Yeah this is weird.  Not getting what sort of precedent is being set, this is the second time Harbaugh has been reprimanded for remarks made after a game.  I don't see any other coaches under that level of scrutiny.  Even more interesting, he was essentially stating the same findings as the league. 

With hindsight and uninformed speculation, since an announcement was made Saturday that the ADs were getting involved, wondering if JH could have avoided the reprimand by telling reporters the ADs were handling.  This assumes that he is reprimanded more for the Monday comments, than what he said on Saturday.   And I'm not sure of that, after the OSU crap.

The language of both reprimands perhaps speaks for itself.  MSU = entire team reprimanded, school fined.  Michigan = one player reprimanded.  Dantonio reprimanded for not preventing the situation (which is a polite way of saying he caused it) and Harbaugh reprimanded again for.. remarks at presser.

Mork wanted to intimidate the team before the game, I'd guess it was just the opposite.  Mork might've done the defense and team a big favor getting them fired up for the game and hopefully remainder of the season.

Pride comes before the backfire!
