The Michigan team has seen strange times in recent weeks. And things got all the weirder on Friday afternoon when the Big Ten announced that Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended the remainder of the regular season.
Harbaugh’s suspension comes in light of allegations of sign-stealing by former Michigan analyst Connor Stalions. The Big Ten acknowledged they have no evidence Harbaugh knew of any wrongdoing or committed any offensive actions himself but suspended Harbaugh nonetheless — all while calling it a punishment of the institution and not a sanction of Harbaugh himself. If this doesn’t make sense, you’re not alone and is why this will be litigated in court on Friday.
