Tom Brady, one of the most renowned figures associated with Michigan, naturally expressed his perspective on the matter. On Friday afternoon, the Big Ten officially revealed its sanctions against the Michigan Wolverines and their head coach, Jim Harbaugh.
The Big Ten clarified that the punishment was directed at the program, not specifically at Harbaugh, by barring him from the sideline for Michigan’s last three regular-season games. Despite acknowledging a lack of evidence implicating Harbaugh in the sign-stealing scandal, the conference opted for a three-game suspension for the head coach.

In response to the news, Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy took to social media, initiating a trend with a concise one-word post: “Bet,” shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
This trend gained momentum, with former Michigan and legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady joining in, echoing the sentiment with a “Bet” in a quote tweet.
The collective stance of the Michigan Men remains defiant in the aftermath of the announced punishment, staunchly supporting their head coach. While the possibility exists that Harbaugh had no knowledge of the sign-stealing, the Big Ten’s decision appears indifferent to this possibility. Michigan promptly filed a lawsuit, seeking to overturn the suspension and have Harbaugh on the field for the upcoming game against Penn State later in the afternoon.
Undoubtedly, this unfolding narrative is poised to continue dominating headlines in the realm of college football.
