There is a big game on Saturday between No. 3 Michigan and No. 10 Penn State on Saturday, but all the talk today is the B1G announcing the suspension of Jim Harbaugh.
As of this minute, Harbaugh will not be allowed to be on the sidelines for any of the Wolverines’s last three regular season games. That includes the road game at Penn State, at Maryland and then the Ohio State game in the regular season finale.
After the suspension was announced, Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy had a simple, but strong message on twitter.

This isn’t the first game that Michigan will have to play without Harbaugh, as he has was suspended to start the year. He was suspended for the first 3 games of the year against East Carolina, UNLV and Bowling Green.
Right now, the suspension only falls on game days, and Harbaugh is allowed to coach the team throughout the week. There is no word on who will fill in for Harbaugh on Saturday, but the school has also come out and said that it will seek a court order to fight the B1G decision.
Kickoff is scheduled between Michigan and Penn State on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET, and the game will be aired on Fox.
