Former Buccaneers Quarterback Tom Brady Responds to Jim Harbaugh Suspension

On Twitter former Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady comes in defense of the suspended Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh.

The University of Michigan Football has been in hot water this season over a sign-stealing scandal involving Connor Stalions a now former off-field analyst. 

Stalions was caught buying tickets to games of upcoming Michigan opponents and filming the hand signals of those teams. This is explicitly against the rules.

While the team is 10-0 throughout this, the story does not seem like it is going away anytime soon. 

Last week it took a new turn, the Conference announced on Friday that the University was in violation of the Big Ten Sportsmanship Policy.

The Big Ten Conference announcement came with a three-game suspension for Head Coach Jim Harbaugh which will keep him off the sideline for the last games of the regular season.

Former Buccaneers QB Tom Brady and many others came out in support of Jim Harbaugh in light of the suspension which was just prior to their eventual 24-15 win over Penn State.

Current Michigan Quarterback J.J. McCarthy and many current and former Michigan Football players signed off with the same tweet.

Brady of course played at Michigan from 1995 to 1999 before getting selected by the New England Patriots in the 2000 NFL Draft.

A University of Michigan spokesperson said that Michigan is looking "forward to presenting our case next week where we intend to demonstrate that the Big Ten has not acted legally or fairly".
