Brandon says AD job isn't 'temporary stop' to politics

**Sorry for writing this as though it were a news article. It's all I know how to do.** Newly-installed U-M Athletic Director David Brandon said Monday that his new job isn't a "temporary stop" on the way to a career in politics. Brandon, the former CEO of Domino's Pizza, said he'd signed a five year agreement with an option to extend it. "No, this isn't a temporary stop," Brandon said during an appearance on Fox Business Network. "I've signed a five-year agreement -- in a form of commitment with the University of Michigan -- and if that five years goes well, and both sides are agreeable, the intention would be to extend it." Brandon has long been rumored to have an interest in running as a Republican for political office, either for governor or a U.S. Senate seat. The former Domino's exec said that his new job, which he assumed this month, succeeding former AD Bill Martin, said was not one he planned to abandon anytime soon. "This is not a job you want to take on a short-term basis," he said. "There's a lot to do here, plenty of challenges. And this is what I plan to do for the forseeable future."
