Great way to learn from someone else’s unfortunate situation.

Much more constructive than tearing someone else down and not realizing that in this day and age Catfishing can happen to anyone. Sports Figures are Prime targets!!

Wow so we know scoregasmic probably wouldn’t have passed this test. I’m sure the players were upset and embarrassed and hopefully learned the valuable lesson the coaches were hoping to teach. It’s better they learn this way than to all go the way of the redskins or Manti Two and become the victim of a real scam. If they don’t learn from this well there’s really no helping them then.

I’m not sure why people are applauding UofM for this….that’s really creepy. If I was a player I’d be pretty mad

This kind of forward thinking is what great coaches are made of.

“Because some of them didn’t use their heads when communicating back and forth with that young lady.”

Yes they did, Coach. But it was the ‘little head’ doing the talking, not the big one.

I think it’s a different story. I’ll bet the guys who responded weren’t looking for love…just sex.

I think the athletic department misunderstood. I think they misunderstood Hoke when he said he “Wanted some catfish,” and instead heard that he “Wanted to catfish. I would give them a pass in that one little word can change the entire meaning of that sentence, but I’m fairly sure “deep fried” and “with a basket of onion rings” sandwiched “catfish” in that sentence. So not a lot of room for error. No excuses.

This is great. More college and pro teams should do this.

That’s pretty much genius by the coaching staff.
