A pair of former Michigan football coaches have agreed to separate resolutions with the NCAA for recruiting transgressions during their tenure in Ann Arbor.
The agreements for Jesse Minter, the Wolverines’ defensive coordinator in 2022 and 2023, and Steve Clinkscale, U-M’s defensive backs coach from 2021-23, were both approved by the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions, allowing them to begin serving the punishments immediately.
Minter acknowledged “multiple” impermissible recruiting contacts prior to June 15 of the pending recruits’ sophomore season in high school, which is against NCAA rules. According to the NCAA’s release, Minter “was aware that these communications were impermissible but did not report the violations to the school’s compliance department.”
As a result, Minter, who is now the defensive coordinator under former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh for the Los Angeles Chargers, has accepted a one-year show-cause order. It states that any institution which may employ him is obligated to restrict him from “any athletically-related position.”
