credit card receipts, video footage and other evidence that might be ironclad.

●---->     As such, everything snowballed to this.

Getting hit with a quarter-season suspension is not easy these days. Consider that current McNeese State and former LSU basketball coach Will Wade was given just a one-third of a season suspension (10 games) after being caught on an FBI wiretap discussing a “strong-ass offer” to a recruiting middleman.

Right or wrong, that’s how the system works.

Michigan’s saving grace is that September schedule. It should blunt the impact of the suspension in a year when Michigan is eyeing a third consecutive Big Ten championship and third consecutive College Football Playoff appearance. ----> CONTINUED  ---->

It's been 1337 days since OSU beat Michigan 

Is that a M/OSU record  ?   I don't think so either way.   :lol:
