BREAKING: Jim Harbaugh negotiating four-game suspension to open 2023 season

In a stunning turn of events just days before the 2023 Big Ten Media Days at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh has officially been suspended the first four games of the 2023 season. The suspension stems from penalties relating to recruiting violations and false claims Harbaugh made to investigators earlier this offseason.

Michigan will open its season against East Carolina on Sept. 2, followed by non-conference games against UNLV and Bowling Green before beginning its Big Ten schedule at home against Rutgers on Sept. 23.

Additionally, according to the report from Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger, former defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald will receive a one-year show-cause penalty.

Offensive Coordinator Sherrone Moore and tight ends coach Grant Newsome are also expected to receive one-game suspensions.
