One interesting quote from a person who worked in the Athletic Department:

"People associated with Michigan athletics have told CNN that they believe there is a cultural problem, if not of indifference certainly of arrogance.

“They are beyond zealots, beyond, about protecting the Michigan brand,’’ said one former employee. “Beyond it. It’s been so damn big for so long, and it permeates the whole place.’’ "
