Dinich - Decision still planned for today
Don't like that legality part...

Also known as "No new information to report".
Thanks Heather *eye roll*
November 10th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
You forgot "... but I'm gonna throw something full of big words out there to make it sound like I have the inside scoop and I can get more clicky thingies"
November 10th, 2023 at 3:19 PM ^
Feels like they’re going to blink. Can’t suspend this close to the next game.
I could easily be wrong.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
I mean right - how could you and not be asses of the century?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:38 PM ^
What would Brian Boitano do?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:19 PM ^
For those of you who don’t have watches, there’s less than 24 hours between now and the game. I’m not sure how to make it out like a suspension for a game that takes place in less than a day is equitable.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:19 PM ^
If they try to suspend him for tomorrow, I vote for Harbaugh going Leo from Wolf of Wall Street and telling them that he isn’t going anywhere.
Not like the police are going to intervene to remove him from the sidelines to follow some stupid Big Ten ruling.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
What is that bimbo going to post next?
10:55pm - Dinich - Decision is still planned for today.
What a joke.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
Don't resort to misogyny, Uncle Goober.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:26 PM ^
Sorry. Would "BITCH" have been a better word choice?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:29 PM ^
Only as a self-descriptor.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:46 PM ^
If you were talking about yourself
November 10th, 2023 at 3:32 PM ^
Hey, Seinfeld taught me that men can be bimbos, too!
November 10th, 2023 at 3:28 PM ^
Wow. Tell us that you have a complicated relationship with your mom without telling us that you have a complicated relationship with your mom.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
If they did anything substantial at this point, where it is VERY difficult to get an injunction, that will GREATLY strengthen the irreparable harm point.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
It's hard to pick, but honestly my favorite part of this entire debacle is how it has pushed rival fans to defend the position that the NCAA and the Big Ten are both very reasonable and respectable organizations who are worthy arbiters of fair play and just punishment.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
Yes, until they find their favorite team in the crosshairs
November 10th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
I think we all know the truer statement would be "it’s taking longer than expected because of the psychology of the process."
November 10th, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
"legality involved in the process" sounds like something a third grader would say.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:22 PM ^
Just have Jim coach the game regardless. Who even cares about listening to this clown?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:28 PM ^
I've come to the point where I don't care. Go ahead and suspend him for 2 games. Watch the team rally around coach Moore and win anyway. Then what would the haters have to say?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:34 PM ^
i think you mean "comedian/masturbator"
November 10th, 2023 at 3:24 PM ^
Michigan is ready for litigation. Could care less about the BIG at this point.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
Big Ten 's action today should be announcing Pettiti has resigned, interim commissioner is whoever, and no investigation will commence until the NCAA report is submitted.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
You can't let the head coach of a football team board the team plane less than 24 hours before kickoff only to tell him he's suspended for said game because you were twiddling your fingers the last 2 days.
I've even seen a few Buckeye dufus's on Twitter saying that would be fucked up.
If that happens then all hell might break loose.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:27 PM ^
If that happens, I think Michigan goes nuclear. Anything benefit of the doubt or sense of loyalty Michigan has to the conference will definitely be gone. I think they would try to sink the whole thing if the B1G decides to be a petty like that.
Personally, I would do the same. Burn it all down and salt the earth.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
In a very weird way, I almost hope that happens. Then Michigan can sue the shit out of that corrupt conference, release all the dirt they have on the other teams, hire their own PI firms on permanent retainers to never let up, and get on over to the ACC.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
So they're either planning to suspend him and asking their lawyers if they think they can get away with it or he's stalling for time because he doesn't want to do anything and is scared to hand out a punishment.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
LMAO at "...because of the legality involved in the process and documents." Just amateur hour from the Big Ten. How do you not have already everything ready to roll?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
So, according to this intel, at the last hour of the day on the night before our biggest game of the season. A road game in Happy Valley, during an undefeated season, with a Heisman candidate QB, two games before win 1000, and a RB closing in on a school TD record . . . the Commissioner of the Big Ten is vaguely delaying his rush to judgement announcement of some yet to be determined severe/not sever punishment for SIGN STEALING!
If true, his guy is so fucking ludicrous. If false, he is still fucking ludicrous for literally having the world's worst PR.
How on Earth is he not fired yet?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:26 PM ^
i'm literally about to head out to the mall once work ends in 5 minutes. i hope they don't come to a decision when i'm on the road
November 10th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
The mall? Do you dive a DeLorean?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:26 PM ^
Her sentence doesn't actually make any sense. I assume they would have to issue some sort of written decision setting forth the facts and procedure given that's what the Michigan letters emphasized, and doing that in 24 Hours seems a stretch to me. How are they going to document facts they cannot prove? And doing something right before a big game seems truly bizarre since there is no real hurry. This is a very puzzling process to me.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:26 PM ^
Mgolawyers - If there's an attempt to suspend Harbaugh, and an injunction is filed, does the Big Ten have an opportunity to provide a counter argument at all? It's the only way I see this tweet making sense.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:41 PM ^
Michigan would move for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and a preliminary injunction. A court can issue a TRO "ex parte," which means "without hearing from both sides." It's common for parties to file a complaint and, simultaneously, move for an immediate TRO, solely on the basis of the allegations in the complaint and any documents or other evidence filed along with the complaint. A court can make a decision on the TRO solely on the basis of the plaintiff's filing, or it can ask for a response from the defendant. When the TRO seeks to stop something that is just about to happen or has just happened, courts usually make the decision ex parte; in less urgent situations, there's a greater chance that the court will want to hear something from both sides. If a TRO is granted, it's usually only effective for a brief time. Ten days is the standard period, but a court could set it for less. Regardless of whether the TRO is granted or denied, the preliminary injunction request is usually heard promptly, with a week or two, and both sides can present briefing and evidence.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:27 PM ^
Punting is a decision.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:27 PM ^
And again, just like her previous update, there is a lot of wiggle room in "decision?" Decision to suspend? Decision to fine? Decision to wait for more information or NCAA investigation?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:28 PM ^
because of the legality involved in the process and documents
This wording sounds like it's right from the B1G office's mouth to try to make it sound like they took significant time to review Michigan's response
November 10th, 2023 at 3:33 PM ^
It's a nonsensical combination of words/phrases. I think it's right to assume she's just repeating what someone told her, but is that person an infant?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:29 PM ^
Suspended for what? When did the investigation happen? When was Michigan informed of the findings? How much time were they given to respond?
November 10th, 2023 at 3:29 PM ^
B1G just declared themselves irrelevant and worthy of nothing but scorn.
It sickens me to know that the athletes put it all out on the field while they are 'represented' by mealy-mouthed hypocritical cowards.
Yeah, make ESPN your mouthpiece you own it.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:30 PM ^
Dinich is ass and she has been like 0 for 8 on this stuff the past few weeks.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
As the late, great Tom Petty once said; “The waiting is the hardest part”
November 10th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
Fuck around and find out
November 10th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
Pretty curious if there's any deadline after which Michigan would just ignore a suspension before the PSU game
I also assume they have 3 different judges teed up to approve a TRO if needed
November 10th, 2023 at 3:32 PM ^
Thamel: Sources: The Big Ten is expected discipline Michigan for the in the in-person scouting and ongoing sign stealing investigation and will prohibit Jim Harbaugh from being on the sideline until the conclusion of the regular season. He will be allowed to coach during the week.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:38 PM ^
I believe Thamel this time. I hope we're ready to take action.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
Wooooooooow.... are they going to try and thread the needle of "this is not a suspension"?
I won't call it the end of the conference, but it's seriously injured if this is true. OSU, PSU, USC and Oregon will sustain them... but Michigan is probably 25-30% of the revenue that the five of us would collectively bring in, and I we should at the very least shop that around.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:32 PM ^
That's a word salad if I've ever seen one.
November 10th, 2023 at 3:33 PM ^
B.S. It’s taking longer b/c B10 is waiting for the Courts to close up to make the inevitable TRO more challenging. Don’t be shocked if this comes down first thing tomorrow, or in the middle of the night.
