^ Pretty funny.

Harbaugh has officially been suspended for the rest of the regular season. His lawyer is expected to seek a stay from a judge that would allow him to coach tomorrow.

It's a partial suspension. He's allowed to coach during practices, but can't be in the sideline. I'm confident Michigan will find a way around that so Harbaugh can still send feedback to the other coaches in game

I'd have to think Michigan is happy with getting years of illegal intel in exchange for three games without Harbaugh on the sideline. I mean that's a pretty sweet deal.

Responsibility matters, especially the higher up in a leadership role you get. To think that Harbaugh isn't responsible for his Assistants with this kind of behavior is to simply accept irresponsible behavior as tolerable.

At the same time if you're UM you should absolutely feel like this type of punishment isn't something to gripe over despite their bemoaning it.

It was pretty brazen and absurd the lengths that Stallions went to be on actual sidelines in opponent attire.

This is Big Ten punishment, not NCAA. That said, this will deter no one. Open season for cheating now.

It's an interesting precedent the conference is setting. Wonder how it will go. If it's bad enough that Michigan has to vacate wins and all that, and this being the SECOND time in the SAME SEASON Harbaugh is serving a suspension...like, he's definitely gonna Chip-Kelly-dodged-Willie-Lyles out of there next year.

Methinks the focus should be on where the buck stops if Harbaugh "didn't know." Did the Michigan DC Jesse Minter ever question how Stallions was impossibly good at deciphering the calls? Or did he just go with it?

Or, did the players ever question it???



If the players knew, then like, what's all the fuss about not "punishing the players"? They should finish out the season but I seriously question if they should be ruled ineligible for post-conference play (CFP). (This is just a hypothetical, obviously they deserve their due process).

In the end, the Michigan well has been irreversibly poisoned, and there's no such thing as poisoning just part of the well.

It would be cool if the CFP committee had the authority to require the use of in-game headsets (QB, & D leader) for the CFP games and that's how they play this year.

Harbaugh doesn’t care. Weak penalty, being involved in all coaching except the game. Yeah, he’s probably a little embarrassed. But he’s moving on anyway. He will leave a little trail of destruction on UM, but nothing major. On to a richer contract in the NFL. D*ckhead.

Harbaugh wears on people. Not sure who will actually hire him. Probably a raiders hire. He will be good for a few years, before his team and front office start to hate him.

So if Michigan sues the Bigwhatever and loses who pays for that? In that scenario does the Big punish Meatchicken? Poor cheating Belichicks err. Harbaughs? Can’t wait to get Michigan at Autzen again and slap them around. harbaugh is a douche canoe.

Really sounds like the NCAA has quite a bit of evidence already and they're still interviewing people. I'm betting at least a couple more people end up losing their jobs over this whole scheme.

After the academic fraud investigation into North Carolina turned up plenty of evidence but no real penalty, I expect nothing in these things. The inmates (member schools) run the asylum, and it's clear in the toothless enforcement.
