Jim Harbaugh restraining order hearing scheduled for Friday; coach suspended vs. Penn State
View Date:2024-12-24 00:22:25
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. − For the fourth time in 10 games this season, Michigan will be without its head coach on the sideline.
Washtenaw County Circuit Court will hold a hearing Friday at 9 a.m. for the University of Michigan's request for a temporary restraining order against the Big Ten, for its decision to suspend head coach Jim Harbaugh for the remainder of the regular season, the school confirmed Saturday morning.
Harbaugh therefore will be barred from Beaver Stadium for Michigan football's game against Penn State at noon Saturday, a pivotal Big Ten matchup with huge College Football Playoff implications. Offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Sherrone Moore will be the interim head coach.
In a brief statement released by the school Saturday morning, it said it looked "forward to presenting our case next week where we intend to demonstrate that the Big Ten has not acted legally or fairly."
SCANDAL:Jim Harbaugh suspended by Big Ten as part of sign-stealing investigation
On Friday, Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti issued a letter to U-M athletic director Warde Manuel, explaining why the league was suspending Harbaugh for the program's role in the sign-stealing scandal ran by former U-M staffer Connor Stalions.
While the league admits it has not seen evidence to refute Harbaugh's claim he had no knowledge of the scheme deemed to be against NCAA rules, Petitti wrote Harbaugh is punished, in part, because he embodies the U-M football program.
The school responded to the suspension by seeking a court order. The case was first presided by Judge Timothy Connors but later sent to the desk of Judge Carol Kunhke.
The temporary restraining order would lift the suspension, which prohibited Harbaugh from being at any game venue on game day for the final three games of U-M's regular season. He could return for a potential Big Ten championship game Dec. 2 in Indianapolis.
