Michigan’s Harbaugh accepts Big 10’s 3-match suspension

Michigan and manager Jim Harbaugh have agreed to the Big Ten’s 3-match ban of the Wolverines boss, the program shared today, which means that Jim will not lead his team on Saturday at Maryland or in the regular-campaign finale vs. Ohio State.

According to the information, Big 10 agreed to end its probe, which means there won’t be a hearing in the morning as previously was announced.
