This is not affect 99% of the student population.

Particularly because the football season is over. And luckily all the focus can shift to the #1 ranked basketball team.

Sorry, but the football program is a HUGE part of the university and this will have carryover repercussions.

For admissions? So maybe my kid will have a hair of a chance next year?

This is not going to change people's desire to attend/not attend the school.

College is bigger than admissions unlike what this board leads you to believe.

One schmuck is not going to bring down a university. What exactly are you implying will happen? The football team will be less successful? And then what? Connect the dots please.

And the number one ranked hockey team

Not a chance

Literally no one cares. I have only skimmed here, but it sounds like the coach got fired, so what's the problem?

Can't have it both ways - a big successful football program has been a proven way to get a huge increase in applications. When said program is constantly in scandals, it will take away from that increase.

I'm sure every UMich alumn loves having to talk about this and all now again all the other coaches (7) who have been fired for *issues* recently.

39 other college football coaches are paid more than he was. Highest was UGA coach at 13mill+, about to be eclipsed by new LSU coach who ditched Ole Miss: https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/football/coach

13 million is insanity

These football programs bring in a quarter billion dollars in revenue a year. Why would they not deserve 5% of the revenue? That's not including boosters.

This isn't going to keep alums from being fans.

Nor is this going to affect applicants. My kid is interested in UM and is definitely not into football.

There is not a reverse "Flutie effect." Michigan is a very large school with a very long-standing presence in D1 sports broadly. A scandal-ridden football administration is not going to move the needle on app volume.

Yeah unless there's evidence of a coverup I don't see this impacting anything except maybe football transfers. This comes across as a single bad actor who got fired and it didn't appear to impact players.

I did not read all of the comments but some of the early ones referring to the side chick as victim are plain wrong.

Both of them are gross and wrong, him more than her but both were consenting adults. The time she should be considered a victim is any threatening behavior but at the start, she was no victim.

No, it's not.

OP clearly had other intentions starting this post as a troll/poser. Unfortunately, DCUM is too smart for that. The actions of one man do not reflect an entire university and the actions of a football coach have zero impact on the academic integrity. I feel sorry for the victim and for Moore’s family. I’m glad the university acted swiftly and removed an individual who does not represent the values of the school.

OP here. Proud alum of Michigan EECS and attended every home game from 99–03 during Carr/Brady/Henson era. No other intentions beyond hearing from an academic-focused, non-football crowd away from A2.

DP. If it reassures you, my junior, female interested in ME from out of state, not only wouldn't care about this scandal, but is unlikely to ever hear about it unless I tell her, or unless she gets in and starts paying attention to football. The school's reputation in engineering is intact.

Well clearly she intended to get pregnant. And he was too stupid to wear protection.

There is no way that students aren't talking about this. Maybe she doesn't care, but this is a huge nationwide story and surely being talked about even "ME out of state students"

It doesn't have any bearing on the school. It has everything to do with our toxic sports culture.
