Actually on a related note, when I graduated from MSU our commencement speakers were Ron Mason and Tom Izzo. There was a large majority of the student body that were upset that they were the ones giving us our speeches. Looking back on it now however, I have the utmost respect for those gentlemen and I feel very privileged to have heard them speak to us.
Granted, if my graduation ceremony was in Kalamazoo, or Jackson, or Grand Rapids I would be pretty irate.
Not to come to the institution's defense, because I don't think the plan was very well thought out, but when would you have them upgrade the field? During football season? I'm not sure how the players would adapt to mud and bricks and holes in the field. They might have an injury prone season.Quote:

Yes, I am sure there would be inconviences along the way and I am almost sure that this is easier said that done but come on. There must be another way for them to have commencement on their own campus.
I agree with you that they should have commencement on their own campus, but I think the time frame that they're working on at the Big House is very strict. I believe that they're just barely going to get it done in time for football season.
Having it at EMU is ridiculous, but I just don't think having it at the Big House is an option.
That being said, they should be able to find some place around the campus to place everyone. U of M isn't exactly small.
Ok, I have no first hand knowledge of the project/scope/magnitude of what is going on.
With that said, over 100,000 people flood that place half a dozen times a year. They cannot set up some sort of portable facilities, generators, etc. to make this happen?
Don't get me wrong, I think it's hilarious.
"The kids just want to graduate and the administration is screwing it up!"
I don't know D. I don't think it's possible to avoid or live with the contruction. I remember reading they are widing seats, and for some reason I thought they needed to install new turf too. I don't think you can simply work around what they are doing to the stadium or they would find a way. I'm not saying the EMU idea is great at all, but I can understand the inability to use the Big House.
How much are the construction costs? You don't just stop in the middle so kids can be handed a rolled up piece of paper. Nor do you hold graduation in the middle of a construction zone.
This is just silly.
