"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."

Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer ripped the NCAA for Michigan's punishment as he compared it to the punishment Ohio State got in 2011.
