While we steadfast in that there's no new evidence (that's real) in terms of the Connor Stalions operation, the University of Michigan decided to stop fighting back, pulling back the litigation, accepting the Jim Harbaugh suspension, and cutting a deal with the Big Ten. Given what we know, it makes little to no sense, and many of our colleagues (and sources) are flabbergasted by it. We try to make sense of it all and where Michigan football goes from here with Harbaugh out for the next two weeks...

The Associated Press reported that Michigan football did not reimburse Connor Stalions for any expenses accrued at any point in time. So how did Stalions pay for his operation? We've got the full scoop here. Then, Jim Harbaugh called Michigan football 'America's team.' While haters did not like that, why it's not so far off if you're comparing to another with that moniker. And what do you do if you're a Michigan fan who is trying to get through to the people who screech, 'Cheaters!' We've got an...

The war between Michigan football and the Big Ten is on. Commissioner Tony Petitti did the most malevolent thing he could have done by suspending Jim Harbaugh while Harbaugh was literally flying to Penn State.

It appears (at this moment) that the Big Ten will be pressing forward with its intent to punish Michigan football and Jim Harbaugh while the University of Michigan gears up for war. Salvos have not yet been fired in earnest, but we're learning of the artillery in Ann Arbor, and it's a lot. But how does the war with the conference go should the Big Ten take that unprecedented action? We have an idea. Also, the narrative is shifting and why that's a good thing for the Wolverines.

Michigan football has long been sitting in wait, but with the Big Ten looking to immediately and indefinitely suspend Jim Harbaugh, the program is now fighting back in a tangible way. The NCAA admitted there's no connection between Jim Harbaugh and Connor Stalions' schemes yet the Big Ten is pressing forward. Yahoo Sports reports there is no known connection between the investigator and Ryan Day, but we have some thoughts on that, too. Finally, Michigan is embracing being the villain. Support Us...
