The meeting between Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti and Santa Ono did indeed take place today, as Petitti was already in town.
What we know as of right now is that people were heading into this meeting with the expectation that Jim Harbaugh would receive some sort of suspension. What we don’t know as of this writing whether that will be handed down or not.
What I can tell you all is Petitti ASKED Ono to suspend Harbaugh for two games. Yes, you read that right, asked. Ono effectively told him to get lost.
My understanding is Warde Manuel would also push back on the two-game suspension talk.
While Petitti can still use his rights as commissioner to implement a suspension himself, he’s not going to get Michigan’s cooperation in this case with Harbaugh.
Again, it’s still unknown as of this writing whether Harbaugh IS suspended or not, I’m still working to find out but Michigan isn’t going to play ball.
