I especially agree with the final paragraph of the post talking about these student athletes being deprived of time to make it through the academic side of the college experience. I know that many are pure jocks that could care less about the academics and are there only for the football but there are also many more that find it extremely difficult to get enough study time in after the long grueling hours of practice. This is not just a Michigan problem but virtually universal.Caelusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-21920835685990887302009-09-01T01:20:29.411-05:002009-09-01T01:20:29.411-05:00I am absolutely shocked that anyone in the MSM wou...I am absolutely shocked that anyone in the MSM would allow personal beliefs or vendettas to alter news reporting. Good thing we have someone from the New Republic to speak up for the importance of keeping editorial opinions out of the news. I bet the NYT has the same strict policy. :-)<br /><br />I think the charges of coaches watching and recording attendance are somewhat serious and much more difficult to explain. I certainly don't believe anything THAT blatant happened on Carr's watch. It will be interesting to see if the influential boosters truly value the concept of the "Michigan Man" enough to press for the coach's ouster. <br /><br />I think he's completely safe, but only because I'm cynical enough to believe the talk from some quarters of Michigan being special and different was never more than talk - something to salve wounds and possibly salvage some pride after a bitter defeat, but not a pretext worth preserving at the expense of actual wins and losses.chghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299359954137090528noreply@blogger.com
