On the UM catfishing: They had an attractive female contact athletes on social media. Some athlete responses were wholly inappropriate.

Brandon had meeting with players, and the girl walked in. Athletes were shocked, but it was valuable lesson in dangers of social media.

If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
if they had an ACTUAL attractive lady contact them, the it wouldn't be catfishing then would it?

does not understand the definition of catfish. Chick on the other end should be ugly or a dude.

To be fair, all buckeyes are either ugly chicks or dudes.
with the date and time on that? Will it happen this afternoon, or was it in China?
going all Hot Lips on our athletes. Nothing against anyone's chosen forms of sexuality, everything against Brandon as make-believe partner in same. He couldn't just TELL them about it?
maybe Brandon thinks he can turn this into a TV show and make $$$$$$

EDIT: Just picture Dave Brandon doing it on the other side of the computer. Just do it. Ya know what? Don't. I did it, it's bad.
HAIL.
Story has cracked deadspin too. But it just has a link to Rowland's twitter page....http://deadspin.com/5980824/
women's gymnastics team to wear skates and wrestle catfish during stoppage of play at Michigan hockey games. Brandon claims, "it adds to the WOW factor".

Your opinion has no value.
smells like fish on that ice.

Should have them learn how to rollerblade too. Then they can do the same thing for football.

This is quite interesting...
I am very curious how the catfishing occured...
I suppose it is a good idea to do whatever it takes to ensure following policies and avoiding embarassment though....
Bits and pieces rolling in...
It sounds like they had a picture of a female athlete and contacted the players. Some players responded with inappropriate comments. Brandon had a sitdown with them and had the female athlete walk in, which surprised the players. Overall, not a bad way of doing things.
How am I supposed to believe anything out of Dave Brandon's mouth anymore? What if Crisler and Yost weren't actually renovated? What if we're all living a sham!??!??!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
This is probably not a bad idea. Many young kids today have an "it can't possibly happen to me" attitude. Telling kids about how this can happen and actually showing that it can happen TO THEM are two different things. I kind of like the athletic department being proactive and thinking outside of the box on this.
It's a little bit like the old-fashioned dad who finds his son smoking and then makes him smoke a whole pack of cigarettes at once. A lot of people, especially young people, have to be burned before they learn a lesson (and sometimes so do I, for that matter).

Love the George Bluth reference on the Twitter snapshot in the OP. Absolutely.

If Michigan is catfishing, Alabama will be setting up full "The Game" scenarios that end with recruits crashing through glass ceilings. (https://twitter.com/edsbs/status/297354630554337280)
Per MLive Beat Reporter Kyle Meinke, the AD had a real girl contact them, so even Michigan's fake encounters with girls online are better than ND's.

This shit is creepy as fuck. All of it.

The part I don't understand is why are people using social media to MEET other people. I get that people use social media like maniacs to communicate with people they already know - it's not for me but I get it, and I love twitter for news and humor - but people try to meet chicks on social media?
Maybe I'm just too much of a visceral dude (or an shallow a-hole), but what good is a girlfriend you can't have sex with or touch her bewbs?
Intensity is a lot of guys that run fast.
I think they hope that the social media will lead to the bewbs part.

Well then, I suggest you search #freecrunkbear if you're looking for a fun time.
Here's a NSFW collage one of her students put together....Yes, she is their teacher. Wow.

...Rowland:
There was no public shaming. I see many OSU fans bashing Michigan and Brandon, but I think it's smart to educate players.
— Kyle Rowland (@KyleRowland) February 1, 2013
I'd say the Manti Te'o saga illustrates that point big time.
— Kyle Rowland (@KyleRowland) February 1, 2013
Can't say I disagree with Rowland. This was a good move by #1000SS.
According to 11W, Brandon provided these comments while taking questions from reporters at the KeyBank Global Leaders Forum in Toledo Friday morning.

I really want to know who got catfished and who in the AD did the catfishing.
