Michigan's wait for an NCAA decision is over.
The NCAA ruling in a case against college football's winningest team will be released Thursday, according to a person with knowledge of the governing body's final decision.
The person, who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because no one is permitted to comment on the case until NCAA announces its ruling, says the school is ''very happy'' with the final outcome.
The NCAA accused Michigan of five major rules violations related to exceeding practice and workout time in the wake of a Detroit Free Press report last year. The report led to investigations by both the school and the NCAA.
The school accepted responsibility for four of the allegations, but Michigan vigorously challenged a charge that coach Rich Rodriguez failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance with NCAA rules during an August hearing in Seattle.
Michigan announced in May that its self-imposed sanctions included probation for two years and reducing training time by 130 hours over two years - doubling the amount of time the Wolverines exceeded NCAA rules.
The school also reprimanded seven people, including Rodriguez.
