Michigan’s football team is currently undefeated and ranked third in the country. This team has been the most dominant in college football all season, but many people are skeptical of the Wolverines due to their difficult schedule. So far, Michigan’s best win has come at home against 6-3 Rutgers. The Wolverines have yet to be tested, but they will face a major test this weekend when they travel to play #10 Penn State football. This is one of the most important games on the Big Ten football schedule, and it should reveal a lot about Michigan’s team.
Michigan football is the slight favorite heading into this game, as the spread currently favors the Wolverines by four points. However, there is a chance that Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh will not be on the sidelines, which would have a significant impact on the game.
The NCAA is currently investigating Michigan football for alleged sign-stealing. In the last three weeks, the name Connor Stalions has become a household name in the college football world for his sign-stealing scheme, and he recently resigned from his position with the Wolverines amid the scandal.
NCAA investigations like this typically take a long time to complete, and it should have no bearing on Michigan’s season this year. However, the Big Ten can step in and issue a punishment, which could happen this week after a lot of pressure from Big Ten coaches on commissioner Tony Petitti.
According to ESPN, the Big Ten could impose discipline as early as Thursday, with the most likely outcome being an attempt to suspend Jim Harbaugh. Even if Petitti does try to suspend Harbaugh, the University of Michigan is confident that the ruling will be overturned so that Harbaugh can continue to coach and be on the sidelines.
The developments in this investigation over the last few weeks have been bizarre. This is one of the most important stories in sports right now, and it appears that it is only the beginning.
On Saturday, Michigan will face Penn State at noon ET on Fox, and it will be interesting to see if Harbaugh will be coaching the Wolverines.
