It’s one of the most polarizing and controversial terms in sports: asterisk.

Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan Wolverines are on the verge of being the center of yet another asterisk discourse. By winning the college football national championship on Monday against Washington, Michigan would reach yet another rung on the list of the most well-known — and successful — cheaters in sports.

The Wolverines have the reputation of a team built on fraudulent recruiting and using fraudulent means to gain a major gameday advantage.

Harbaugh was suspended six games this season for their two separate cheating scandals. Including Michigan’s thrilling Rose Bowl overtime win over Alabama, Harbaugh has coached in just eight.
