ANN ARBOR, Michigan -- Ric Flair strutted out of Schembechler Hall on Monday and into a private car.
The former pro wrestling legend was at Michigan to see Jim Harbaugh, as the two have been friends since the Wolverines coach played with the Chicago Bears in the late 1980s.
Flair was known as the villain in the wrestling world, and Harbaugh now finds himself and the Wolverines being described as the villains of the college football world amid allegations of sign stealing and in-person scouting that have triggered an NCAA investigation.
Despite what's being said outside the program, Michigan's players aren't shying away from the newfound target on their back and the criticism they're receiving.
