$36 Million Blow to Jim Harbaugh Termed a “Disaster” for Michigan as 2024 Suspension Speculations Spark Debate

Jim Harbaugh was set to become one of the highest-paid coaches till he faced a huge blow. University of Michigan‘s sign-stealing scandal has escalated to a whole new level. Before the scandal, discussions about the HC signing a new contract were already ongoing. Harbaugh was set to make $36.68 Million through 2026 with an annual compensation of over $7M. That also includes the base pay, bonuses, and team performance incentives.

However, it will all come crashing down because HC Jim Harbaugh will face a lengthy suspension in 2024. It is a massive blow to his contract; it is a ‘disaster’ as termed. Not to mention, it’s a result of the sign-stеaling scandal and recruiting violations in 2020. Journalist Paul Finebaum had a very intriguing discussion about what Harbaugh could possibly do about it.

Paul Finebaum on the suspension of HC Jim Harbaugh

ESPN College Football on YouTube posted Finebaum’s discussion in the Matt Barrie Show. Harbaugh’s suspension is now a vogue topic, and Michigan is in a bad situation. To that, Finebaum said, “This is a complete and utter disaster for the University of Michigan because there’s so much discovery that the NCAA has already uncovered.”

He continued, “That doesn’t necessarily equate- doesn’t equate at all to what you know the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame PR have been saying. And I think it leads many to believe that Harbaugh will look for any exit he can. It will stop them from giving him the extension. It doesn’t mean that much for today, but it means a lot for tomorrow.”

Jim Harbaugh’s suspension is not just a talk. It’s a huge spoiler given out by Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports. And you know what? That’s not the only suspension he would be facing. In fact, he is currently going through a suspension period.

The Big 10 has already given out their verdict, and HC Harbaugh has accepted his fate. He is currently on suspension for three games for the sign-stealing scandal. Even though the Big Ten is done with it, the NCAA’s investigation is ongoing.

Whеn thе NCAA complеtеs its invеstigation into thе sign-stеaling situation and allеgеd rеcruiting violations from a COVID-19 dеad pеriod in 2020, Harbaugh “could bе suspеndеd for thе bulk of thе 2024 sеason,” according to Brucе Fеldman of Fox Sports and Thе Athlеtic. Now, what do you think about Harbaugh’s huge blow?
