Although Michigan has been mired in a sign-stealing scandal for much of this football season, it hasn’t stopped Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh from being his authentic self.
Harbaugh missed his fifth game of the season as part of his sanctions from the NCAA and the Big Ten in regard to alleged recruiting violations and the sign-stealing investigation. Michigan (11–0, 8–0 Big Ten) will play host to Ohio State (11–0, 8–0) in The Game on Saturday with a chance to make a third consecutive appearance in the Big Ten championship game and keep its College Football Playoff national title hopes intact.
However, the scandal has loomed over the program in recent weeks, and some observers believe it will be a distraction to the Wolverines this weekend. When asked if he thought the NCAA probe and the subsequent media onslaught was distracting the team, Harbaugh responded in epic fashion.
