Jim Harbaugh's future at Michigan is still up in the air as the Wolverines prepare for their biggest game of the season.

Harbaugh will not be on the sideline for today's contest against Ohio State as he serves the final game of a three-game suspension. Unfortunately, ESPN's Paul Finebaum thinks the worst may yet be to come for Harbaugh.

In a conversation on The Tim May Show earlier this week Finebaum suggested an unknown Michigan booster might be a problem for Harbaugh.

“There are a lot of Uncle T characters in college sports, and at some point you find out… somebody was going to turn. They always do,” Finebaum said. “And that’s really Jim Harbaugh’s nightmare.”

“For him to try to convince people that he sat in the big office and had no idea," Finebaum added. "I mean football operations, they may be large at Michigan and Ohio State and Alabama and Georgia. There may be all kinds of people around. But the head coach knows everything. The coaches wanna know. They wanna know everything going on. They’re control freaks.”

One Michigan booster who was reported to be "Uncle T" already said he's not the booster trying to bring Harbaugh down.

The question remains: who is Uncle T?
