This afternoon, the Big Ten Conference suspended 9th-year Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh amid the sign-stealing allegations. The University of Michigan, its fans, and its leadership are furious with Tony Petitti right now, and rightfully so, as the decision came as Michigan was on its flight to Penn State for a game against the No. 10 Nittany Lions tomorrow afternoon. After the announcement, Michigan legends Tom Brady, Juwan Howard, and more all backed Harbaugh and the Wolverines.
