Current Los Angeles Chargers and ex-Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh slammed the NCAA when speaking to ESPN reporter Kris Rhim, saying it has “no credibility.”
Harbaugh has been under fire since last season at Michigan when allegations of illegal scouting via sign-stealing plagued the Wolverines’ reputation in what would eventually be a national championship-winning campaign.
“They’ve been keeping money away from players for decades,” Harbaugh said to ESPN’s Kris Rhim. “They just got hit with a $2.7 billion lawsuit. They have no credibility. That’s the truth.”
Along with the illegal scouting investigation, Harbaugh was hammered with a show-cause penalty from the NCAA for allegedly misleading staffers investigating recruiting violations in 2021. The penalty runs through August 2028, and if he returns to college coaching before then, he will face a one-year ban.
It appears rather unlikely that Harbaugh plans to return to college football. He accomplished his main goal of bringing his alma mater, Michigan, back to glory by winning the national title. After a second consecutive year of NFL rumors flying around, Harbaugh chose to return to the professional ranks and attempt to turn the Chargers into winners.
