Jim Harbaugh , head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, has voiced strong criticism of the NCAA amid ongoing controversies. He highlighted the organization's long-standing practice of restricting financial benefits for student-athletes, pointing to a recent $2.7 billion lawsuit against the NCAA as evidence of its declining credibility.

"They've been keeping money away from players for decades," he said to ESPN's Kris Rhim . They just got hit with a $2.7 billion lawsuit. They have no credibility. That's the truth."
