Michigan alum and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard believes the Big Ten is treating his alma mater unfairly amid the school’s sign-stealing scandal.
Howard strongly defended the Wolverines program following the report by ESPN’s Heather Dinich that the conference could punish Michigan and coach Jim Harbaugh as soon as Friday afternoon ahead of the NCAA’s investigation timeline.
“The [Big Ten] commissioner is actually treating them unfairly,” Howard told fellow ESPN analyst Greg McElroy on Friday morning’s episode of Get Up! “He’s circumventing due process by the NCAA. That’s why. You know, Greg, this would never happen in the SEC. Are you telling me they would do this to Nick Saban and Alabama? Hell no!”
