Hearing confirmed for next week; University issues statement
November 11th, 2023 at 11:03 AM ^
Need to summarize, Frank.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:04 AM ^
It's quite possibly the shortest article ever on this situation. Don't be lazy.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:32 AM ^
"Michigan could not get a TRO granted this morning. Instead, a hearing has been scheduled for Friday, November 17. Both sides will be present to argue. Jim Harbaugh will not coach against Penn State. Sherrone Moore will serve as the acting head coach.
Michigan issued a statement;
“We look forward to presenting our case next week where we intend to demonstrate that the Big Ten has not acted legally or fairly.”
Michigan plays Penn State at noon today. Michigan will play Maryland Saturday, November 18. No game time has been announced."
November 11th, 2023 at 11:35 AM ^
Given how things are going, they will probably move the game to Thursday.

Damn. Thanks for the news.
Go Blue!
November 11th, 2023 at 11:04 AM ^
I hope Harbaugh does the post-game presser today
November 11th, 2023 at 11:05 AM ^
He starts it, but immediately sees Coach Moore and says "THIS GUY! You want to talk to this guy right here!" and jogs away after giving Moore a hug.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:14 AM ^
Harbaugh's one solace in this is an excuse not to have to talk to the media.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:25 AM ^
*glass breaks, Stone Cold Steve Austin theme plays*
BAH GAW! Is that….Harbaugh?!?
November 11th, 2023 at 11:30 AM ^
I actually pictured this or the Mr. McMahon strut right after the coin flip🤣
November 11th, 2023 at 11:32 AM ^
Bring Rick Flair to do post game.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:05 AM ^
Fuck them. Just win, baby. Bet!
November 11th, 2023 at 11:05 AM ^
So, using the 14 day time limit previously discussed, is there possibly a strategy to make sure he's available for The Game? I personally would rather he miss today vs two weeks from today
November 11th, 2023 at 11:09 AM ^
It's a preliminary injunction at this point, so the 14 days doesn't apply at all. It would be effective until the judge rules otherwise.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:10 AM ^
I think Michigan anticipated winning this and having Harbaugh on the sideline today
November 11th, 2023 at 11:12 AM ^
It seems possible. It would have thought they could have gotten the TRO already if they really wanted it.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:27 AM ^
Another thing to remember about this is that the NCAA is fast tracking it’s investigation. The only conceivable reason for doing that is they want to hammer Michigan before the season is over. An NCAA-imposed penalty would likely render moot Michigan’s objections to what the Big 10 is doing.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:34 AM ^
Michigan stills 90 days to respond before any ncaa punishment can be in acted i believe
November 11th, 2023 at 11:51 AM ^
correct, the original article on this makes clear that NCAA expediting this means it should be resolved before next season.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:39 AM ^
Michigan would still have 90 days to respond, per rules, though, right?
November 11th, 2023 at 11:50 AM ^
They can fast track all they want. UM gets 90 days. Then UM can sue and get to discovery. And air out all the dirty laundry. They are not going to find shit about UM more than what is already out there. UM is going to find more and trash everyone. Watch.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:06 AM ^
“We look forward to presenting our case next week where we intend to demonstrate that the Big Ten has not acted legally or fairly.” More exhibits than the 50 biggest zoos in the country combined (obviously not including the Big Ten Advisory Commission).
November 11th, 2023 at 11:10 AM ^
The advisory committee is utter BS. People complained about the original judge, but look at the committee and what THEY personally gain from the decision
November 11th, 2023 at 11:09 AM ^
What's the point of an "emergency injunction" if you need a hearing a week later?
November 11th, 2023 at 11:14 AM ^
Right to me this is essentially a denial at least for today.
Its like taking someone to the ER because they can't breathe and instead of treating the patient you make them wait in the waiting rm until nest Friday.
Thanks Judge
November 11th, 2023 at 11:19 AM ^
Yes, it’s an L on the TRO. I only hope the judge denied it for reasons other than being unimpressed with the merits of M’s case (because that’s a tougher hill to climb in the PI hearing).
November 11th, 2023 at 11:25 AM ^
Well if she didn't think there is merit, I guess she is supporting unfairness. Even judges make dumb decisions even the ones who went to UM.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
Is that how it went down?
The Judge is making the call for a hearing?
we were waiting all night for a TRO to be issued only for this to happen?
November 11th, 2023 at 11:52 AM ^
This is de facto a no on the TRO which almost certainly means there is no injunctive relief on the way
November 11th, 2023 at 11:31 AM ^
Welcome to the justice system. Where kicking the can down the road is the practice of choice
November 11th, 2023 at 11:09 AM ^
No hearing until Friday? So this remains up in the air all week of practice. At least he is allowed to coach during the week, but that's still frustrating.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:21 AM ^
No doubt but this sucks to high heaven.
The next hearing will start at 9:30 AM. Since we don't know the kickoff time for the Maryland game at this time, Jim will be on the plane but the question is if he'll be able to coach on the sideline.
It all means the drama has not ended. Meanwhile, the knives and pitchforks against Jim and football program will continue in the national media.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:11 AM ^
If Michigan has anything real on other teams, they have to show it before the hearing, right? Force the B1G to take action against other teams or show that they are biased in handing out punishment.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:15 AM ^
Get real, we don’t have anything on other teams, and we likely never did.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
The documents of our signals that were given to Purdue were certainly something.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:21 AM ^
Did you see where I said "If", in italics even?
I don't know if we do, but if we do it needs to be released publicly and quickly.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:24 AM ^
I’ve seen it. If you were paying attention, you’ve seen it too. I’m referring to our plays and signs that were supposedly given to Purdue before the BTCG. It’s incumbent upon Michigan to prove that is real. If we can do that, that’s the nuclear option. The conference is blown to smithereens.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:18 AM ^
Not only show it in court, but release it publicly and demand suspensions of any head coach, regardless of probable knowledge, based on the “head of program” standard that Peititi’s invented (the real absurdity of this ruling is that it opens Pandora’s box for any entity to release dirt and then call for head coaching suspensions).
November 11th, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
My guess is that if they do, the Big Ten would slow roll it, instead of what they're doing to us. This punishment is for more than just "sign stealing." This is the Big Ten saying to us, "Don't fuck with us."
November 11th, 2023 at 11:52 AM ^
Most likely Yes. There is reconciliation here. UM just have to leave.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:11 AM ^
If the TRO is granted next week, the Regents should pass a resolution of no confidence in Petiti and instruct Ono to call for a meeting of the presidents counsel, where he’s empowered to deliver the message that they need to make a choice between him or us.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:15 AM ^
At this rate they'll probably reschedule
November 11th, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
At this point it’s not happening.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:12 AM ^
I’m so pissed off about this right now
November 11th, 2023 at 11:13 AM ^
Another friday decision, super fair process here!
