The measures reflect on- and off-campus recruitment, training activities, and potential violations of university codes and standards during the pandemic period. With the new information about the occasions, the institution is evaluating another suspension after text messages and calls to high school students were found and highlighted in the investigation.

The NCAA continues to determine whether members of the football team met Jim Harbaugh to practice new practices during the prohibited period. If the information detailed by the Detroit News outlet is proven, the coach, once again, will be penalized for four Level II and one Level I violations.
This is not the first time that Jim Harbaugh has been involved in controversy. Later this year, the coach was the target of other investigations that are related to the provision of misleading information to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which under the statute can be considered a violation of Level I.
The investigations began at the beginning of this year and until then new information is being analyzed in light of the circumstances. In his defense, the coach, who has been at the University of Michigan since 2015, denied the information disclosed and states that he had no intention of deceiving any professional.
