| 1 week 19 hours ago | Strip Clubs |
The strip clubs in Tennessee suck. There are very strict rules about distance. I went there for a bachelor party before. Be forewarned. |

When Brandon came in, he proclaimed that he would preserve traditions but "update" them. You may consider "updated tradition" to be an oxymoron, but Brian shows that it's possible to pull off (for instance, historical documentaries on a huge video board). Brandon's mission was the right one, but the execution has been cheesy and generic.

Only if you work for the Free Press. And if that's the case, it's probably your headline. |

| 5 weeks 1 day ago | Timing |
The timing could be key. I believe Emmert is going to ask the NCAA to ratchet up penalties during the NCAA board meeting this month . Assuming for the sake of delight that the new penalties are put in place, I wonder if they would reach back to OSU violations that occurred before the new penalties but were only discovered after the new penalties took effect. |
| 5 weeks 1 day ago | ESPN v. Ohio State |
I would guess the SportsByBrooks info is not coming from the lawsuit. The documents released by OSU thus far have been out there for months, and it's bland stuff that's probably been combed through a thousand times. The really good documents, which are the reason for the lawsuit, are still under lock and key. If ESPN wins then we all get to see them and we hopefully see a front page story or, inshallah, another major NCAA violation. The Ohio Supreme Court hasn't released its opinion yet. They've been sitting on it for months, and I'm expecting to see a decision soon. I've been checking every day to no avail. |

What does he mean when he says we people to "invest in the important work we do"? I think he's talking about investing in the facilities, not in the program, since the whole blog post is about facilities. After that paragraph, he says that "big-time" college athletics is changing and that Michigan needs to "adapt." Of course he had to tack on a "while respecting our traditions." Then he says we need to "build upon those traditions," i.e. change stuff that traditional people don't want changed. It sounds like Brandon is about to piss off some traditionalists in his quest for cash. Welcome to Arby's Arena at the Crisler Center! |

There are strict rules about how the school (or part of it, like the football program) regulates speech, such as use of twitter. As others have discussed, this is because Michigan (a state school) must abide by the 1st Amendment. Under the 1st Amendment the school is not allowed to regulate according to content. In other words, you can't prevent "football-related" tweets. You can't prevent girl-related tweets. There are a couple of very narrow exceptions. The only content you can probably ban are obscene tweets and those likely to cause violence (that's a hard one to qualify for, by the way). What the school is allowed to do is to put into place reasonable "time, place and manner" restrictions. For instance, you can ban tweeting during football practice and gametime. You can ban tweeting when you are on or in football facilities. But that's probably it.
