Is this the year Jim Harbaugh finally returns to the NFL?

There has been talk of Jim Harbaugh getting suspended, but new reports indicate Michigan football will 'push back hard' against that proposal.

Petering out. Over the weekend, nothing much happened. We were already starting to get articles that contain no new NCAA-relevant information and don't stand up to even a cursory fact-check—see Friday's post on claims that TCU's brilliant scheme duped Michigan—and now, uh: Multiple sources from one Big Ten school told SI that a coach at a different school called them before playing Michigan to warn them about Wolverines ball boys on their sideline listening to play calls and c...

Things Discussed: Just me (Seth) today with Ira & Sam and we have Sam answer the HTTV (now available as a PDF) Roundtable questions. HTTV: the not a PDF? There's a paper shortage preventing us from printing as many as we need. I have enough to take care of all of the pre-orders. I don't have enough to put print copies on sale right now. I may in 3 weeks. I will have a Kindle Edition in a few weeks. In fact it'll be submitted to Kindle in a few days. NIL: Where's Michigan ...

Things Discussed: Shemy: They had two months to do a cursory vetting. Harbaugh was trying to do a thing for Bo. Problem in coach culture that they feel the need to find everybody a job. Problem in Michigan's athletic department that they don't have enough attention to detail. The lesson isn't just check what you say in public; check some of these ideas when they're on their way into your head.

Things discussed: The boys are back in town: Michigan recruiting Ohio. The Draft: A Jim Harbaugh tight end is getting drafted, don't care where he was ranked. Michigan's player development: look no further than DJ Turner (didn't mean to rhyme that). Herbert fixed a glute problem that plagued DJ into his 2nd year of college. MSU Exodus: It's a bad sign when your starters are transferring after practice. Why? They're seeing how bad they are: Nobody's a better scout th...

Things discussed: Recruiting is #1: Should Ohio State fans be freaking out? Well yeah, because Michigan has Ohio State's class. Why are centers underrated? High schools can't waste beasts at center, and Wonderlic scores don't come out in college recruiting. Jerod Smith: How that all went down. How committable were his Georgia and Alabama and Tennessee offers? Pretty committable. I'Marion Stewart is their #1 WR since the July camp. Marquise Lightfoot is turning into an elite, ...

Things discussed: Hockey: They stuck to the process. Portillo was magnificent vs Penn State. Also Colgate. Get a regional in Toledo? Craig reached out to some people. It could happen. Spring ball: Lots of guys out. Watching CB, watching the OL. You’re not going to see what they’ve come up with to use Donovan Edwards. Lots of young guys at different positions have an opportunity to play with so many injuries. Guys out: Nugent, Henderson, Colson, Corum, Hinton. Players are saying watch Ernest ...
