NFL punishment for the Patriots from spygate was so severe, they only went 5 more Super Bowls and only won 3
So is this actually going to happen, or will Michigan sue, get a temporary stay granted, Harbaugh coaches out the year and everyone saves face for this postseason?
At this point it is hard to know. There are signs all over the place. What will they do?
Connor?
Walk ons ate at their training table, or some such thing.
Harbaugh sounds like a real ass. He accused Neuhiesel of cheating once, made a laughable allegation against Carroll. funny.
This is absurd. Michigan is currently boarding their plane for Happy Valley and Harbaugh still doesn't know if he'll be eligible to coach tomorrow. The B1G couldn't have handled this any worse.
Sure they could, and by the time it is over they will have demonstrated that fact.
MSU and PSU have already set the bar.
This UMich situation has a ways to go.
So… Harbaugh has to miss the Penn State, Maryland, & tOSU games (likely gets to coach all three because of appeal). He can be back for the B1G championship and playoffs.
And the suspension gets pushed to next season when he might not even be there…..
A 3-game suspension is very light if true, but not unexpected. Michigan probably should have been banned from the BIG championship and postseason play this year if you really want to prevent this sort of cheating in the future. As it is, every Michigan accomplishment this year has been, and will be, tainted. But judging from the reactions of Michigan fans, players, and coaches, they don't care. Goody for them.
Would be shocked if Harbaugh misses any games this season. B1G gets to look like they’re doing something and UMich gets their conference/natty opportunity. All decisions get pushed to the offseason. Maybe he misses the first 2-3 games next season, maybe he takes an NFL job. Either way, Harbaugh appears to get off mostly unscathed.

He’s had a good fall. Lawn mowed. Leaves raked. Chain gang duty at local HS games. Helping wife with groceries.
So they just magically had this employee of the program (Stalion) who knew what the other teams signs meant allowing them to adjust to them but Harbaugh didn't know anything about it? And they did it multiple games but they claim that they got no competitive advantage from it?
The more they respond the more ridiculous they sound but the B1G, in a similar fashion to the member institutions that comprise it is going to do everything possible to protect the image of their top revenue value programs.
After Sandusky, Nasser, Jim Jordan, and others what Harbaugh has done is minor.
I have no idea what this post means.
Only thing I can think of is that maybe the B1G didn't include the championship game because that prevents Harbaugh coaching during their appeal - if he did, the conference could vacate those wins and bar the team from the championship even if they won them.
They were clear about regular season games. They’re not going to add a suspension for the conference title game. They don’t actually want him to be suspended. This is all for appearances.
Correct.
They want to do the minimum necessary to be able to claim they are addressing the situation without actually addressing the situation.
Here’s how we know that the B1G DGAF about this matter: they would have suspended Harbaugh indefinitely from coaching in all B1G sanctioned football games if they wanted to actually lay down the law. They would have anticipated the appeal process dragging out and included the championship game/all future conference games for next year.

What Harbaugh did this fall during first suspension.
