Coaches around the Big Ten are putting pressure on conference commissioner Tony Petitti to punish Michigan in the wake of the investigation into the school for potential sign-stealing, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
On a 90-minute league-wide conference call on Wednesday, a “vast majority” of coaches in the Big Ten voiced their frustrations with the investigation. Harbaugh was present on the call for 60 of the 90 minutes, according to Thamel. The Michigan coach eventually left the call so that rival coaches in the league could discuss the ongoing investigation into the school.
Specifically, a source told Thamel, “Collectively, the coaches want the Big Ten to act right now. What are we waiting on? We know what happened?”
