Big Ten suspends Jim Harbaugh 3 games for Michigan's alleged sign-stealing scheme

Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti has suspended Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh for three games — or the rest of the Wolverines' regular season — citing the league’s “sportsmanship” provision. The suspension only applies to game days, so Harbaugh will be able to coach the team during the week.

The punishment is in response to Michigan staff member Connor Stalions allegedly running an in-person scouting operation where he sent friends to games to video record the sideline play signals of future Michigan opponents.

The decision comes just hours before No. 2 Michigan is set to play at No.
