Maaaayyybee…the B1G is playing 4-D chess, immediately suspending him against a good Penn State team, hoping UM will lose, then will also lose to OSU, won’t be in the playoffs, and everyone will forget about it.

A TRO "restrains" a party from taking an action, not limited to just domestic actions. Also could be termed a temporary injunction.
Why wouldn’t UM have the signs today, whether Harbaugh is coaching or not? Wouldn’t they have acquired those already? Or are you saying they changed them since the last game?
Harbaugh not on the sidelines means that UMich can’t steal signs?
So the TRO is on the B1G?
For the sake of clarity, I prefer temporary injunction.
Against the B1G Commissioner as he is the one with the power to act. The Michigan judge set a hearing for Friday so nothing was granted today and JH can't coach today.
I would imagine that Penn State has done something to mitigate sign stealing.
What I'm saying is that if UM loses, their fans will point to Harbaugh's absence. If they lose (think TCU) AND Harbaugh is coaching, it's easier to point to sign-stealing as being correlated.
Also: Why is Gameday tickling Michigan's balls here? Is anybody willing to hold them accountable, or at least acknowledge the seriousness of this?
Definitions could vary jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but here:
The Difference Between a Temporary Restraining Order and a Preliminary Injunction
While similar, there are identifiable differences between temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, and each of them has a specific place.

Opposite it true.
The dangerous precedent is to not act.
Under the rules they don't have to have definitive evidence on his part. They have clear evidence that there was advance in-person scouting by a member of the Michigan staff who then was interacting with Michigan coaches.
NCAA rules clearly and without exception state that the head coach is responsible for knowing and controlling what happens in his program, institutional control.
And even if they don't have memos or other stated evidence that Harbaugh knew it is utterly ridiculous to think that his coaches were using the information and he didn't know what was going on. These coaches are control freaks, they know every detail of what is happening.
If I'm a Michigan player, I am pissed, feeling disrespected, and 100% focused on showing the world that there is no asterisk next to what we've accomplished.
I wouldn’t discount this being the case
Because a blue blood stealing signs isn’t a serious matter for the money folks.
So weird
for context, it's worth noting that the "everyone else does it too" defense is the line that coaches, administrators, journalists and fans routinely use to justify recruiting violations.
It all nests so nicely with your sig .gif.
I hope they do leave. Something drastic needs to happen to get this **** show of a sport under one governing body and I think Michigan leaving the B1G for the SEC could be the start of it.
it certainly would be a move that garners the attention of the sports watching nation.
It's only leverage if the other party thinks you will follow through with the threat. Michigan would be valuable to the SEC. Probably accretive. But are they really going to give up the biggest regular season game in the sport because their fee-fees got hurt? That game is worth money to Michigan (and Ann Arbor), too. No game against an SEC school is going to replace it in terms of revenue and visibility.
assume you're talking about their game w/ OSU. but you're assuming that if UM left the B1G that OSU would refuse to schedule them -- I'm not sure that assumption is justified
The idea that Michigan would leave the B1G for the SEC is comical
They think they can make the playoffs even with Harbaugh coaching via ear piece.
what a crock of **** and so predictable.
the conference ends its own investigation. michigan takes its best shot at the nc. in 18 months or so, the ncaa will decide that michigan should be punished. oh goss. "vacating" some wins maybe? or maybe a prospective bowl ban or prospective loss of scholarships or similar wrist slap?
in that interim, michigan and the b10 capitalize on whatever michigan is able to achieve in the CFP and bank the money and eyeballs. harbaugh, if he doesn't like the way the ncaa is going to handle the scandal, will scoot off to the nfl and that will be that.
no order to show cause on him. no consequence to this team for cheating. maybe the former assistant gets an order to show cause. that will fix everything.
the ncaa is a chicken **** feckless soulless body of dithering corrupt douchebags who have failed entirely and utterly in their mission.

oh and this whole **** about "not punishing the players" is also a total crock of ****.
the ncaa will ULTIMATELY impose some sanctions on the michigan program, but the players who will suffer from those sanctions are not even the group of players that benefitted from the cheating and that future group of players will have eat whatever **** the ncaa decides long after the spoils of glory have gone to a different set of players and coaches.
this stinks.

Central Michigan better watch out, 3 years of probation for lending a recruit a pair of gloves on an official visit.
