Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh had been suspended four games for alleged NCAA violations.
The punishment was reportedly a “negotiated resolution,” but that deal has reportedly fallen through.
The NCAA’s Committee of Infractions declined the deal, and Harbaugh is now expected to coach the entire season.
The new report does not mean Harbaugh is out of the woods. Yahoo Sports notes that the case will “almost certainly” carry into next offseason.
But it looks like Harbaugh will be on the sidelines Sept. 2 against East Carolina.
**Harbaugh was accused of providing “false or misleading information” to investigators regarding impermissible contact with recruits during NCAA-mandated dead periods.
**It was reported that Harbaugh also committed four Level II violations.
