Jim Harbaugh Likely to Face Four-Game Suspension

Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh could be headed toward a four-game suspension to start this season, sources have confirmed to Sports Illustrated.

A negotiated resolution has been reached between NCAA Enforcement and the school and it has been submitted to the Committee on Infractions for approval or rejection, sources familiar with the process say. The general timeline for the COI to sign off on a negotiated resolution is about 30 days. The committee could adjust the penalty or call for a full hearing, which would extend the process several months. Sources said that is not a likely outcome.
