What is Jim Harbaugh's punishment in Michigan sign-stealing scandal?
When the NCAA's committee on infractions announced its penalties for Michigan's sign-stealing scandal Friday, it included heavy penalties for Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh received a 10-year show-cause order and a prohibition from "all athletically related activities." The new penalty will be added onto the back of a previously issued four-year show-cause order, which the NCAA had previously levied on the former Michigan head coach for violating recruitment rules in 2021. The current Chargers head coach was one of four people named directly in the NCAA's announcement of penalties. Here's what his show-cause order means and whether it will affect the Chargers: MICHIGAN FOOTBALL PUNISHMENT: NCAA suspends Sherrone Moore, show-cause for Connor Stalions What was Jim Harbaugh's punishment? The NCAA hit Harbaugh with a 10-year show-cause order for his involvement in Michigan's illicit "off-campus, in-person scouting scheme" in 2023. It will begin on Aug. 7, 2028, after his active, four-year show-cause order – handed out in 2024 because of recruiting violations in 2021 – ends. CONNOR STALIONS: What does NCAA punishment mean for former U-M staffer hit with show cause What is a show-cause order? A show-cause order is essentially a college football-wide ban on hiring a person to join their coaching staff, barring proof the team hiring the coach will foster an environment that will engender an equal playing field. If Michigan or any other college football program wanted to hire Harbaugh, it would have to appear before the NCAA's committee on infractions and make a strong case for why it specifically wants to hire him. In addition to Harbaugh's new, 10-year show cause, he has a one-year suspension from coaching college football – should he ever return – that the NCAA levied at the same time as Harbaugh's original, four-year show-cause order. The name "show cause" comes from the case that the prospective employer must make to the NCAA, showing reasonable cause to believe that previous infractions would not happen again if a previous offender is hired at a new program. Show-cause orders are a somewhat common penalty imposed on coaches or other personnel found to have violated major rules. DAN WOLKEN: Divided opinions on Michigan sign-stealing scandal just part of college football tribalism How does Jim Harbaugh's punishment affect the Chargers? Harbaugh's punishment was one enacted by the NCAA, which has no jurisdiction in NFL matter. His punishment at the hands of college football's governing entity will have no affect on his current head coaching job with Los Angeles.

New Heights' YouTube glitch raises concerns about Chiefs-Chargers in Week 1
Whenever the NFL migrates to a new streaming platform, concerns emerge as to whether it will work. As it relates to the upcoming Week 1 game to be streamed for free on YouTube, a concern has emerged as to whether it will work. As noted by Chris Bumbaca of USA Today, a glitch in the live stream of megastar Taylor Swift's visit to the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce has raised the question of whether Chiefs-Chargers, which happens three weeks from tonight, will support 20 million or more concurrent streams. The New Heights stream abruptly ended with 15 minutes left in show. While it was resolved, it's fair to ask whether there will be any outages during Chiefs-Chargers. A Google spokesperson told Bumbaca that the New Heights glitch was not a YouTube issue. While there's nothing wrong with being concerned, it would be a surprise if the game doesn't stream without issue. Netflix's Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight has significant issues. Six weeks later, a pair of Christmas games on Netflix worked without incident. YouTube knows what it needs. And the league wouldn't have been inclined to make a bet with YouTube if the NFL wasn't sure YouTube could deliver. We'll find out in 21 days.

5 areas where the Colts still have something to prove after training camp
WESTFIELD -- The Indianapolis Colts wrapped up the Grand Park portion of training camp in Thursday's joint practice against the Packers, setting the stage for Saturday's 1 p.m. preseason kickoff against Green Bay. Injuries have hit the Colts hard over the last two weeks, decimating the cornerback position and creating a temporary deficit at wide receiver and defensive end, although those two spots appear to have fewer long-term concerns than cornerback. Injury has also opened the door for a handful of players to make an impression in training camp, impressions that players have a chance to cement in the final two preseason games before the Colts cut the roster down to 53 players on Aug. 26. With that in mind, here are five spots to watch over the next week, beginning with Saturday's home game against the Packers and ending with the preseason finale in Cincinnati. The battle is still raging between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. Indianapolis head coach Shane Steichen acknowledged Thursday night that time is drawing thin for the Colts to make a decision at the position, but he also said he hasn't made his decision yet, preferring to see how everything plays out in the Packers game and potentially beyond. Jones gets the first two series against Green Bay before giving way to Richardson for the rest of the half, a division of labor designed to invert the way the Colts were forced to play the two quarterbacks against Baltimore, considering Richardson was knocked out of the game with a dislocated pinky finger on the second series. The two quarterbacks have essentially lived up to their reputations in training camp. By IndyStar's unofficial count, Richardson completed 59.2% of his throws, mixing periods of high efficiency with lapses of accuracy, although he didn't consistently throw the deep ball the way he has in the past. Jones completed 68.8% of his throws, but he did not make many plays with the deep ball, and he was often inconsistent on intermediate passes over the middle. The deciding factor may come down to the stuff that isn't easy for fans, media and even the Colts front-office staff to see: the decision-making. The coaching staff knows where the ball is supposed to go on each play, which checks and audibles should have been made. That will likely play a key role in the decision. Colts news: What Colts coach Shane Steichen said about picking a QB Giddens looks like the Colts' best bet to provide a true change of pace for Jonathan Taylor. But it hasn't always been clear that he's going to get that role during training camp. Incumbent backup Tyler Goodson has taken most of the snaps behind Taylor throughout camp, and he has burst, but he's been limited when given opportunities in the regular season the past two years. Giddens, on the other hand, has upside as a runner and pass-catcher. The rookie did drop a pass in the first preseason game, but he's been otherwise reliable as a receiver during training camp, and although he doesn't have Goodson's burst through the hole, he has a knack for finding the hole, avoiding trouble along the way. Big performances by Giddens in the final two preseason games could seal a key offensive role, considering that Goodson is also expected to play a major role on special teams. The Indianapolis starters struggled in the joint practice against Green Bay, but the top five appear to be set, and history suggests that Thursday night's performance was more of an aberration than the expected. An injury to any one of the top five linemen is going to produce questions. Veteran center Danny Pinter has missed more than a week due to injury, which will likely make him Tanor Bortolini's backup at center. Dalton Tucker, by default, appears to be the front-runner to be the top backup at guard, unless Wesley French's versatility puts him in that mix. Then there's the swing tackle job, where rookie Jalen Travis has been battling against Blake Freeland, a third-year player trying to regain momentum. The No. 2 offensive line has had issues during training camp, and if the Colts decide they need help, Indianapolis could wait until the waiver wire to try to find the help it needs. Zaire Franklin is the one known commodity at the position. An ankle injury has knocked the heir apparent on the weak side, Jaylon Carlies, out of the mix. Carlies, who also missed the spring workouts due to offseason shoulder surgery, has likely missed too much time due to injury at this point to have the full confidence of the coaching staff, taking away the Colts' primary plan for Franklin's running mate. Making matters worse, Carlies was still wearing a boot on his right ankle at the joint practice Thursday night, making it unclear when he'll return. That leaves the spot wide open. Veteran Joe Bachie has been the most productive linebacker in training camp, Lawrence Central product Cameron McGrone has been up and down and developmental linebacker Austin Ajiake has flashed at times. A clear front-runner for the position hasn't emerged yet; the final two preseason games might tell the tale. Edwards, an undrafted free agent from Tulane, probably started out training camp hoping to prove himself as a practice squad player. The Colts were loaded with experience at the position. Injuries to Justin Walley (torn ACL), Kenny Moore II (knee), Jaylon Jones (hamstring) and JuJu Brents (hamstring) have pushed Edwards into the starting lineup for the time being. Edwards likely will not have to start the season opener unless another injury occurs, but a path to the 53-man roster is suddenly available, and Edwards has gotten the majority of the chances with the starting unit. A breakout performance against either the Packers or Bengals could make him a sleeper addition to the 53-man roster.
