Jim Harbaugh says Sherrone Moore will lead No. 2 Michigan if a judge doesn’t rule in school’s favor
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “I’m just looking for that opportunity, due process,” Harbaugh said at his weekly news conference. I’m just looking for the merit for what the case is.” The Big Ten’s case against the Harbaugh-led Wolverines is that they violated the conference’s sportsmanship policy by conducting “an impermissible, in-person scouting operation over multiple years” that resulted in “an unfair competitive advantage that compromised the integrity of competition.” Harbaugh said that when the Big Ten handed down its discipline, suspending him for the final three games of the regular season, he was informed via social media, which he saw on someone else’s phone during a flight Friday to Penn State. Harbaugh said if the hearing does not go in the school’s favor, offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore will lead the way for a second straight game at Maryland on Saturday, when the heavily favored team will be a win away from becoming the first college football program to reach 1,000 victories. “I was like 5 inches from the TV,” said Harbaugh, whose punishment included being banned from Penn State’s stadium.
