The rumor that's going around is that during COVID, a couple of recruits traveled to Ann Arbor for an impromptu visit. This was during a recruiting blackout, so contact had to be very limited. One violation (or two?) occurred because Harbaugh took them out for burgers. The Level 1 violation is apparently because Harbaugh lied about paying for lunch. Another violation or violations are apparently because an analyst or analysts had some sort of extra duties on the field during practices.
Keep in mind that the source may be pro-Michigan and is framing this more innocently than it is. The one Level 1 violation could result in a suspension - the NCAA usually ends up slapping wrists as long as there's no cover-up.
I don't think this is why the rumors were going around that Harbaugh was done with the college game, but you never know. At any rate, Michigan has to respond to the allegations now, and then the NCAA does its thing. And the Harbaugh to the NFL panic seems to have died a bit, but until NFL teams actually interview for openings, that doesn't mean much.
