Michigan Football: Multiple players defend UM on mental health

When Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh addressed reporters at Big Ten Media Days last Friday, he likely wasn’t trying to cause a stir. However, his comments on transfers and how depression could be used as an excuse to get a waiver certainly caused some blowback.

Many assume that Harbaugh was talking about former Michigan football player James Hudson when he started talking about depression and players being told to say things to get waivers.

Harbaugh said he believed all players should be given a one-time chance to transfer and play right away regardless of why.
