Jim Harbaugh: Big Ten Should Start Paying Players

Recommended Posts

It just seems to get worst and worst. Harbaugh talks about paying players at Big 10 Media Days.

When the Big Ten signs its record-breaking media contract in a few weeks, Michigan's head coach thinks the players should get a cut.

Strategically that's a good move on Harbaugh's part, whether he fully believes it or not.  Players and recruits will eat it up.  I've been observing him for years, and he has always thrown out these kinds of comments.  He likes to stir it up and if he makes others uncomfortable, more the better.  In other words, take it with a grain of salt. 

 

As an aside, one of my favorite stories is from when he and his brother John faced each other in the Super Bowl, Ravens vs. 49ers.  During Superbowl week, John was expansive, the Harbaugh parents and family were all there, and for John it was all feel-good.  Jim wouldn't join in, was grumpy, avoided the family group pictures, etc.  At the pre-game handshake, word has it that John (the older brother) looked Jim in the eye and said something along the lines of "You behave yourself today."  This reportedly unneverved Jim.  And John won the game.
