Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh says he will gift his bonus to staffers who took pay cuts

(CNN)Michigan Wolverines head football coach Jim Harbaugh will donate the bonus money he'll earn this season to employees of the athletic department who were impacted by Covid-19-related pay cuts, Harbaugh said.

Harbaugh secured a $500,000 bonus Saturday when the Wolverines defeated rival Ohio State Buckeyes to secure the Big Ten East Division crown.

He and his wife, Sarah, "were talking about it last night, and we decided any bonus money that I am to receive through this season will be redirected to reimburse U of M athletic department employees who have stayed while taking a voluntary or mandatory pay reduction during the last 18 months during the pandemic," Harbaugh said Monday in his weekly interview on the "Inside Michigan Football" radio show.

There are so many people his wife and children have gotten close to, "whether it's folks that work here in football or at the ticket department or baseball coaches, (swimming and diving coach) Mike Bottom," Harbaugh said.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) plays a horrific death threat she received following Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) recent Islamophobic attacks on her.

Warning: It's incredibly graphic.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) calls out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for demanding she retake her oath of office on a Bible:

“That says a lot about somebody who says she believes in the Constitution, because she obviously hasn’t read it.”
