Michigan Tuesday: BIG Power Struggle

There has always been a question on "who's in charge" when it comes to Michigan's Football  or any major college football program.   The President has the responsibility for the entire University, the AD is the person that overseas all the sports programs, and the head coach is the highest paid employee and probably the highest paid person in the State Government. 


We saw an example of that yesterday, the news about the Big Ten Presidents shutting down football leaked out (or was leaked on purpose) and the Head Coaches felt much differently.   The Big Ten Big Three Head Coaches all had statements on why they should play.   Even high profile players and parents spoke out on wanting to play.   Scott Frost even spoke about playing a ton of non-conference games because the season is too important to University of Nebraska and the economy of Lincoln.  

So that leaves us here today.   Today the Big Ten Presidents are supposedly going to make the final decision on the season.   Who is going to win the power battle?  

  • Normally Michigan fans don't get too excited about kicker/punter recruiting, but we might have to change that mind set as Tommy Doman just got the first ever 6 star punting rating from Chris Sailer Kicking.  

  • 4 star MA OG Drew Kendall is expected to make a decision this month and its looking very positive for the Wolverines.  Drew was clearly waiting to see what Rocco did.  Let's hope Drew is Blue!!  Michigan got a new CB prediction on 24/7 with a high probability yesterday as well.

Season will be canceled eventually. Who thinks a possible NFL draft pick is going to play in the spring jeopardizing their potential? Plus what junior is going to play 20 plus games inside 12 months with a couple months off in summer for spring and fall 2021 football? It’s slow cuts to make it acceptable before full cancellation. Spring football with all the other sports, provided that even happens, is not feasible. It’s all about liability these days & the amount of lawyers we have running things in all aspects. We sue out of stupidity instead of accepting the consequences of our own actions or choices. Sports used the one place for just the purity of sport & competition now it’s been invaded by politics. No escape! It’s maddening!

Just an observation...

PAC 10 - Cancels season - Very heavy Democratic Country

BIG 10 - Cancels season - Heavy Democratic Country

ACC, SEC and BIG 12 - Still not cancelling.... Heavy Republican Country
