I have heard absolutely nothing to validate whether this is true or not, but it is my duty to report what is out there. Interperet it how you want.
Message boards and Twitter are EXPLODING right now with unsubstantiated rumors that Michigan star WR's Jeremy Gallon and Devin Funchess are going to be dismissed from the Michigan football team after the Michigan Athletic Dept. found out they sold personal football merchandise for cash, similar to Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor scandal in 2010 that ultimately cost Jim Tressell his job.
Now, these are just RUMORS for now, but this situation would be a death blow to this teams chances in their remaining three games, given that Funchess and Gallon are the only offensive threats the Michigan football team have other than a battered Devin Gardner.
Link to Scout: Scout.com Main Board has a lengthy thread on the situation

Hearing a lot of noise and rumors re: Michigan and suspended players -- my understanding is those rumors are false

Now reading that Gallon & Funchess are getting kicked off the team. Does anyone know more about this? What a shitty month to be a UM fan!
