The Big Ten announced on Friday that Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh has been suspended for the final three games of the 2023 season amid an investigation of alleged sign-stealing.
- In a statement, the conference said, 'The University of Michigan has been found in violation of the Big Ten Sportsmanship Policy for conducting an impermissible, in-person scouting operation over multiple years, resulting in an unfair competitive advantage that compromised the integrity of competition.'The conference said Harbaugh is not allowed to be present on the sidelines on the day of the games but can still attend practices or other football team activities.
In the midst of the investigation, Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions resigned after he was suspended.Multiple Big Ten schools found records of tickets purchased in Stalions' name to their games and surveillance video of the people sitting in those seats pointing cell phones toward the field.Additionally, photos circulating on the internet suggest Stalions was on the Central Michigan sideline during the Sept. 1 game against Michigan State, wearing CMU gear and sunglasses.
