The Michigan Wolverines will soon learn the fate of their case with the NCAA over its alleged sign-stealing operation, which included a committee on infractions hearing for June 6-7. The bulk of the punishments are likely to be levied toward former head coach Jim Harbaugh and staffer Connor Stalions, according to one insider.

ESPN’s Dan Wetzel believes that show causes are coming for both Harbaugh and Stalions, barring them from college football.

“There is an NCAA committee on infractions hearing scheduled for June 6th and 7th. This is the Connor Stalions advanced scouting operation,” Wetzel said on The College GameDay Podcast. “I believe it’s just that. Are we fully litigated on the, quote, unquote, just a cheeseburger case? And I always thought that was actually a much bigger deal than people pretended. If you’re not allowed to meet with a recruit and then you meet with a recruit, that’s a penalty in the NFL … I may not have been as outraged about Connor Stalions as others, but I found that one to be a much bigger deal …  

“I miss Harbaugh because he was great color. But I think I could predict one thing that will come from this hearing, this meeting, this penalty, we will not be seeing Jim Harbaugh back in college football. He will get a show cause on this, Connor Stalion’s gonna get a show cause, but they have in their hearing, the NCAA will have 45 days to issue a ruling. Perhaps we might actually get this done.”

Could we perhaps get more clarity this summer on what is coming? It could be trending in that direction.

Michigan quote of the day

“Those two are immeasurable. They were a big part of our success last year, and they’ll be an even bigger part of our success this coming year. What they do behind the scenes, in the locker room, in the unseen hours, the invisible hours that no one talks about, those guys are as impactful as probably anyone that I’ve ever been around. Their selflessness, their servant leadership is impressive. Those guys, in five years, 10 years, 15 years, they’re going to be incredibly successful at whatever they decide to do and however long their bodies hold up playing this game. But we’re very, very grateful that those guys hung around, and took it to another level even this year.”
