Big Ten suspends Jim Harbaugh for season

In a 13-page report, the Big Ten announced its decision to suspend Harbaugh from the sidelines for the remaining games of the 2023 regular season. The authorities claimed they found that the Wolverines were involved in “an impermissible, in-person scouting operation over multiple years, resulting in an unfair competitive advantage that compromised the integrity of competition,” via the NY Post.

The Big Ten said it wasn’t a sanction of Coach Harbaugh; instead, it was a sanction against the university that “under the extraordinary circumstances presented by this offensive conduct, best fits the violation.”

With this suspension, Harbaugh will miss the next three games against Penn State, Maryland, and Ohio State. However, he’s allowed to attend practices and other team activities during the week. The veteran coach also missed the team’s first three games this year due to an investigation into multiple Level II “recruiting violations” and a Level I violation for “lying to investigators.”

However, Michigan is reportedly going to appeal Harbaugh’s suspension, and hence, he might be allowed to continue coaching tasks during the team’s match against Penn State on Saturday. What’s your take on the announcement of the Big Ten? Tell us in the comments.
