Brian Fowler Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Best part: the Big Ten statement literally says they have no evidence of Harbaugh having knowledge or engaging in wrong doing, and this isn't a sanction against him but that he represents the institution for purposes of the football team. (Unlike the new NCAA rule that holds head coaches accountable for things in the program, the Big Ten bylaws hold the Universities responsible.) Normally courts are very reluctant to interfere with governing bodies where the membership has agreed to the rules, but between that and the Big Ten bylaw that says the conference can enact sanctions "subsequent to the NCAA investigation" I really think Michigan might win in court.

Log Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I've lost track of some of the finer details with this Michigan stuff, but wasn't there evidence early on that this Stalions dude was rogue? Like, even to the point where he wanted to oust Harbaugh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, even to the point where he wanted to oust Harbaugh? He had a long term manifesto to eventually be the head coach at Michigan, but I don't think it involved a coup on Harbaugh. At any rate, there's apparently no evidence that Jim or the coordinators knew about the in-person scouting (which certainly doesn't mean they definitely didn't, but it's what you can prove yadda yadda yadda.)

Gordon Liddy being told he can intact Project Opal of Operation Gemstone by whoever the U of M equivalent of John Mitchell is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 For inflicting this idiotic nonsense on the world, everyone involved with Michigan, the Big Ten, the NCAA, and sports media should be fired. Into space. Fuck them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Whether they have the right to do it or not I'll leave to a judge, but its kinda scuzzy to wait until the day before the game, on a holiday, to announce he wouldn't be able to coach this weekend in an important game. No reason it couldn't have waited until next week so Michigan could have prepared for who would take over for Harbaugh as far as game sideline decisions go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 On the one hand, part of me wants to say fuck Harbaugh and fuck his team. The other part of me thinks if this were ND and Freeman then I would be pretty annoyed. But then again, ND is irrelevant as fuck so who cares anyway. I also think UM will prove to be irrelevant as well once they play an actual team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I'm pretty much onboard that sanctions will and should come. I'm not onboard with the Big Ten essentially changing the long held interpretation of their own bylaws in order to act before the NCAA investigation is finished, nor claiming they can suspend Harbaugh without evidence he knew or participated in the scheme, on the grounds of "we're punishing the university, not him, because he embodies the university in terms of football." I'm no lawyer, but that feels like the kind of legal double speak that gets chewed up in court. It's just such an ad hoc justification because the other members wanted Pettiti to do something, and he decided he was going to act* and then he was kinda committed before he really thought it through. I expect Michigan will have the Temporary Restraining Order by 10 am, but I could be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 *Also one Big Ten official told a reporter that Pettiti considers this the biggest scandal in Big Ten history. Despite Sandusky. Dr Nassar. Dr Anderson. Dr Strauss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Well looks like the courts had no time for college football shenanigans so Harbaugh can't coach today, court is set for next Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
