Penalties were handed down by the NCAA to the Michigan Wolverines on Friday, effectively concluding the Wolverines' recent scandal involving inappropriate sign-stealing allegations during the Jim Harbaugh era in Ann Arbor.

"The NCAA found no evidence that Jim Harbaugh or Michigan coaches directed or had knowledge of low-level staffer's Connor Stalions' alleged off-campus scouting operation," Safie wrote on X. "Jim Harbaugh made a statement in October 2023 that he had no knowledge, and that's supported."

The NCAA just dropped the hammer on former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, handing him a record-setting 10-year show-cause penalty—the longest ever given to a head coach in college football history.

The recent NCAA report detailed a fractured dynamic between the football program and the school’s compliance department.

Investigators declare “overwhelming evidence” of an “impermissible” sign-stealing operation. But the penalties don’t strip away past glories.
