Harbaugh will miss the first three games of the season.
Jim Harbaugh will not be with the Michigan Wolverines for the first three games of the 2023 college football season. Prior to the start of the year, the university self-imposed a three-game suspension for their longtime coach, which means that he will have to watch as the Wolverines play East Carolina, UNLV, and Bowling Green.
ESPN has reported that this was all done to hopefully “soften the potential ruling from the NCAA” that is expected to come in 2024 for alleged recruiting violations during the COVID dead period in 2020.
