Michigan Football Program and Individuals Reach Agreement with NCAA on Recruiting Violations
Michigan’s football program and five individuals linked to it have come to terms with NCAA enforcement staff regarding recruiting violations and coaching activities. The agreed-upon infractions include prohibited in-person recruiting contacts during a COVID-19 dead period, unauthorized tryouts, and exceeding the permissible number of countable coaches.
The school acknowledged that the violations showed a violation of head coach responsibility and that a former coach did not cooperate with the investigation. However, one former coach did not participate in the agreement. The Committee on Infractions panel has approved the agreement but will review the remaining portion of the case separately.
The Division I Committee on Infractions has made the infractions case public and has allowed for the immediate implementation of penalties for both the school and the individuals involved. The agreed-upon penalties consist of three years of probation for the university, a financial penalty, and restrictions on recruiting activities.
Additionally, the individuals involved have accepted one-year show-cause orders that correspond with their specific violations. A final decision is pending on potential violations and penalties for the former coach. Notably, this is the fourth instance where the committee has utilized multiple resolution paths for NCAA violations. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
