Ex-Michigan WR, current U-M grad assistant Roy Roundtree named WRs coach at Div. II Grand Valley State
A former Michigan football player is now a former Michigan football staffer as well.
Last week, Grand Valley State announced the hiring of Roy Roundtree as the school’s new wide receivers coach. Roundtree spent the past two seasons as a graduate assistant for the Michigan football program.
Roundtree also played for Michigan football, spending 2009-12 as a Wolverine wide receiver.
“We are excited to have Roy join our football program,” said GVSU head coach Matt Mitchell in a statement. “He brings instant credibility to the wide receiver room because he produced on the field at the highest level and he has also coached it on the field at the highest level. Roy has a great personality and I feel he will have an instant connection with that position group.”
Prior to U-M, Roundtree spent the 2017 season as the wide receivers coach at Indiana State, 2016 as the wide receiver coach at Limestone and 2015 at Colorado State-Pueblo.
“I can’t wait to get started and I look forward to the opportunity when I can begin working with our wide receiver unit in person,” said Roundtree. “I have been able to watch them on video, but because of the situation we are currently in due to the Coronavirus, I will have to wait to meet with them as a position group.”

Not food. I think that was a character in an episode of Futurama.

NCAA Recruiting Rules Changes

The fact this is such a big headline only underscores that most people expect the NCAA to pull a dick move whenever possible.NCAA allows schools to reimburse players for unofficial and official visits canceled due to coronavirus
The NCAA continues to open up their rulebook in order to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
In an announcement made Friday evening, the organization issued a number of waivers to schools regarding expenses for student-athletes. The most notable of these includes allowing programs to reimburse recruits for expenses related to canceled official and unofficial visits.
Schools pick up the tab for official visits already but if there’s something like an extra family member coming along, seems like that can get reimbursed now. Unofficial visits are paid entirely by the players and their families themselves.
It remains to be seen how this reimbursement will work. Given the number of visits that take place during the coming weeks for spring football practice, it could add up to some sizable checks being cut either way.
“The NCAA Division I Council and its Coordination Committee recognize that the decisions they make must be grounded in the values of higher education and must reflect the realities of the challenges facing higher education. This is certainly magnified during this unprecedented period resulting from COVID-19,” said Grace Calhoun, chair of the Division I Council. “To that end, as an example, the Coordination Committee, acting on behalf of the Council, took timely action to address health and safety concerns among student-athletes, prospective student-athletes and coaches. The Coordination Committee identified other issues that lend themselves to full Council review and decision-making.”
While it doesn’t specifically apply to football, a vote on eligibility relief for spring/winter sports athletes will be held on March 30.
The NCAA has already halted all person-to-person recruiting until April 15. This has resulted in a dead period across all sports, including football.

I like the picture. But if Dan Fouts was on fire and needed my help I'd repeat his "Bad Call!" outburst from the Fiesta Bowl. I wouldn't lose any sleep if he died choking on his own turd.
