The NFL and the Chargers declined to comment on the NCAA's 10-year show-cause order against Jim Harbaugh, their new head coach. Harbaugh also refused to comment, echoing his previous stance. The NCAA levied financial penalties and recruiting restrictions on Michigan, Harbaugh's former team, instead of a postseason ban, related to recruiting violations. Harbaugh led Michigan to a national championship before joining the Chargers.
