[rumor-font]I heard that this is what led to Gary Moeller's blow up at Excaliber; that the someone Miles 'banged' was Moeller's wife and that that is why Carr was adamantly against Miles getting the post. [/rumor-font]
Somehow I don't think that will get into the book/excerpts; but when you think about the behavior of Michigan men and women in The Big Chill it all makes sense.

As the World Turns/Guiding Light redeaux:
Initially, Michigan's compliance director, Judy Van Horn, interviewed the coaches, staffers and players herself ? in a clear conflict of interest, since the quality of her performance was one of the central questions to be answered. Yet she did not stop the practice until Rodriguez's lawyer ? not the university's or the NCAA's ? insisted that the U-M and NCAA lawyers should conduct the interviews.
When the investigators asked Van Horn directly if she had told Rodriguez of the missing forms for Countable Athletically Related Activities (CARA), which the NCAA had started investigating, she replied, "I wish I had." If she had, it's doubtful that the former director of football operations, Brad Labadie, would have been allowed to fail to submit them for more than a year, that a university audit would have been deemed necessary, and that Detroit Free Press reporters would have learned about the situation, prompting their FOIA request ? and sparking the bigger story, and the NCAA investigation that followed.

I've read about half of the book thus far. I hope Gordon Gee and Gene Smith do the same before November. Jesus, what a calamity. As bad as things have been handled here thus far, it could get far worse...

The ineptitude of that search was pretty well known, but when you actually read the details, it's truly astonishing. Their friggin' AD (God bless that magnificent sumbitch) went sailboatin' and was incommunicado during a key weekend of their search. His excuse was that he "had a new phone and didn't know how to use it yet".ant80;2020259; said:

Martin sat next to me at a College Softball game last year, I had my daughter with me, it was hard not to say what a cluster #$% he was as AD. Michigan thinks he did such a great job they named a section of the stadium after him.
