I remember this day well, I was in Dearborn early in the morning finishing up the last of my required volunteer hours with a campaign for my political science class.
In the campaign office, sports talk radio was playing in the background, I heard the update that stated Michigan president had scheduled a press conference for that afternoon.
In the midst of the Shane Morris incident, and the buy two Coke’s for tickets travesty, all assumed the firing of then Athletic Director Dave Brandon was coming.
But nobody knew who would take over for Brandon.
Michigan president Mark Schlissel had announced that former Steelcase CEO Jim Hackett would take over as Athletic Director on an interim basis, a tag that still holds true today, for now.
