Event Spotlight: 2014 Parents' Weekend
featuring guest speaker John U. Bacon
By BRAD WHIPPLE
WeekendRoundupEditor
This Saturday, 100,000-plus
people will file into the Big House
for a college football tradition
like none other.
Some will be students,
others alumni and 25 percent
will not have even attended
the University. But according
to John U. Bacon, a renowned
sports journalist and a University
lecturer, it won't matter what
background you come from. If
you put your hand in the air and
say, "Hail,"you'rewelcome.
These are traditions that
define college football programs,
each with rich cultures and
histories surrounding them for
future generations to discover
andbecome apartof. Thatiswhy
the preservation of the sport's
integrity is now more important
than ever.
1 Friday at 4 p.m., Bacon will,
address his concerns about the
future of college football in his
event "The Fight for the Soul of
College Football: Who's Winning
and Why it Matters."
The event is a University

histories. According to Bacon,
NFL teams "have no cultures,
and players go to the highest
bidder rather than a senior in
high school who chooses the
school they love.
Another example is how the
Wisconsin Badgers' current
football stadium, Camp Randall
Stadium, was a Union Army
training camp during the Civil
War. Meanwhile, the Detroit
Lions have changed stadiums
three times in the last 76 years,
so their field lacks sentimental
value.
One of Bacon's main
talking points this Friday'
will be his distress over the
commercialization of college
football.
- "The biggest scandal is
greed," Bacon said. "If there's
anything that's going to bring
it down, it's not going to be a
student athlete and it's not going
to be the fans; it's goingto be the
greed of those who realized how
much money is to be made from
this institution."

entire weekend. Don't worry,
though, because we've planned
your whole weekend for you.

Pretty standard, but you can
probably expect your parents
are going to want to see your

GO OUT TO DINNER
With parents in town, this

meal that isn't necessarily
college student affordable.
Parents may enjoy many of the
restaurants along Main Street
like Gratzi or the Prickly Pear.

Ann Arbor named most
educated city in America
Tuesday, WalletHub.com named
Ann Arbor the most educated city in
the United States.
WalletHub analyzed 150 of
the largest metropolitan cities
across the country, with rankings
determined by two key metrics:
"education level" and "quality of
education."
The number one ranking came
two days after the city earned the
number 13 spot in Livability.com's
Top 100 Best Places to Live.
University awarded grant to
studyalgalblooms
Wednesday, state officials
announced that University
researchers will be awarded a
$653,097 federal grant from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
According to Sen. Carl Levin (D-
Mich.) and Sen. Debbie Stabenow
(D-Mich.), researchers will use
the grant to create tools that will
predict water quality and harmful
algal blooms in the Great Lakes.
Domestic violence crackdown in
National Football League
On Sept. 8, video footage was
released of . Baltimore Ravens
running back Ray Rice knocking
out his then-fianc in a domestic
violence incident, which led to his
indefinite suspension by NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Back in July, the NFL suspend-
ed Rice for the first two games of
the season. But with the new evi-
dence, Goodell enforced a harsher
punishment and Rice, represented
by the NFL Player's Association,
appealed the decision Tuesday.
On top of the Rice incident,
Minnesota Vikings running back
Adrian Peterson was indicted on
charges of beating his 4-year-old
son with a tree branch. Peterson
was benched Sunday against the
New England Patriots, but rein-
stated Monday. After the Vikings'
decision was met with criticism of
being insensitive to child abuse, the
team banned Peterson from all team
activities on Wednesday morning.
Wednesday night, Arizona
Cardinals deactivated their backup
running back Jonathan Dwyer,
after he was arrested for domes-
tic abuse allegations. A report filed
to .the Phoenix Police Department
last week cited consecutive days in
July when the incidents occurred.
Police said the alleged victims
include a 27-year-old female and an
18-month-old child.
Scotland to vote on separation
from United Kingdom
Thursday, Scotland could
become the 31st country to be
formed since World War II.
The Scottish National Party is
staging a referendum on whether
or not Scotland should become
independent from the United King-
dom, which would end a 300-year
history of unification. Eligible
voters include Scottish residents
aged 16 and older.
The issue has stirred mass
controversy on both sides of the
debate. Alex Salmond, first minis-
ter of Scotland, said it is time for the
country to be free from the "shack-
les" of the London-based U.K. Par-
liament, but British Prime Minister
David Cameron, in his final visit to
Scotland, pleaded against the initia-
tive, saying the separation would be
a "painful divorce."
Voting results will likely be
released on Friday, September 19th.
