    Quality of the engineering school was a pretty transparent excuse.

      Academics is nearly always a transparent excuse.

          Even worse.... I don't think the NCAA cares.

            How do we compete with paying players and their family? Do we start paying players? How did we get Peppers to come to Michigan?

              I don't want to get into it again WB, but my consistent position has always been that we should do what the SEC does. Entropy is right. The NCAA doesn't care at all. Best possible alternative is that these athletes get paid by the school. Then you have the IRS involved. I wonder if Cam Newton's father reported the $ 175,000?

              If Jim Delaney really wanted to do some good for the B10, he would arrange for some five stars to wear a wire during their visits to FSU, Auburn, Old Miss and Alabama. Trouble is, the B10 schools would have to be clean (notice how nicely I put that, not hurting anyone's feelings).

              I think Peppers is just a unique kid. He said recently that he is not going to leave UM without getting his degree.

                Its not the universities that are taking care of the athletes, its the boosters around the program.

                        Just getting them to visit is progress. This wasn't happening before.

                            Hoke couldn't regularly get the top 75 overall types to visit Ann Arbor, not that I see JH doing a much better job (so far).

                              Eh? Since when? Even RichRod got Top 75 types to visit. He just never landed them.

                              Standards have gotten very sadly low around here that now people are celebrating visits as if they are an accomplishment.

                                ....... it is grasping for straws to support their views of HARBAUGH!!!.
                                Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
