Re: I know every program has these things It's a selection bias. I would guess NU takes more students that don't need academic support to graduate. Michigan takes more students who are likely to have careers in the NFL. So if you take a student like Perry and have him switch to UM, his chances...

Re: It's now official: he decommitted Yes.

Re: I know every program has these things Not much, but probably more than you think. Shari Acho is well regarded within and outside the UM community. The M-Pact program is a great program. I think you need to remind the poster to whom I was responding that if he thinks UM's website page for...

Re: I know every program has these things Well, I really didn't see what the NU support services do for their athletes. Which syllabus would this one be?

Re: It's now official: he decommitted My impression (without too much inside info) is that Perry is not intimidated by other recruits, and that he likes the intangibles at UM (and that's not a crack at NU, b/c he obviously likes what NU has to offer). He has friends going there and his family...

Re: Looks like Perry is a WINNER! I think you are confusing a graduation rate of a group with the likelihood an individual graduates. There is selection bias as well. You may not be familiar with UM's Academic Services offered to its student athletes. For those motivated (sounds like Mr...

Re: It's now official: he decommitted Great question. What really didn't come out during the national media following his hire is that he has always dreamed of coaching Michigan. He probably would have come to Michigan had his star not been SOOOOOOOOOO high after his Stanford tour. I think we...

Re: Looks like Perry is a WINNER! I don't think UM football players go on to be bouncers and car dealers. Our last 2 AD's were very successful businessmen and sacrificed salary to serve the University. Sometimes they also succeed on the field. I'm not sure if you watched the super bowl last...
