Jim Harbaugh said Michigan’s 2017 team roster would be available Aug. 30. The Wolverines head coach delivered on that promise.
Early Wednesday morning, Harbaugh released a tweet which contained Michigan’s updated roster, a bit of information media types have been begging to see over the last few weeks.

Harbaugh and Michigan’s athletic department were under scrutiny for not releasing the 2017 roster until Wednesday. They were the only B1G team to wait this long.
A Freedom of Information Act request was also submitted for NJ.com in an attempt to gain access to the roster. But just like everyone else, NJ.com had to wait until Aug. 30.
No that the roster has been released, maybe the talk of Harbaugh’s antics will quiet down until the Wolverines meet Florida at AT&T Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
