uh, Michigan and they came in and, uh, laid a three game suspension down on Jim Harbaugh.

So the head coach has got to sit three games.

And if you remember, it's the Penn state game, a Maryland game, and then at Ohio state.

So there's a big penalty.

You lost your head coach.

Michigan was going to file for a temporary injunction on that.

They ended up not, uh, and so Harbaugh ended up sitting, but that would kind of be your, uh,

you know your your your your your idea there your game plan if they want to do that but i don't know that this injunction would even allow that and i don't know whether the big twelve wants to get involved in selective uh... punishment like that it was a very dicey move by the big ten also because

Every school or almost every school has some incident coming where you once you open Pandora's box of, well, we're going to step in and do the right thing here.
