Quote of the Day

As a healthcare professional, I'm bound by my state license. If I were to lie or if I were to be non-transparent and not tell the truth to what has been asked of me every single day, then I can lose my license, and I'm not going to lose my license over a football game or over gamesmanship over another school.
-- Univ. of Michigan Senior Associate AD and Chief Health & Welfare Officer Darryl Conway, on UM using COVID-19 as an excuse to cancel their game against Ohio State and keep them out of the Big Ten Championship game.
