Michigan rolled over and played Dead: Jim is out for the rest of the season
Per Scott Bell on twitter
The Michigan-B1G investigation is over. Jim Harbaugh will not be on the sidelines for the next two games, and then will be eligible to return. pic.twitter.com/QtqXwf0IQm

Show your work.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
... Just checking: So your take is that Harbaugh should be suspended for allowing his recruiting staff to hire a low level guy, and ex-Marine, who, without his or anyone else in the program's knowledge, used his own money to take video of Michigan opponents, which may or may not be in violation of an NCAA bylaw aiming to save football program's money? Harbaugh's error was not being able to see into the future and prevent his underlings from hiring a guy who would eventually, secretly, seem to violate an NCAA reg? Do I have that right?
November 16th, 2023 at 8:07 PM ^
Lol. It's really hard for you guys to understand that what we are asking for is simple due process and the presumption of innocence. You guys would be squealing like a stuck pig if this happened to Day.

This sets up my best case scenario where Sherrone runs the ball 70 straight times at OSU and we blow them out with an interim coach.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:35 PM ^
Thinking the same thing. We already know Harbaugh can beat their ass.
If we beat OSU with Sherrone...
#1 - he's a lock to replace Harbaugh
#2 - the beatings of OSU continue
#3 - OSU looks like the biggest bitches on the face of this planet
November 16th, 2023 at 5:03 PM ^
Basing a decision on who should replace Harbaugh on winning a couple of games with the power house team Harbaugh built wouldn’t be the wisest idea.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:58 PM ^
Moore helped build this team, has the trust of these players, and has the trust of Harbaugh.
He’s been assumed to be the heir apparent for some time. Winning the next two games just makes everything feel more warm and cozy.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:30 PM ^
If that occurs, Day will get fired during the post game presser
November 16th, 2023 at 3:27 PM ^
Yeah, any time we think Michigan is going to go scorched earth or fight or basically.. win.. please refer back to this post.
I think this is a big deal next weekend with osu. He has a mental edge on those idiots and they will feel empowered to come take it.
Who will tell Sherrone Moore that we need to pass? Who makes the calls on FG or 4th and 2?
Harbaugh has been successful for a reason.
Why doesn't this garbage happen to us when we're 7-4.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:33 PM ^
If we were 7-4, nobody would care. That's why it doesn't get brought up. It only came to light because Michigan has been successful.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
by that rule, then osu, bama, georgia, wash, fsu and others would be in the muck. but theyre not. we are. osu, bama, georgia are at the top every year. i havent heard a peep about any of them in forever, even when shit goes sideways.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:11 PM ^
If we were 7-4, OSU would not bother to hire a PI firm.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:32 PM ^
Michigan was going to go “scorched earth” just like Michigan was going to fire the “Money Cannon” with NIL. It’s all buzzwords that people keep falling for
November 16th, 2023 at 8:11 PM ^
Michigan did fore the money cannon with NIL. That's why we had players coming back. We don't violate the NCAA rules by offering NIL cash to recruits like OSU, but NIL serves its purpose here.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:27 PM ^
So is Clinkscale involved and that’s why we rolled? What the f@$k is going on? A week ago we are going to the lawyers and bringing war upon their heads and then…..nope we’ll just take it on the chin? Smells funny
November 16th, 2023 at 3:30 PM ^
His twitter has supposedly been taken down...so is something up??
November 16th, 2023 at 3:33 PM ^
Maybe Clinkscale doesn’t want to use a product associated with Elon Musk. Elon’s getting some awfully bad press this week. The difference between him and our program is that he deserves it.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
Yeah could be…lots of talk of him doing that from time to time as well…just confused as to the about face here
November 16th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
No one should use that cesspool..but there are other posters saying new evidence has come out involving other staffer (s)
November 16th, 2023 at 5:06 PM ^
Under Mgoblog rules, posting this is ok. Disagreeing with it, however, would be politics and is not allowed.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:38 PM ^
Who knows. In all honesty, this is probably a distraction to the team. A TRO is temporary which means more litigation and hearings and a full hearing has to then be heard after the OSU game most likely if it were granted. And if it is then ruled in favor of the B1G, then Harbaugh is probably suspended for the B1G champ game and/or playoffs. Already won the PSU game, could be strategic, get it over now and if you come out the other side, you're in a better place.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:29 PM ^
6 games for doing what all other programs are allowed to do.
sad day
November 16th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
I wish we were doing what all other programs were doing. It is 6 games for pretending we have a competetive advantage when really we are probably working with a disadvantage when taking into account how other teams use NIL.
November 16th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
Considering the alternative, this is an okay outcome.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:29 PM ^
Sigh....I'm surprised by this but I will at least wait for the explanation. I hope to God coach was consulted and signed off on this. That being said, I can't imagine a universe where coach would sign off on this idea. Never a dull day!
November 16th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
Ha, I hope you have other productive things to do while you wait forever. The only "explanation" you will be getting is speculative bullshit from people that don't know anything.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:29 PM ^
Why did we agree to this? What am I missing here?
November 16th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
At the very least I would hope IF the NCAA finds infractions, this should suffice as punishment and the whole matter is over (once their investigation ends in like a year or 2). Otherwise, I have no idea why they would agree to this unless they got wind that the TRO was not going to be granted.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
There are two things I can figure:
- The Big Ten was preparing the "additional penalties" they had threatened in their announcement last Friday, and this was a means to avoid additional penalties.
- The Big Ten presented Michigan with more evidence of further wrongdoing/larger scope, and both parties agreed to this as a sufficient penalty
But these are just ruminations on my part.

All these insiders that talked about "scorched earth" and "war" have zero credibility anymore. What a pathetic ending to this entire thing.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:41 PM ^
I think the rhetoric from the University was real, but it was all just talk. The "insiders" for us are no different from Thamel, they just pass along the party line
November 16th, 2023 at 3:52 PM ^
Just unfollowed pretty much all of them
November 16th, 2023 at 3:55 PM ^
The insiders will have to eat this forever. They can never be trusted again. This isn’t guessing on a recruit. They fed us a line of bs for clicks and scripts and everyone should put them out of business
wheres Bo Harbaugh by the way? Scorched earth. Bet. What a joke
November 16th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
Word is new evidence was uncovered about more staff involvement than Michigan previously knew.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
Word from where.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
From FlaWolverine22.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
On3. This was expected since this morning. There's still no evidence of Harbaugh involvement. However, we may lose another staff member.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
you really need a link or sourcing to make such a claim
November 16th, 2023 at 4:02 PM ^
Balas. Michigan and the Big Ten were negotiating a settlement for Harbaugh to miss the Maryland game and return for the Ohio State game. The NCAA just completed player interviews and have corroborated info they had already believed to be true. The Big Ten is receiving evidence from the NCAA. The settlement was taken off of the table and the new compromise was the original three game suspension and the closing of the investigation. The player interviews confirmed another staff member was involved. And there is a confirmed whistleblower. Although, he won't tell the names of either. Reading his responses to questions asked by others it's safe to say the staff member is not Minter. He also said Clinkscale deleting his twitter has nothing to do with this. So one could assume it's not Clinkscale either. The good news is, no one wants to punish the players over this and wins will not be vacated nor will there be a postseason ban.
It really sucks that I'm getting attacked for trying to share the explanation behind all of this.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:11 PM ^
Unfortunately you're being "attacked" because you gave information without backing it up. If you backed it up like you just did, you wouldn't have been negged.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
Word Manuel.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:33 PM ^
Clink...his twitter is gone
November 16th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
Well we'll probably know soon because if coaches were involved I imagine they would/will be suspended.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:44 PM ^
No because the B1G has already fully punished the institution (remember this is supposedly not a penalty on Jim). So it's an institutional punishment and that should be it (unless there is new evidence, which of course the B1G could fabricate/claim at any time).
November 16th, 2023 at 3:48 PM ^
No I mean I think UM would suspend a staffer if they had involvement at this point
November 16th, 2023 at 3:38 PM ^
what? the same staff involvement of other programs sharing Michigan's signs with each other?
still BS to me
November 16th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
This is a massive hit for The Game. I am not sure Sherrone has the right run/pass playcalling mix. I highly doubt we can run 36 times in a row against OSU and find success.
November 16th, 2023 at 3:37 PM ^
Did you see the 2021 OSU game?
