Michigan files for temporary restraining order to block Jim Harbaugh suspension

Michigan is taking legal action after the Big Ten suspended head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Harbaugh was suspended for the rest of the regular season amid the ongoing investigation into the team’s sign-stealing scandal. More details on the suspension can be found here.

The school on Friday filed a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in Washtenaw County Circuit Court. The legal motion seeks to prevent the implementation of Harbaugh’s suspension while the investigation is being conducted.

The Big Ten and its commissioner Tony Petitti are both listed as defendants. Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Board of Regents are the plaintiffs.
