00:00 Should Michigan fans be worried?

00:01 Well, head football coach Jim Harbaugh could be faced

00:03 with a four game suspension to start the season,

00:05 which is tied to an NCAA recruiting investigation.

00:08 Now Harbaugh has been accused of allegedly lying

00:11 to NCAA investigators in initial interviews

00:13 about contacts that him and his staff had

00:16 with recruiting prospects.

00:17 Now we should know Harbaugh's status

00:18 ahead of the season opener,

00:19 but even if he does miss the first four games of the season,

00:22 it shouldn't be too costly for the team and here's why.

00:25 Michigan's schedule doesn't start to get ultra competitive

00:27 until kind of the middle mark of the season.

00:29 Their first four games are also all being played at home

00:32 and against teams like East Carolina,

00:34 UNLV, Bowling Green and Rutgers,

00:36 who by the way, they should be heavily favored against

00:38 as a top ring team.

00:39 So if Harbaugh has suspended the first four games

00:41 of the season, do you think Michigan still goes 4-0?
