Jim Harbaugh's 'Burgergate': NCAA Investigation Over Recruiting Violations

Aug 8, 2024, 02:00 PM

Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the Michigan Wolverines, has been embroiled in a prolonged investigation by the NCAA. The investigation, which has been ongoing for three years, centers around a violation during a recruiting dead period where Harbaugh allegedly met with recruits and later misrepresented the meetings. The case has been colloquially referred to as 'Burgergate' due to a trivialized aspect involving a cheeseburger. Speculation has arisen about whether the investigation influenced Harbaugh's career decisions, including a potential move to the NFL.
