Michigan Athletic Director, Dave Brandon, is the 2011 div 1-a college football HYPOCRITE of the YEAR!

Sometimes irony can be so delicious you have to say that God indeed has a sense of humor.

 

Brandon talks about a level playing field yet Michigan has not played less than seven homes games in a twelve game regular season in an eternity.

 

Michigan’s four non-conference games this year (all in Ann Arbor) included Western Michigan and Eastern Michigan from the MAC, Notre Dame (which has not been Rockne’s or Parseghian’s Notre Dame for at least two decades), and San Diego State from the Mountain West.  Not one of these teams won more than eight games.  I cannot remember the last time Michigan scheduled a regular season game against the SEC or the Big Twelve.  It might go all the way back to Kordell Stewart’s “Hail Mary” last second touchdown pass.

 

Michigan only played three teams in the Big Ten with winning records and lost two of them.  Michigan barely beat one of the worst Ohio State teams in years.  Michigan did not play Wisconsin or Penn State.

 

Michigan started the season with five consecutive home games.

 

We should never let Michigan forget they scheduled and lost to div 1-aa Appalachian State in Ann Arbor a few years ago.

 

Dave Brandon, you are the last person in the world who should be talking about a “level playing field”.

Michigan AD responds to Ohio State coaches waiver

 

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP)—Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon says he doesn’t understand the waiver that allows Ohio State to briefly exceed the limit of football coaches on staff after hiring Urban Meyer.

 

The existing staff, under Luke Fickell, will prepare the Buckeyes on the field up to and including their Gator Bowl game against Florida on Jan. 2. Meyer, the incoming coach, will handle only recruiting while hiring his own assistants.

 

The NCAA has approved the arrangement, saying it’s not all that rare.

 

Brandon said in an e-mail to The Associated Press: “It allows more coaching resources to work on the two primary responsibilities of any staff—coaching and recruiting. I am struggling to understand how this relates to the `level playing field’ the NCAA claims it is always working to create.”
