after Jim Harbaugh Receive Four year offer From the NCAA as a result of recruiting violations in Michigan During the COVID-19 pandemic, some have wondered how… National Football League It will respond. There are similarities with Jim Tressel Penalties for violations committed in Ohio State In 2011.
Of course, Harbaugh is now the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers and no longer plays college football. According to Professional Football Talks Mike FlorioThe NFL declined to comment on whether a precedent was set that year.
The investigation into the Trissel and Ohio State case focused on improper benefits and also saw Terrell Bryer Tressel was suspended for five years if he returned to college. That meant any team trying to hire him would have to “show cause” in order to do so. Additionally, he would have to serve a six-game suspension if he returned to college football during that period.

Tressel’s NCAA sanction was similar to the one handed down to Harbaugh on Wednesday. In addition to the four-year suspension, the former Michigan coach faces a one-season suspension if he returns to college while the suspension is in effect. The violations included impermissible communications and recruiting incentives during the COVID-19 shutdown.
The NCAA report indicated Harbaugh’s violations are Level 2 violations — the second most serious on the scale — but his “unethical conduct and failure to cooperate with the membership violation process” rose to a Level 1 violation. The NCAA considers a Level 1 violation to be the most serious. The association specifically noted that Harbaugh provided “false or misleading information.”
Because of Harbaugh’s “willful disregard for NCAA regulations and unethical conduct,” the seriousness of the case was heightened. The Division I Infractions Committee then elevated Harbaugh’s case to aggravated first-degree misconduct.
