It seems like things are about to get worse for Michigan.
Over the weekend, head coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended for the remainder of the season amid the Big Ten’s investigation into the team’s sign-stealing scandal involving a low-level staffer.
Harbaugh has since accepted the Big Ten’s suspension and will not fight it, but there could be more bad news coming.
ESPN’s Heather Dinich is reporting that the Big Ten has “mounting evidence” against Michigan in the sign-stealing scandal
“This story is far from over,” Dinich said. “My understanding is that there’s mounting evidence against Michigan, and the Big Ten all along had evidence in regards to Michigan breaking the rule. I will stand by the fact that the Big Ten and Michigan continue to say there is not evidence that Harbaugh specifically knew about this or orchestrated it or condoned any of it.
“The question is, did other members of the staff know, what are the other implications, our reporters are continuing to work this developing story, to find out what the evidence was.”
On Friday morning, Michigan fired linebackers coach Chris Partridge due to his lack of cooperation with the NCAA investigation.
It’s currently unclear what the “mounting evidence” against Michigan could be, but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough.
