SADLY: Coach from Michigan Banished From Three Games Due To …
PA: STATE COLLEGE (AP) — In an unprecedented fight with college football’s most successful programme for a sign-stealing plan that has shaken the sport, the Big Ten Conference on Friday suspended Jim Harbaugh from coaching Michigan’s last three regular-season games.
Shortly thereafter, the university made good on its vow to fight back in court, seeking a Michigan judge to issue a temporary restraining order that would let Harbaugh lead the Wolverines in their biggest game of the season.

(AP) — In an unprecedented fight with college football’s most successful programme for a sign-stealing plan that has shaken the sport, the Big Ten Conference on Friday suspended Jim Harbaugh from coaching Michigan’s last three regular-season games.
Shortly thereafter, the university made good on its vow to fight back in court, seeking a Michigan judge to issue a temporary restraining order that would let Harbaugh lead the Wolverines in their biggest game of the season.
The discipline was announced less than 24 hours before kickoff at No. 9 Penn State. The second-ranked Wolverines (9-0) have a shot to win a third straight Big Ten title and the school’s first national championship since 1997.
Michigan’s team plane landed in Pennsylvania shortly before the announcement. It issued a statement ridiculing the decision.
“Like all members of the Big Ten Conference, we are entitled to a fair, deliberate and thoughtful process to determine the full set of facts before a judgment is rendered,” Michigan President Santa Ono said in a statement. “Today’s action by Commissioner Tony Petitti disregards the conference’s own handbook, violates basic tenets of due process, and sets an untenable precedent of assessing penalties before an investigation has been completed.”
Harbaugh has denied any knowledge of an improper scouting scheme in his program. Michigan warned earlier this week that it was prepared to take possible legal action if the conference punished the program before a full investigation; the NCAA and the Big Ten are both looking into the claims.
