The REAL Reason for Greg Paulus' Departure for Michigan......

"Paulus said a strong graduate program means a lot to him, and Michigan would certainly qualify." (ESPN.com video)

RL writes: "Paulus is a Duke Poli Sci major. IS THIS REALLY ALL ABOUT A BACKDOOR INTO MICHIGAN POLISCI???"

Oh, so Duke Poli Sci is chopped liver, is it?

I think that Paulus ought to have to sit out a year before he starts taking Michigan classes.....

Perhaps he is concerned with academic incest?

No, but Duke football is. Surely, Paulus' utility is a weighted function of playing football and taking grad poli sci courses.

Ahem. Duke beat #1 ranked I-AA school James Madison 31-7 last year. Michigan didn't fare so well when it played #1 ranked I-AA Appalachian State, did it?

If it were Michigan State poli-sci, with its peculiarly strong Straussian influence, this would make a lot more sense.

Many star athletes would slap they mama for the chance to work with a Jerry Weinberger or an Arthur Melzer.
