With other conference members clamoring for action against the Wolverines, Michigan’s president cautioned that moving now would violate Big Ten rules
The University of Michigan moved to ward off possible discipline by the Big Ten Conference against the Wolverines’ football program and head coach Jim Harbaugh in the wake of allegations that the team engaged in illegal sign-stealing.
In an email to the Big Ten late last week, Michigan president Santa Ono warned that taking action before conducting an investigation would violate conference rules. The move escalates the battle between Michigan, a national-title contender ranked No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings, and its opponents, who are clamoring for a quick punishment of alleged activities they say have given the Wolverines a competitive advantage.This copy is for your personal, non-commercial use only.
