Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said in the conference’s letter to Michigan that its three-game suspension of Jim Harbaugh was not a sanction against him, but a “sanction against the university” itself.

The conference announced Friday afternoon that Harbaugh would be suspended for the remainder of the regular season because of the program’s alleged in-person sign-stealing scheme.
