While it's expected that Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh will be punished for the program's involvement in a sign-stealing scandal, it won't be any easy path for the Big Ten as it is expected that there'll be a legal battle if there's a punitive suspension handed to Harbaugh, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Thamel also reported that any action the league takes against the Wolverines and Harbaugh wouldn't come down for at least the next 48 hours, per its sportsmanship policy.
The rule states that the league has to be given a "reasonable chance" to respond to institutions or individuals that have committed a violation.
