Rich Rod charging for pics at camp?

Submitted by Colt McBaby Jesus on August 28th, 2009 at 11:33 AM

I heard a rumor the other day that Rich Rod is charging $5 for players who come to the Michigan camp to get their picture with him. This, apparently, was not something Carr did. I'm just curious if this is accurate or not so much.

Actually at Carr's camp, there was a charge for underclassmen. Every senior got a free pic. I'm guessing you are talking about the high school camp.

I also heard a rumor space aliens stole Michael Jackson's brain. Evidence please.

Pretty sure there's like 10+ years of evidence confirming that.

If you are asking me for evidence, I have none. That's why I'm asking if anyone has any first hand knowledge.

There's yet another break in the Michael Jackson case. He did not die from a drug overdose as was intitially indicated. He actually died from complications due to food poisoning, from eating 5 year old weiners.

The final line of the version I heard was "they found a 8 year old wiener in his mouth." I heard it the day after his death, but it was always too soon to post.

I think the "too soon" rule doesn't apply to Michael Jackson. But it's always smart to err on the side of caution.

I heard about his death at Improv after a Second City show. They asked for news topics and somebody said Michael Jackson and so they explained it to the audience. It was a little weird. That improv scene was two morticians and the line I still remember is "Well, at least we'll save money on embalming."

The report I heard was he was found dead with 8-year old nuts in his mouth. Did you hear what the woman on the beach said to Michael Jackson? . . . Get out of my son/sun.

not as much of a bargain as free but not worth making a fuss over.

I went to the high school camp after the NC season and I definitely paid for a pic with Coach Carr. And if memory serves me correct it was more like $10 or $15.

Great, this is good news. I was curious because I was in a discussion with a RR hater and this was one of his arguments against him. Thank you for your help.

Carr definitely charged for pictures as well, so this is a non story. Plus, if I were a coach I'd charge for pictures too in hopes that the line would get smaller and I wouldn't have to take so many damn pictures. That would get annoying after about 15 minutes.

photograph. The coach is not charging to be photographed. There is a difference.

I went to Michigan's basketball camp during the Fab Five era and got a picture with Steve Fisher for free. Still have it and still pumped about it.

PS: There is a possibility that the NCAA does not allow freebies of any kind, so coaches have to charge for those types of pics. For example: When families of players come in for a picnic or something, Michigan must charge those families a nominal fee for the food otherwise it is an NCAA violation. I dont know if that applies to the photo situation, but it could if Carr was charging too....
