Internet Blasts Michigan President's Victimhood Claim Amid Cheating Scandal
The University of Michigan's President continues to support Coach Jim Harbaugh following their recent victory over Penn State.
In the wake of Harbaugh's suspension, the university's actions have made it seem as though Harbaugh suffered a tragic loss. This sentiment was apparent when an emotional Sherrone Moore dedicated the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines' 24-15 road win against the No. 10 Penn State Nittany Lions to the suspended head coach during a postgame interview.
Moore, in a heartfelt moment, expressed his gratitude to Harbaugh, even using strong language on live television.
The Big Ten announced on Friday that Harbaugh would be suspended for the remaining three games of the regular season due to an investigation into alleged off-campus scouting and signal-stealing controversies.
On Sunday, Michigan's President, Santa Ono, issued a statement reflecting on a turbulent week in Ann Arbor: "Countless members of the University of Michigan family have reached out to me over the weekend, and I want to express my appreciation. Like any community, we face our share of challenges and adversity. There have been many such moments in our history. But as our team demonstrated so clearly yesterday, we will confront any challenge with determination to improve and emerge stronger. Go Blue!"
Social media had varied reactions to this statement, with many pointing out that Jim Harbaugh is indeed still alive, and the suspension is a consequence of alleged cheating�a sentiment some believe is not entirely undeserved.
It's important to note that Jim Harbaugh remains in good health and financial standing, though he is temporarily absent from the sidelines. Despite this, Michigan maintains an undefeated record of 10-0, and the two-time Big Ten champion coach is still able to support his team and provide guidance during the week.
Michigan has taken legal action by filing a temporary restraining order to halt the Big Ten's punishment, and a hearing is scheduled for Friday.
Michigan is scheduled to play against Maryland on Saturday.
