Schmidt said the NCAA gave an
allotment of funds to Michigan for the
purpose of the varsity cheerleading
team to the toumament. The Athletic
Department,however,decideditwould
send a reduced squad.
"My understanding is that the
money was used elsewhere," Schmidt
said.
Rather than risk the national em-
barrassmentofsendingonly fourteam
members, Schmidt said she decided to
raise the money needed to send the
remainder of the squad.
Through contributions from pri-

vateorganizatons-asweliasmoney
from herself and the team - Schmidt
raised thenecessary travelfunds.After
accruing the money, Schmidt said she
received a phone call from Jeff Long
-who, she said, was calling on behalf
of Jack Weidenbach.
"He said that I was out of line and
that under no circumstances would
more than four cheerleaders travel to
the playoffs," Schmidt said.
Long said he did discuss travel
arrangements with her, but denied tell-
ing her she was out of line.
"Idon'tbelievethatis accurate that
I told her it was inappropriate to make
that request," Long said.
