Seems to me that since a former player and a former high ranking administrator feel compelled to make statements concerning UM`s alleged high academic standards, there must be some issue taken with it.
Also,regarding this statement;

"I don't think anyone here has went off on a tangent stating that academic standards are really non-existent if the player is good enough."

I give you;

"By the way, I have no interest in be3ing arrogant about standards. I actually wish they had lower standards. I would have loved it if UM was an option for Charles Rogers."
-Jethro34

So, I believe there is a perception amongst many of the UM fans that UM operates at a higher level than other schools. Again, completely false.
