Two Michigan football players have retained their eligibility after the school hired their former high school coach to a support staff role.
A U-M spokesman said the football program sought and obtained a blanket NCAA waiver for second-year players Blake Corum and Nikhai Hill-Green when Biff Poggi was hired last month.
“The waiver ensures the players retain their eligibility and allowed the department to proceed with the hire of Biff,” the spokesman said.
