This seems like one of those headlines we look back on in a month and go, "Boy, that escalated quickly."

The violations include alleged impermissible contact with recruits during the NCAA-mandated dead periods, as well as the use of a defensive analyst for on-field coaching activities, a rules violation. Sources told ESPN that Harbaugh's cooperation with NCAA enforcement staff during the investigation is also being examined. Harbaugh could face penalties that include a multigame suspension, sources said.

Thank goodness no showers or physicals involved, just plain old cheating

Does anyone know what they mean by having a defensive analyst monitoring the field during coaching hours? Like they had a d-specialist watching them practice and that’s not allowed? Or they hired someone to spy on other teams? I don’t get it.

You lost, get over it.

The only reason Harbaugh was still there this year is because the Vikings didn't hire him. He "expects to be at Michigan" unless he is offered any other NFL job.

Beginning of the end. B1G consequences and will step away from the team and eventually take a HC job in the NFL

Arizona perhaps?

i hear denver is looking for fresh meat

He expects to be at Michigan but doesn’t say where…welcome to the new Detroit Lions HC

Some of these allegations were self reported by the university to the NCAA. Apparently Harbaugh misled the NCAA though. Relatively minor infractions, NCAA wants to take out Harbaugh. Somebody high up doesn't like him.

Dawg you’re from Ohio…sit this one out

College coaching staffs are huge. There are only so many coaches permitted on the sidelines. It could be that Harbaugh had a defensive analyst coaching at game time and brought him over the limit.

He will fall flat on his face in the NFL. His schtick barely works in college and definitely won’t fly in the NFL.

It definitely didn’t work when he had 2 Super Bowl appearance in 4 years while posting near .700 over his tenure with the 49ers.

I agree with your sentiment but SF only went to one Super Bowl with him. 2012 Har-bowl vs. Ravens.

You’re right. I was thinking they beat the Giants but that is false.

To be fair to the guy, Cincinnati’s relationship with the rest of the state is…complicated. I think he genuinely meant it as a joke aimed at poking fun at OSU fans. I do understand why many don’t see it as such, though.

People on r/CFB were saying it's because he bought a couple recruits cheeseburgers then lied to investigators about it.

Lol, you sound exactly like my dad. He finds a conspiracy for every sports scandal.
