Shoutout to B1GSpeed and ActionStanleyJackson for the intel.

The Michigan administration met with the Big Ten Friday prepared to fight for head coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff, having taken him at his word that he had no knowledge of analyst Connor Stalions' actions involving illegal on-site scouting leading to sign stealing. They were even moving forward on a contract extension for the coach that would have made him the highest paid in the conference.

Sources tell us the Big Ten presented Michigan with "overwhelming evidence" of "a plot so extensive" that, in the words of one at the meeting, "someone should have known." The U-M administration met for some time to discuss the options going forward. As of now, Harbaugh is expected to coach against Purdue tomorrow. But more evidence has continued to mount that would, at the very least, put the extension in doubt.

We'll continue to provide updates as we get them.

7 PM news drop - Connor Stalions has been officially fired.

Connor Stalions refused to cooperate with any internal or external investigations or discussions, source said. https://t.co/NuvOehnRb3
