On the field, Michigan has a blueprint for how to handle games without Jim Harbaugh. Off the field, the school had been working on a counterstrike to this expected punishment.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Shortly after 4 p.m. ET on Friday, dozens of bodies clad in maize and blue spilled from an oversized Delta plane at the State College Regional Airport, a place where most commercial flights hold 50 passengers or fewer. But this was the charter flight that transported the undefeated and embattled Michigan Wolverines college football team to Pennsylvania for Saturday's showdown with No. 10 Penn State .
For the better part of two weeks, if not longer, the steady trickle of news stories from ESPN, The Athletic and Yahoo alluded to the possibility of a suspension for Harbaugh, whose program is also the subject of separate, ongoing NCAA investigations into the alleged sign-stealing operation and recruiting violations dating back to the pandemic.
