2023 Michigan Football

Sources must have meant early afternoon Pacific time.  Perhaps a nod to incoming members from the PAC 12.

Harbaugh suspended for the rest of the season according to ClickonDetroit.

ESPN is saying 'sideline ban'. Does that mean he can sit in the press box?

That might not even be worth appealing. Probably also not what they meant!

I was just thinking the same thing.  If the paperwork is worded so sloppily as to only ban him from the sidelines for games, he should absolutely be sitting up top and coaching from the booth. 

[lordstanley]

Official Big 10 release says he is not to be present “at the game venue”.

Do Harbaugh and Hart know how to use Apple Watches?

Waiting until 4:00pm on a Friday is........... interesting.

probably helps UM with a judge because it shows clear intent to frustrate due process and a judge won't like that.

Maybe he can serve this suspension concurrently with the upcoming NCAA suspension about burgergate.  

[lordstanley]

Win the next three games then boycott/forfeit the B1G championship game. Will make the playoff anyways. Screw the conference.

Waiting until after Michigan has departed and is literally in the air flying to Penn State is a **** move.

As does trying to be clever by punishing the institution by not allowing their head coach to be present, rather than suspending Harbaugh directly. 

[lordstanley]

Ha, I think it has broken Mgoblog, link through seems to be dead. That site used to go down regularly.

Also classy to publish a letter online with the Michigan AD's email address in the header.

That's not the same email that's in the signature. UMIDs have to be eight characters or less, all letters. Which makes life difficult for the John Smiths of the world.

"WardeManuelAD" probably re-directs to an administrative assistant, or another account shared by multiple individuals, to screen out all the nonsense emails that probably get sent his way. The one in the letter is his direct email, with his UMID.

You didn't read the letter where the SEC was one of the entities that cooperated and ratted on them. Hell, I'd bet that's where the PI was originally hired.

most E-Mail addresses at the U are in a public directory, though the AD's is not.

[MichiganCardinal]

This is some bizarre "evidence" they've got.

"The Conference also reviewed photos and videos from the public domain (and thus available to the University) that show the staff member dressed similarly to University coaches standing adjacent to and communicating with coaches during games in timeframes in which the impermissible scheme occurred. One photo was taken from the staff member’s since-deleted Instagram account showing him during the October 2, 2021 game at Wisconsin standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the University’s then-defensive coordinator. The photo shows the coordinator focused on the field and the staff member looking intently in the direction of the opposing sideline. There is also video of the staff member watching the opposing sideline during the November 26, 2022 game at Ohio State and then gesturing to the Michigan defense in reaction to the signals being provided to the opposing offense. The Conference also reviewed a video of the staff member during the December 31, 2022 game against TCU standing shoulder to shoulder with the University’s then-defensive coordinator and talking to him while intently watching what was happening on the field and/or on the TCU sideline."

So in the Wisconsin game.... a staff member.... in Michigan clothing..... is pictured on the sideline.... next to other coaches?

And the OSU video shows him standing on the sideline.... facing the other sideline (i.e., the field)...... and giving signals to others.....

And the TCU game... he was on the sideline again..... and he was talking to others...... while "intently" watching the game......

What???

Wouldn’t it just be easier to fire Harbaugh after the year and make up with the B1G.  He’s the pound of flesh they want so just give it to them and move on for the program sake.
