[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The University of Michigan is now a synonym for cheating.  [/quote]

No, it's not.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

Stick to r/uofm where the other EECS people hang out en masse.  You are just lending legitimacy to the idea that what happens with semi-pro sports matters a lot to the university experience.

Believe it or not, it's completely possible to enjoy being a Michigan STUDENT without paying attention to anything concerning the football team.  It can even be fun to be a fan of a bad team, were it to come to that.  And nobody would even notice if Michigan apps fell by 25% other than the raw counts.  To me this is just another of the endemic scandals in the college athletics space.  Blah blah blah.

I'm glad they fired this guy as well as all the other prominent criminals and policy violators that have been brought down across academia and sports and business and government. They know the rules and flout them anyway.  I don't want these people in charge of my economy, my government, my education, or my entertainment.  Keep brooming them out and then maybe future jerks will think harder before deciding to do dumb/immoral/illegal things.[/quote]
