Harbaugh to serve out suspension, Big Ten ends Michigan sign-stealing investigation in settlement
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan announced Thursday that football coach Jim Harbaugh will serve the remainder of a three-game suspension from the Big Ten in return for the conference ending its investigation into a scheme to steal opponents’ play-calling signals. The university continues to cooperate fully with the NCAA’s investigation.” Harbaugh was suspended last Friday by the Big Ten, three weeks after an investigation by the NCAA into the allegations emerged. University leaders made the decision to settle the case because the Big Ten would not agree to reduce Harbaugh’s suspension to two games. Multiple Big Ten schools have records showing ticket purchases under Stalions’ name going back as much as three years and video surveillance footage of people in those seats with cell phones pointed toward the field.
