Michigan football's Jim Harbaugh defends Bo Schembechler in light of Robert Anderson report

Special to Detroit Free Press

BIG RAPIDS — Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh met with members of the media on Thursday for the first time in recent memory during the Ferris State Showcase camp at Top Taggart Field.

Tuesday was the end of the recruiting dead period, imposed by the NCAA near the start of the pandemic, which allows for coaches to have in-person contact with high school players.

But it was the first time Harbaugh publicly spoke about his former head coach and mentor Bo Schembechler and his role in the Robert Anderson's sexual assaults on athletes and students.
