Former Michigan defensive lineman Ondre Pipkins, who announced last week that he’d be transferring from the school for his senior season, took a shot at new head coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff Friday, claiming that they tried to force him to sign a medical scholarship to end his career with the Wolverines. ESPN’s Joe Schad detailed Pipkins’ accusations:
Pipkins said doctors initially told him he has some arthritis in the knee but that he should not be disqualified from competition. But as pressure continued from others within the program to sign the medical form, he was sent by Michigan back to his knee surgeon, who then recommended he rest his body for six months.
