Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.

Ugh. First they should develop some academic departments that actually attract students from outside of Mid-Michigan.
ReplyDeleteWhat type of athletes are they going to recruit? If they have a basketball team it better be REALLY, REALLY good in order to compete for fans with the high schools.
A football program would be a huge waste. Not only a drain on funds, but really who is gonna wanna go see UMF get throttled by the likes of Olivet, Alma, Adrian, and Albion?
Ice hockey could be a possibility due to the fact that there are fewer teams, however the Flint area is competitively the weakest region in the state. Couple that with all of the junior A, B, and C teams and maybe there ain't such a large pool of talent after all.
Wrestling? Baseball? How about archery? UMF Arrows anyone?
