Michigan responds to Big Ten, saying commissioner doesn't have discipline authority, AP sources say

The University of Michigan warned Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti about overstepping his authority and rushing to judgment, insisting Wednesday that he cannot discipline coach Jim Harbaugh under the conference’s sportsmanship policy for an alleged sign-stealing scheme that has rocked college football. The letter is Michigan’s response to the Big Ten’s notification of potential discipline of Harbaugh's undefeated second-ranked team, which is among the favorites to win the national championship.
