Big Ten Suspends Michigan's Jim Harbaugh for Sideline Infractions

The Big Ten has suspended Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh for the remainder of the regular season due to the school's violation of the conference's sportsmanship policy. The violation involved conducting an impermissible, in-person scouting operation over multiple years, compromising the integrity of competition. Harbaugh's suspension only applies to game days, allowing him to coach the team during the week. Michigan plans to seek a court order to prevent the disciplinary action from taking effect, expressing displeasure with the rushed process. The suspension comes amid an ongoing NCAA investigation into Michigan's alleged sign-stealing ring.
