Harbaugh
after it was announced Michigan planned to fight the allegations in the sign-stealing scandal.

Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger reported Michigan’s plan to fight the NCAA’s allegations in the Connor Stalions
investigation. Bielema was quick to find Harbaugh’s old statement.

“If you cheat to win, you’ve already lost.” Harbaugh tweeted when he was the San Francisco 49ers head
coach.

“Really…why did you leave? Was looking forward to playing but understand why you ran to the #NFL.”
Bielema said late Tuesday night.

He then found another clip of Harbaugh, “Be honest,” Harbaugh said in the video. “Tell the truth. If I
want them to tell the truth then I have to tell the truth all the time when you’re in a leadership
position…”

Paul Finebaum sides with Bielema. “I’ve always liked Bret,” Finebaum said on The Paul Finebaum Show
Wednesday. “He was fun when we were together. But he is right. Harbaugh is just a disingenuous fraud
about all the things he used to say. He didn’t want to face the music. By the way, Michigan didn’t really
want him to stay.”
