Big Ten coaches have been pushing commissioner Tony Petitti to come down hard on Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh for his program’s alleged sign-stealing operation—as one coach told ESPN: “What are we waiting on? We know what happened.” This raises the question: If the NCAA enforcement staff is still gathering information, how do other coaches know what happened?
Coaches have good reasons to be concerned and suspicious. But a conference commissioner should not suspend somebody before an investigation is finished because other coaches are mad. Anybody with a basic sense of fairness should understand that.
