What Big Ten settlement means for Michigan football and Jim Harbaugh

Nov 4, 2023; Piscataway, New Jersey, USA; Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day leads warm-ups prior to the NCAA football game against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. /

Ryan Day is a loser either way

What’s interesting is that this doesn’t help Ryan Day either way. If Ohio State beats Michigan football, people are going to say it was only because Harbaugh wasn’t there.

If Harbaugh is still around in 2024 and beats Ryan Day, it will essentially make a win this year (If Ohio State gets it) meaningless, at least in that context.

Outside of leading Ohio State to a national championship, nothing is going to get Day off third base until he beats Jim Harbaugh again.

On the other hand, if Ohio State drops the game to Michigan football, it might be Ryan Day who isn’t around in 2024, which is why I believe the PR firm, when it’s all said and done will have ties to Day and Ohio State.

I know that (it hasn’t been proven) like people say they know Harbaugh cheated. I know we’ll find out someday who was right.

For now, just beat Ohio State.
