Michigan's sudden change in how it was approaching the Big Ten's ongoing suspension of football coach Jim Harbaugh in the past several days coincided with two new significant developments in the NCAA's ongoing investigation into the Wolverines' alleged cheating scheme, according to sources familiar with the situation.
Harbaugh and the university were preparing during the first half of the week to challenge the Big Ten's right to suspend the coach via a restraining order and civil lawsuit filed in state court. On Thursday, the school's lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice -- meaning it cannot be re-introduced in the future.
