Jim Harbaugh wasn't too keen to weigh in on his latest NCAA punishment. The Los Angeles Chargers coach was asked aboutMichigan's penalties from the NCAA for the Connor Stalions scandalafter his team's 23-22 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Rams. And Harbaugh made his statement about the matter pretty simple and straightforward. "Like I said to you last year, I'm not engaging,"Harbaugh saidin his postgame news conference. Harbaugh was given a 10-year show-cause penalty by the NCAA as part of the punishments for the advance scouting scheme. The NCAA said that Harbaugh had a frosty relationship with the Michigan compliance department and that "aspects of the record suggest that there may have been broader acceptance of the scheme throughout the program. At a minimum, there was willful intent not to learn more about Stalions' methods. However, the true scope and scale of the scheme — including the competitive advantage it conferred — will never be known due to individuals' intentional destruction and withholding of materials and information." Stalions got an eight-year show-cause penalty and Michigan was fined tens of millions of dollars including future revenues. The schoolwas not given a postseason ban, nor was it forced to vacate any of the winsaccumulated during its 15-0 national title season in 2023. The school said Friday that it was appealing the penalties. In the moments after the win, the Rams poked a little fun at Michigan's punishment on social media.

Friday's show-cause penalty was the second one that he's received in the past 13 months. In August of 2024,the NCAA suspended him for a year and gave him a four-year show-cause penalty for recruiting violations. Overall, the show-cause penalties mean that any school that looks to hire Harbaugh over the next 13 years must go in front of the NCAA and justify how his hiring won't lead to any other broken NCAA rules and the governing body has the right to stop the hire. However, given that Harbaugh is entering his second season back on the sidelines in the NFL, there's no current need to worry about his future in college.
