Already been done (sort of). They had a show like this, for basketball, on ESPN. It was when Bob Knight coached Texas Tech. Was actually very interesting to see Knight coach and talk about basketball theory and what he was looking for in a walk on. It differed, though, in that 1.) it was basketball, and 2.) the spot available was a walk-on spot, not a schollie.

Not sure how I feel about this. Anytime the word "business" is thrown in with college football the story is rarely positive.

A lot of athletic departments (as well as plenty of companies) would kill to be as lucrative of a business as U of M's AD. Plus, having a pure CEO at the helm of the department is a dead give away that we run things like a business.

I don't like the idea of 60 Minutes judging Michigan football from its ivory tower. I'm not a fan of the show generally. It should be called What Do Old, Wealthy White People Who Fancy Themselves as Progressive Think About Things? Its reporters can distinguish between real injustice and fairness and fake injustice and fairness about as well as a reasonably intelligent hamster.

Just wait for the intelligent

Just wait for the intelligent hamsters to pass this news onto the unintelligent hamsters. This may open up a class war amongst hamsters which could lead to the hamsters realizing it was all started by you. Then you are in for a world of hamster trouble...

Speaking as an old, wealthy white person who fancies myself as progressive I for one appreciate 60 minutes letting me know each week which causes I need to support and what issues I should be morally outraged by.

The preview clip sets this up with the Towson-LSU game actually, but it looks as if the framework will revolve around universities marketing themselves on the national stage through these admittedly lopsided matchups, among other things - basically, selling the program, if I am interpreting this correctly. The clip is interesting and the Towson AD even says essentially that there is no better advertisement for the program.

What is the betting line on Hoke using "boo boo" or "geez I don't know" or "Ohio"?
I will double my UM donation if he just points at the reporter to cut off any tricky questions.
