While Connor Stalions and his sign-stealing operation at Michigan took center stage Friday, there was a behind-the-scenes feud bubbling over between Jim Harbaugh and the school’s compliance department in 2023.

Jim Harbaugh "ran a program that was largely dismissive of rules compliance. There was little, if any, emphasis on following the rules," the NCAA said.

The Michigan Wolverines announced that they will appeal the NCAA Committee on Infractions’ ruling related to the Connor Stalions’ advanced scouting case, per ESPN.

Jim Harbaugh has been disciplined by the NCAA as part of the investigation into Michigan’s infamous sign-stealing scandal, but it does not sound like that is going to have any impact on his NFL career.

Also in the Michigan case, the COI ruled a 10-year show-cause penalty for Jim Harbaugh and an 8-year show-cause penalty for Connor Stalions, sources tell me and Dan Wetzel.

Coming up with a list on Wednesday, ranking the top second-year breakout players in 2025 across college football, Marshall ended up being ranked second of the 11 players who made the cut, just behind projected OSU QB starter Julian Sayin.
