Michigan WR sucker punches guy outside Ann Harbor bar

Let's face it, Michigan has not done a very good job in getting a solid coach for years. You would have won quite a few more games if you had guys who knew how to coach. That has been the weakest area for the Wolverines for well over a decade.

It'll change this year!

That's fine, our schools are not. You see a video of your WR punching a guy, you should kick him off the team.

Our kicker, Gibbons, was booted out of the University just because a girl accused him of r*pe -- yet no official charges were ever filed.

Former Michigan Kicker Expelled For Sexual Misconduct

"An additional OSCR document signed by [associate director Stacy] Vander Velde and dated Nov. 20, 2013, stated that it was determined by the University that a preponderance of evidence supports "a finding that the Respondent engaged in unwanted or unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, committed without valid consent, and that conduct was so severe as to create a hostile, offensive, or abusive environment." The Daily has been told that the respondent referred to in this letter is Gibbons. Complainants in this case are not identified in the documents reviewed by the Daily."

"The seemingly strange thing about the university's decision is the timing of it. One can't help but wonder why now, five years after the alleged r*pe took place, Michigan has decided to take action against Gibbons. The word "cover-up" is getting thrown around a lot, and the fact that Gibbons is being suspended just after his football eligibility expired certainly raises an eyebrow, but as the Daily explains, the timing of the university's decision may have more to do with newly instituted policies:

Revised University policies regarding sexual misconduct may have forced officials to internally review or re-review the allegations. The updated policies, which have been in effect since 2011, state that any allegation of sexual misconduct received by the University must be investigated.
​

It's unclear why there was a three-year lag time between the new policies being instituted and action being taken, but the case has by now attracted enough attention around Ann Arbor that if something sketchy was going on here, it will almost certainly come out."

The rule change was spurred by the incident so they could kick him out without being charged

But not by the athletic department. I am no lawyer but cant the coach kick him off the team even if he is not charged?

"Csont’e York has been dismissed from the Michigan football program," Hoke said in a released statement. "Representing the University of Michigan is a privilege and, while second chances are certainly deserved, sometimes it’s better for everyone if that happens somewhere else. Overall, I have been proud of how responsible our team has been this offseason and how hard they’ve worked to prepare for the season.”


Good job Brady!
