In all likelihood, Milton will be the quarterback and Bell will be his top target.
Matt Holm is an old-school guy, the type to avoid social media. He’d rather be locked away watching film in his capacity as defensive coordinator at Batavia High School.
So when his team was set to play J.J. McCarthy and Nazareth Academy two years ago, he didn’t know who McCarthy was.
“There was a little bit of a mystique, you know,” Holm said. “Oh my god, we’re playing J.J. It was coming from coaches, it was coming from players.
Universities have been dropping men’s gymnastics programs since the advent of Title IX in 1972, so this isn’t a new problem, but it’s one accelerated by the pandemic.
Below is Michigan’s 2020 schedule:
“This will not affect our campus testing capacity,” Schlissel said. “Football will not be played in front of fans this fall, but it will be great to have coach (Jim) Harbaugh and out outstanding team representing U-M in the months ahead.
“If all goes well, the first game is scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 23 and 24.”
The Division I Council approved Wednesday moving fall sport championships to spring 2021, moving it to the Board of Directors for approval. For Michigan, this impacts men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s and women’s soccer and volleyball.
Football is back, starting Oct. 23. Just five weeks after postponing the season indefinitely, it’ll happen long before anyone — including the people in charge — thought was possible. Here’s everything you need to know from the Big Ten’s press conference to explain the decision.
“He’s very open-minded and he’s not rushing to make a final decision,” Panos Voulgaris, Kendall’s coach at Nobles and Greenough School, said. “And I think the fact that it doesn’t look like we’re gonna be playing any games, it hasn’t expedited the decision at all.
“So he’s being patient and he wants to have the most clarity on making a final decision. So no rush at this point.”
So let’s stop here for a minute. The football coach, whose salary and public profile dwarfs the University president’s, publicly protested a major decision that the University president helped make.
Originally, the plan was for Saturday’s protest to go from the tunnel entrance of the Big House to South University Avenue, where University President Mark Schlissel resides. Organizers scrapped that due to construction.
If they hadn’t, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh would have been protesting outside his president’s house.
