University of Michigan Press Release

The University of Michigan Athletic Department Monday (Aug. 21) announced that it is self-imposing sanctions in an ongoing NCAA matter related to its football program.

Included in the self-imposed sanctions is a three-game suspension for Head Coach Jim Harbaugh, to be served during the opening three regular-season games of the 2023 season.

The sanctions are in addition to previously imposed recruiting restrictions. 

“While the ongoing NCAA matter continues through the NCAA process, today’s announcement is our way of addressing mistakes that our department has agreed to in an attempt to further that process,” said Warde Manuel, the Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics. “We will continue to support coach Harbaugh, his staff, and our outstanding student-athletes. Per the NCAA’s guidelines, we cannot comment further until the matter is resolved.”  

An announcement on interim coaching appointments will be made at a future date.
