Jim Harbaugh has been formally disciplined by the NCAA over his alleged position in Michigan’s sign-stealing scheme, however the Los Angeles Chargers coach doesn’t wish to spend any extra time speaking about it.
The NCAA introduced on Friday {that a} Division I Committee on Infractions panel discovered “overwhelming proof” of an unlawful scouting scheme at Michigan that was orchestrated by Connor Stalions. A number of penalties have been handed down, together with a three-game suspension for Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore.
Harbaugh was given a 10-year show-cause order. The NCAA additionally mentioned Harbaugh must serve a one-year suspension if he have been to ever return to teaching in faculty.
Following the Chargers’ 23-22 loss on Saturday evening of their preseason recreation towards the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, Harbaugh was requested in regards to the newest penalties towards him and Michigan. He had a really clear three-word message: “I’m achieved partaking.”
“Like I instructed you final yr, I’m not partaking. I’m achieved partaking,” Harbaugh mentioned, through ESPN’s Kris Rhim.
It’s hardly a shock that Harbaugh isn’t entertaining questions in regards to the Michigan scandal. Harbaugh had a number of stints as a university head coach and gained a nationwide championship in his last yr with the Wolverines. He has additionally been profitable on the NFL stage and led the Chargers to the playoffs final season. The probabilities of the 61-year-old returning to educate in faculty have been already slim, and they’re now subsequent to nonexistent.
There have been some rumblings two years in the past that the NFL may attempt to adhere to any suspension that was imposed on Harbaugh by the NCAA. It does not sound like that’s going to occur, nonetheless.
Harbaugh is solely targeted on getting the Chargers prepared for the 2025 season. The timing of the sanctions towards Michigan has not modified something for the coach.
