Detroit News FOIA'd the NOA from the NCAA back in December regarding the recruiting and coaching violations.
Michigan suspended Harbaugh for three games. The program and the NCAA came to an agreement over these allegations in April, with essentially "time served" and accepting Michgian's self-imposed recruiting penalties from that fall. Michigan was also placed on a three-year probation. More punishment is expected for Harbaugh who has not come to an agreement over his Level I for misleading the NCAA.

Reporting can be found here.


Here is an excerpt regarding the Level II violations.
According to the NOA, allegation No. 1 involved impermissible recruiting contact and inducements to three football recruits and their fathers. One of the prospects was given access to the football facilities and met with a coach in the weight room. The redacted NOA does not say which coach or coaches were involved, but a recruit and his father were met at a local restaurant and “the football program provided a discounted meal” and also allegedly had a free meal at a local restaurant. The recruit and his father were given a tour of the campus and visited the football facilities, where they were given a tour. The third recruit and his father were met at a local restaurant when they visited the campus. They were provided a tour of the campus, according to the NOA.
