When Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended for the remainder of the season by the Big Ten Conference on Friday afternoon it was bad enough the suspension was announced while the team was on their flight to Penn State. However, it’s even worse than that.
The Big Ten not only waited to suspend Harbaugh until their plane was in the air, the conference and commissioner Tony Petitti didn’t weren’t who delivered the suspension news.
“Somebody showed me their phone — via social media,” Harbaugh said about how he found out he was suspended.
Harbaugh noted Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel was unhappy about the manner in which they found out about the suspension,
“Warde was pretty upset,” Harbaugh said.
