"Michigan Football Program Penalized for NCAA Violations"
Michigan and individuals associated with its football program have agreed with NCAA enforcement staff on recruiting violations and coaching activities, resulting in three years of probation, a fine, and recruiting restrictions for the school, as well as one-year show-cause orders for the individuals involved. The violations include impermissible in-person recruiting contacts during a COVID-19 dead period, impermissible tryouts, and exceeding the number of allowed countable coaches. The former coach's portion of the case will be considered separately, with the committee's final decision pending.
