A one-year show-cause for contacting a recruit too early and not reporting it. Clinkscale’s punishment? A two-year show-cause for impermissible benefits and uncooperative behavior—plus potential game suspensions if employed during that time. It’s a tangled web for these coaches, and the bigger picture around Michigan football’s compliance woes isn’t any clearer yet. Curious about all the nitty-gritty?
