The Big Ten is reportedly considering a multi-game suspension for Jim Harbaugh, though Michigan is expected to respond with legal action, according to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger.
reported Monday that the Big Ten is considering “a multi-game suspension” for the Michigan coach amid the NCAA’s investigation into the Wolverines’ alleged sign-stealing scheme.
Michigan has received notice from the Big Ten indicating specific sign stealing allegations but it does not indicate what penalties would be administered, UM sources told— Brett McMurphy No league-administered punishments against Michigan are expected to be announced before Wednesday, as conference rules give the school 48 hours to respond to the notice of allegations.
“The school or Harbaugh would have to prevent a cause of action,” Winter said. “That could be a lack of due-process claim or a failure to follow procedural rules.” While the NCAA’s investigation into Michigan is not expected to conclude before the end of this season, the Big Ten’s sportsmanship policy allows the conference to issue its own punishment against the Wolverines. Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti is authorized to issue suspensions of up to two games or fines up to $10,000, but any punishment beyond that would be subject to approval from the Big Ten’s Joint Group Executive Committee.
