Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh was just another spectator Saturday afternoon, as he sat out the No. 3 Wolverines’ 24–15 win over No. 10 Penn State as the opening leg of his three-game suspension.
However, in the spirit of Air Bud, there is no rule in the Big Ten’s bylaws that says Harbaugh can’t attend Michigan hockey games. And so he did, appearing with his team at the Wolverines’ game against Minnesota Saturday evening.
Harbaugh was suspended by the conference Friday afternoon for the remainder of the regular season amid an ongoing NCAA investigation into allegations that Michigan deployed illegal in-game scouting to steal opponents’ signs.
