OT: NCAA with Pyrrhic Victory- Issues 4 Year Show Cause Order to Jim Harbaugh

[Knight Shift]

Why bother? No sanctions to Michigan football?

Former Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh has been punished by the NCAA with a four-year show-cause order and a one-year suspension for violating head-coach responsibility obligations, “unethical conduct” and a failure to promote “an atmosphere of compliance” for his role in an investigation into impermissible recruiting in 2021 during a COVID-19 dead period.
The NCAA released its final 52-page public decision from the Division I Committee on Infractions on Wednesday and said Harbaugh failed to “meet his responsibility to cooperate with the investigation.” The show-cause order is from Aug. 7, 2024, through Aug. 6, 2028, and if hired during the show-cause order, Harbaugh would be suspended for 100% of the first season of employment.

NCAA issues a show-cause to Jim Harbaugh for recruiting violations

It's been widely known (at least in Michigan football circles) that the NCAA has been looking to make an example of former Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh, and now it looks like it is doing just that. In January 2023, it was revealed that the NCAA was…

Jim is sitting at his mahogany desk at SoFi Stadium flipping the bird at the NCAA at this moment I bet.

It was always a political thing and had nothing to do with sports really.
Soon as he opened his mouth on certain topics I knew they would go after him and they did.
Then he won a title and got a better job.
Karma.

The NCAA is a dinosaur. They shouldn’t even be relevant any longer.

They're doomed.

Pointless, absolutely. But that’s not what pyrrhic means. It’s means much too costly for the outcome. Excessive cost.

Not arguing the meaning…just that the ncaa is pointless…its own point. Spending any money on this pointless punishment is pyrrhic

You got the point of NCAA taking pointless action, putting an exclamation point on their pointlessness. Meanwhile the board dufus continues to make an ass of himself tilting at windmills.
