Bet: Following Jim Harbaugh’s suspension, a number of Michigan football players go to social media.
Big Ten suspends Harbaugh for the last three games of the regular season
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Several Michigan football players took to social media after the Big Ten announced that Jim Harbaugh has been suspended for the team’s final three games of the regular season.
The suspension comes as the Wolverines are under investigation for advanced scouting that violates NCAA rules. So far, the operation has only been linked to now-former analyst Connor Stalions, but the conference issued the Harbaugh suspension as a way to punish the university for allowing the violations to take place.
Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti waited until the Wolverines were in midair on their way to Penn State to announce the suspension Friday afternoon. Michigan will battle No. 10 Penn State at noon Saturday in an attempt to stay alive in the College Football Playoff race.
It seems that the Michigan players were unaware of the punishment until they came across news on social media following the plane’s landing. Their message was brief and straightforward:
“Place a wager.”
Michigan will attempt to get Harbaugh back on the sidelines in time for kickoff by suing to overturn his ban in court.
