Michigan Thursday: Jimmy's Turn at the Mike

Jim Harbaugh will take the stage today at Big Ten Media Days at 12:30, I assume he won't take questions on the pending NCAA suspension as it has not been finalized or announced.  I'm sure it will be a circus-like atmosphere. 

As a reminder the Michigan players in attendance today will include Blake Corum, Mike Sainristil and Kris Jenkins. 

• Colorado has elected to leave the PAC 12  10 9 to re-join the Big 12 conference next season.  That is one program going through a ton of change.   The PAC #? continues to lose members and can't get a TV deal, which is leading to a slow death. 

• Zavier Simpson has signed a two-way deal with the Detroit Pistons.  I hope he gets more than his fair share of time on the Pistons roster. 

• It seems the TV executives at CBS think it's a good idea to put Gary Danielson on Big Ten games as he spoke at Media Day.   Please put him on Minnesota - NW.

• Speaking of the Golden Gophers, it seems there are some rumblings about player mistreatment.  Too many hours rowing the boat?  

• We knew there would be a ton of Michigan night games with these new TV contracts.  MSU and Purdue are the 2 latest.  What could go wrong with a night game in East Lansing after the tunnel incident last season?

• As I reported earlier in the week, Northwestern 4-star 2023 LB Nigel Glover will be visiting this weekend and could be the first player ever to go from the Big House BBQ to suiting up on the practice field.
