Although directly unrelated with the posting below, it seems the U-M athletic department has something of a crime problem they seem content to keep trying to sweep under the rug. In the last few years, U-M varsity athletes have been arrested in a prostiution sting, charged with assault and battery, recieved an MIP, tried for rape, convicted of assault again, sentenced to one year’s probation for assault, injured in a shooting, and charged with disorderly conduct for their role in a fight. While I won’t speculate about the causes of the above list, I do think it indicates something needs to change.
