Jim Harbaugh Faces 10-Year NCAA Show-Cause Penalty
The NCAA is punishing people involved in the Michigan Wolverines sign-stealing case.
The coach, Jim Harbaugh, got a 10-year "show-cause" penalty, which means it's hard for him to coach in the NCAA again.
Other people, like Connor Stalions and Denard Robinson, also got similar penalties, but for shorter times.
If a school wants to hire a coach with this penalty, they have to explain it to the NCAA.
The purpose of these penalties is to prevent coaches from avoiding punishment by switching schools.
NCAA imposed a 10-year show-cause penalty on Jim Harbaugh due to Michigan's sign-stealing scandal.
Connor Stalions received an 8-year show-cause penalty, and Denard Robinson received a 3-year penalty.
Show-cause penalties are administrative punishments for NCAA rule breaches.
A school hiring a coach with a show-cause penalty must explain the decision to the NCAA.
Harbaugh's previous show-cause order will run consecutively with the new one.
