Jim Harbaugh Faces 4-Game Suspension For NCAA Violations: Report

ANN ARBOR, MI — Michigan Wolverines head football coach Jim Harbaugh is likely to be suspended for the team's first four games of the upcoming season after NCAA officials said he violated numerous recruiting policies, according to Yahoo! Sports' Ross Dellenger.

Harbaugh, 59, acknowledged the Level II violations, but maintained he never purposefully misled investigators, according to the report.

Defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald and two Michigan assistants are also expected to receive some punishment, according to the report.

Michigan's first four games are against East Carolina, UNLV, Bowling Green and Rutgers (all home games), which the Wolverines will likely be favored to win.
