they constantly give me shit about Michigan whenever I catch up with them. When situations happen at their schools, despite if the regents/AD get along or not, everyone usually starts pulling in the same direction and puts out a unified message. Michigan just doesn't seem to do that. We simply have/had people in power positions that use information to push forward their view on what our athletic department should look like and it's people pulling in multiple directions with multiple motives. Creates the sloppy shop look and has opened us up to a lot of criticism, a good portion of that deserved and self-inflicted.

Back to the board

Thread:

Michigan has a snake problem. Even when they get rid of some of them, they let them stick around for too long. Hope the next AD has that as a top priority. Need to be unified, and better PR.* - By gbmcq September 14, 2026 at 04:37:15 PM

- It's a Michigan tradition. Perhaps at other schools as well, and we're "normal." But we've had people like this in the AD since at least the late 90's.* - By ftb September 14, 2026 at 04:52:50 PM
