Awful time to be a Michigan

Lol, no.

Sure it is. Their most famous football alum has *multiple* cheating scandals.

So? No one GAF....

So your point has shifted from "UM is not a synonym for cheating" to "maybe it is, but no one cares?" OK, I guess.

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.

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"

Not by my kid, who is the above real-life ME out of state prospective applicant.

Really, though, what aspect of this is a stain on a school - of what, 30k undergrads? - that is going to keep applicants away? This one jerk is a spec of dust, who is not only gone but wasn't involved with academics in the first place.

Selfishly, I hope you are right, that applicants are kept away in droves, leaving my kid a higher chance of admission.

Look, weirdo, if your kid is soooo into Michigan they have to know about this. It’s national news. Are you telling us she doesn’t look at Michigan’s website? Doesn’t google the school from time to time to see what’s happening at the school? Doesn’t talk to her mother?

No, we do not discuss football, sorry. And no, she is not currently scouring the web for football scandals or headlines - she is prepping for finals in 5 AP classes.

I don't understand the overinflated sense of importance a blip of a coaching scandal has here on the trajectory of the university.

I do understand that Northwestern - where I also have an engineering student - lost a coach under controversy. May have it affected football recruiting, sure, but not applicant volume, no.

Are you being deliberately obtuse or does it come to you naturally?

You don’t have to google Michigan FOOTBALL to read about this. You don’t even have to google sports generally. It’s a national story and a big U of Michigan story regardless.

I’m not saying it will affect applications. It won’t. I agree with you on that. What I’m saying is that if you have a kid who’s that interested in the school and has no idea what’s even going on there currently that’s really really odd. Good thing they don’t take into account “demonstrated interest” I guess . . .

So dumb. He is going to owe a boatload in child support and divorce settlement after his wife leaves him. And then even more in child support to the new lady he got pregnant. Hope he has been saving his money.

ME = mechanical engineering, which the OP engineering grad would know.

No one. I was being facetious to show how dumb the other PP's take is, as they claim that a nerdy high school girl should obviously be aware of this Big Scandal Affecting Michigan if they are truly interested in the university via having googled news about the school.
