   Michigan and five individuals who currently or previously worked for its   
   football program have reached an agreement with NCAA enforcement staff   
   on recruiting violations and coaching activities by noncoaching staff   
   members that occurred within the football program, and the appropriate   
   penalties for those violations. A Committee on Infractions panel has   
   approved the agreement. One former coach did not participate in the   
   agreement, and that portion of the case will be considered separately by   
   the Committee on Infractions, after which the committee will release its   
   full decision.   
      
   The agreed-upon violations involve impermissible in-person recruiting   
   contacts during a COVID-19 dead period, impermissible tryouts, and the   
   program exceeding the number of allowed countable coaches when   
   noncoaching staff members engaged in on- and off-field coaching   
   activities (including providing technical and tactical skills   
   instruction to student-athletes).  The negotiated resolution also   
   involved the school's agreement that the underlying violations   
   demonstrated a head coach responsibility violation and the former   
   football head coach failed to meet his responsibility to cooperate with   
   the investigation. The school also agreed that it failed to deter and   
   detect the impermissible recruiting contacts and did not ensure that the   
   football program adhered to rules for noncoaching staff members.   
      
   The committee will not discuss further details in the case to protect   
   the integrity of the ongoing process, as the committee's final decision   
   — including potential violations and penalties for the former coach — is   
   pending.   
      
   By separating the cases, the Division I Committee on Infractions   
   publicly acknowledges the infractions case and permits the school and   
   the participating individuals to immediately begin serving their   
   penalties while awaiting the committee's final decision on the remaining   
   contested portion of the case. That decision will include any findings   
   and penalties for the former coach. This is the fourth case where the   
   committee has used multiple resolution paths.   
      
   The agreed-upon penalties in this case include three years of probation   
   for the school, a fine and recruiting restrictions in alignment with the   
   Level I-Mitigated classification for the school. The participating   
   individuals also agreed to one-year show-cause orders consistent with   
   the Level II-Standard and Level II-Mitigated classifications of their   
   respective violations.
