(Presumably he can be in the skybox on the headset?)I doubt he can be there at all. If he is in the box or on the headset, he is still coaching. Would make no sense and would be another scandal for the B1G. I suspect he also can't be on the telephone to the "acting" either :-).
In any case, it is probable it won't matter. There will be an "emergency" motion filed in court to restrain the B1G until the "real" lawsuit is filed. I imagine they will find a friendly judge that will allow him to coach in person next Saturday. After that, it gets murkier, but I bet he will get an injunction and coach the last 3 games. Whatever punishment he is going to serve (if any) will be next year, IMO. In this case,delay is "good enough". It may affect whether JH is at Michigan next year though.
Under the suspension, Harbaugh is barred from the venue.
If Michigan delays the suspension, it could affect his availability for the postseason.

Big 10 basically says this was not directed at Harbs, but as the face of the team he has to take the fall.
Here's a pretty full timeline of incidents/events:

And here's the main story on ESPN:

Quote from the Big 10 letter to Michigan:
"This is not a sanction of Coach Harbaugh," the conference said in its report. "It is a sanction against the University that, under the extraordinary circumstance presented by this offensive conduct, best fits the violation."
