Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh talks Friday hearing
Jim Harbaugh covered a wide range of topics at his Monday press conference, including the upcoming hearing on Friday against the Big Ten, how he learned about his suspension, Michigan’s win over Penn State, and, of course, his chickens.
The Big Ten on Friday sidelined University of Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh for the last three games of the regular season, the conference announced.
The move comes three weeks after the NCAA announced an investigation into Harbaugh and the team over alleged sign stealing.
The Wolverines, who are 9-0, head to Happy Valley to face Penn State, 8-1, on Saturday.
Harbaugh won’t be allowed to coach the team from the sidelines during games but will be able to serve as head coach at practices during the week.
In a lengthy statement, the university condemned the punishment.
“We are dismayed at the Commissioner’s rush to judgment when there is an ongoing NCAA investigation—one in which we are fully cooperating,” it said.
