Jim Harbaugh has been suspended by the Big Ten for the final three regular-season games of Michigan’s 2023 season. Harbaugh will be eligible to coach in the postseason, and he will still be allowed to coach the team during the week leading up to Saturdays.

The conference stated Michigan had been found in violation of the conference’s Sportsmanship Policy for conducting an” impermissible, in-person scouting operation over multiple years” that “resulted in an unfair competitive advantage that compromised the integrity of competition.”
