As does trying to be clever by punishing the institution by not allowing their head coach to be present, rather than suspending Harbaugh directly.

Win the next three games then boycott/forfeit the B1G championship game. Will make the playoff anyways. Screw the conference.

Do Harbaugh and Hart know how to use Apple Watches?

Official Big 10 release says he is not to be present “at the game venue”.

Sources must have meant early afternoon Pacific time. Perhaps a nod to incoming members from the PAC 12.

Wild what is going on in Alberta right now. Calgary and Edmonton are 30 and 31 in 32 team NHL. They have 14 points combined, two fewer than the Wings. Edmonton is already 14 points behind 3rd place in their top-heavy division. Have to expect an Edmonton coach firing at anytime. Oilers’ Jack Campbell has been sent to the minors.

ESPN now posting columns about this whole thing being mostly harmless. That’s their pivot, yeah, Thamel and co’s faux outrage was just a prank.

It has been such a weird season. Non-conference games felt like preseason games, with the rest of the country kicking off while it seems Michigan was still resting. Then came four conference games that I thought would be a bit more competitive but were all cruises. Then two games with this sign controversy in the background. So 9 games in, tomorrow at noon will feel like the first time Michigan is facing a real football challenge this season.

I much prefer that the game between Michigan and OSU be essentially a college football playoff quarterfinal. Win you move on, lose you’re out. But if Florida St and Washington lose somewhere and I wouldn’t be shocked if they did, then Georgia and the Mich-OSU winner would be the only two locks and then you’d be left with a bunch of 1-loss teams. I could see OSU getting consideration if they’re one of those teams. Michigan, no.

Weird penalty by Reimer that led to the loss. Otherwise, except for a couple of odd goals he hasn’t been a weak link so far this season.

Big save by Reimer on the Suzuki breakaway, but a minute later Reimer gets penalized. In between, I thought sure DeBrincat would bury it.

Oh my, Josh Anderson of Habs had winning goal on his stick but whiffed. Off to overtime

Wings are asserting themselves now and seem the more likely to break the tie. 2-2 with 7 minutes to go.

Bedard with 2 goals 2 assists tonight vs Tampa, still a full period to go.

Rasmussen ties it against the run of play! Takes it at the boards and charges right to net. Oops, goal being challenged, hang on. Montreal announcers think it is coming back… Good goal!!

Wings rightly mad at how Seider’s stick got slashed out of hand on this goal. Whew, got waves off anyways for offsides. Still behind 1-0 though and need to get better

Keith Primeau’s son is in net for the Habs tonight. Cayden is 24, has 3 wins in 21 career starts.

The Wings still have a pretty nice record but are 2W 4L in past 6. If they are to compete for playoff spot they will need to win games like tonight - home against Montreal

This is such a bizarre take by Bielema. Says coaches around the league share sign information with each other all the time and he is totally cool with that, but if a team like Michigan sends people to watch a future opponent’s game, that is sickening. He seems to genuinely believe that, not saying so because he has an exe to grind with Harbaugh or is “scared” of Michigan. What I honestly don’t get is why. This is starting to remind me of “The Code” in baseball where some want you to follow silly unwritten rules about how to respond to brushbacks, how to wear your socks, when you can bat flips, whether you can bunt during no-hitters. Outrage is acceptable in certain instances, other times you are expected to suck it up. Don’t deviate!

I’m glad the Big 10 made its threat last weekend. It triggered the legal and p.r. pushback Michigan launched this week.

That’s why I don’t see anyone outside of Columbus and Happy Valley NOT wanting Michigan to beat Penn State. Undefeated Michigan hosting undefeated Ohio State in 2 weeks, give this backdrop and Michigan having reset the rivalry the past couple of years, would be the most anticipated regular season college football game I can think of. 2006 had #1 vs #2 plus Bo dying the day for, but I think this would top that.

Parody site. 400 followers. Lists Valley News Live as being based in North Dakota. The clown may still be right though!

Agree! Upon reading it, I wonder this: has anyone at the NCAA received and shared with Big 10 any videos, or proof of there being videos, supposedly taken by Stalion’s stable of spying scouts? Doesn’t sound like it.

Michigan’s 10-page letter to the Big Ten, in full.

Suzy Shuster is sick of this and "can't get over the way everyone is basically hanging Jim Harbaugh over this".
