As if winning only 8 of 24 games in two season as the Michigan Wolverines head coach was not sucky enough, Rich Rodriguez also sucks at following the rules. The NCAA has accused the UM program of FIVE major rules violations.
From the NCAA's letter of inquiry the following:
• From January 2008 through this past September, the program exceeded the permissible limit on the number of coaches by five. The NCAA alleges that five quality control staff members illegally engaged in on- and off-field coaching activities.
• From January 2008 through at least last September, the school permitted football staff members to illegally monitor and conduct voluntary summer workouts and impermissible activities outside the playing season. The NCAA also alleges that U-M required players to participate in summer conditioning for disciplinary purposes, and exceed time limits for countable athletically related activities during and outside the playing season.
• Graduate assistant coach Alex Herron provided “false and misleading information to the institution and enforcement staff” during the investigation.
• Coach Rodriguez “failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance within the football program and failed to adequately monitor the duties and activities of quality control staff members, a graduate assistant coach and a student assistant coach, and the time limits for athletically related activities.”
• From January 2008 through at least this past September, the athletics department “failed to adequately monitor its football program to assure compliance regarding the limitations on the number, duties and activities of countable football coaches and time limits for countable athletically related activities.”
Incoming Wolverine AD David Brandon says the school is standing by Rodriguez for next season.
PTI Host Tony Kornheiser was suspended for the week for comments he made on his radio program regarding the above wardrobe of ESPN host Hannah Storm. I know Storm much more so than Kornheiser and I doubt she really cares what that hermit thinks about her outfit. I for one, think she's a total Cougar. I especially like the Wonder Woman boots. Pipe down Kornheiser and chill out World Wide Leader.
This guy is not overmatched in the least bit. Great broadcasting chops!
