Big Ten announces Jim Harbaugh barred from stadiums for next three games

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh will not be permitted to attend the final three games of Michigan’s regular season after the Big Ten found that Michigan violated the conference’s sportsmanship policy.

Harbaugh cannot attend Saturday’s game at No. 10 Penn State, the following game at Maryland or the season finale against No. 1 Ohio State. If Michigan wins those three games it will be in the Big Ten Championship Game, and Harbaugh will be allowed to coach in that game and in the postseason.

“Michigan has been found in violation of the Big Ten Sportsmanship Policy for conducting an impermissible, in-person scouting operation over multiple years, resulting in an unfair competitive advantage that compromised the integrity of competition,” the Big Ten said in a statement.
