Howard released a statement after his suspension was made public, apologetic for his actions after the game.

"After taking time to reflect on all that happened, I realize how unacceptable both my actions and words were, and how they affected so many. I am truly sorry," Howard said. "I am offering my sincerest apology to my players and their families, my staff, my family and the Michigan fans around the world. I would like to personally apologize to Wisconsin's Assistant Coach Joe Krabbenhoft and his family, too."

Howard also notes that he didn't represent the University of Michigan with class and pride and has learned from his mistake.

"Lastly, I speak a lot about being a Michigan man and representing the University of Michigan with class and pride; I did not do that, nor did I set the right example in the right way for my student-athletes," Howard said. "I will learn from my mistake and this mistake will never happen again. No excuses!"

Howard will miss Michigan's upcoming home games against Rutgers on Wednesday and Illinois on Sunday, as well as the rivalry rematch against Michigan State on March 1, the home finale against Iowa on March 3 and the regular-season finale against Ohio State on March 6.
