More Info
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.

By inappropriate I assume
By inappropriate I assume they mean "attempted to have sex with a person they found attractive as soon as possible". Also know as what 70% of this campus is doing on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

Eew. The idea of Brandon
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?

who knows
maybe Brandon thinks he can turn this into a TV show and make $$$$$$

Sexuality is not
- Sexuality is not chosen
- Your 'Hot Lips' comment made me think of silence of the lambs, where buffalo bill (while applying lipstick and looking in the mirror) says "Would you f*** me? I'd f*** me, I'd f*** me so hard."
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.

Different kind of catfish games. Brandon wants the
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".

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!??!??!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!

All of the athletic facility renovations are just holographic projections. The power source and projection mechanism are located deep in the basement of Schembechler Hall.

Actually
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.
February 1st, 2013 at 10:44 AM
#32
Agreed
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).

I agree with you 100%.
It is not hard to envision them feeling that way.
I don't know where DB comes up with his idea of a D1 athletes behavior, of course.

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
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.

Why are people
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?

I think they hope that the social media will lead to the bewbs part.

More from...
...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.
