MI ONE-HUNDRED-TWENTY-THREE YEARS OF EDITORIAL FREEDOM Thursday, July 25, 2013 ByZACH HELFAND Daily Sports Editor CHICAGO - One coach is the favorite to win the Leaders Divi- sion, one the favorite in the Leg- ends. One's interview session drew a swarm of reporters, the other's felt almost quaint. For Urban Meyer, hardly any of the questions at the Big Ten Media Days Wednesday were about football. For Brady Hoke, almost all were. The first day of the annual event was largely about Meyer, the Ohio State coach. The Buck- eyes punished four players Mon- day for off-the-field issues. Should "Last year we were 8-5, and that was unacceptable" Meyer have prevented them from ever being involved? Ohio State had reported an alleged recruit- ing violation by Florida, Meyer's former team. Was he behind it? A former player, Aaron Hernandez, was charged with murder. Could Meyer have done more for him? Ohio State was the Big Ten's best team in 2012 and the pre- season favorite in 2013. Meyer fielded 11 questions during his televised press conference. Just one dealt with football. A poll of 26 writers released Monday revealed Ohio State as the unanimous choice to win the Leaders Division. Michigan edged out Nebraska in the poll for the Legends. From Wednesday, each team had 38 days before its started the season. And each must answer different set of questions before the season starts. The question for Ohio State isn't whether it is good enough to win the conference. It's whether it can endure the distractions. The Buckeyes had largely avoided controversy during Mey- er's short tenure. Then Hernan- dez was arrested a month ago. And then recruiting allegations surfaced. And then the four play- ers were disciplined. All of a sud- den, the narrative in Columbus had changed. After his press conference, Meyer went through an untele- vised round of interviews. "I'm so excited to get to train- ing camp because all the sto- rylines are gone, last year's gone, it's time to move forward," he said. "All the other stuff, you just kind of..." He paused. "Just trying to get to training camp." And then there was Hoke, the Michigan coach. At his press con- ference, he fielded 11 questions, just as Meyer did. All but three were about football. In Hoke's first year at this event, he introduced himself to the Big Ten with his folksy fer- godsake-laden opening speech. Michigan was the story of the conference. In his second year, the Wolverines had their own issues to deal with. Redshirt 25-year-old student found dead in N. Ingalls residence.

Sophomore defensive end Frank Clark was arrested for stealing a laptop from a dormitory. How would Hoke respond under pres- sure? "A year ago we were 8-5, and that's unacceptable," Hoke said. "It's unacceptable at Michigan. It's unacceptable for us." This year, Michigan was almost boring. One of the biggest storylines of the day was about Taylor Lewan's diet. Hoke fielded a question about Detroit's bank- ruptcy. The only controversy was / Buy a smoothie and receive one of I greater or equal free.

The Wolverines open camp 12 days from Wednesday, and unlike Ohio State, the only questions are about the football team. They have nearly survived the sum- mer. But Hoke's squad regressed last year. Once again, Hoke said Wednesday the goal is to win a Big Ten championship. Is the young team good enough? The drama for the Wolverines will start with organized prac- tices. It has a brand new interior offensive line, two untested line- backers and questions at tailback. Quarterback Denard Robinson is gone. The schedule is easier this year than last, but is the team bet- ter? "I like how they've handled themselves on the field and off the field so far this summer," Hoke said. "I like how they've represented Michigan in a lot of ways. Me liking them doesn't guarantee us anything." Each coach was given 15 min- utes for the opening press con- ference televised on the Big Ten Network. For 11 minutes, Hoke answered questions about his quarterback; about a child fight- ing cancer; about his recruiting philosophy. "Time for a couple more ques- tions," the moderator said, and Hoke scanned the room. Fifteen seconds passed. Finally, a hand, and Hoke answered a question about an injury. "Time for one last question," the moderator said again and again, each followed by silence. This time, no one volunteered. This year, for this team, the only questions worth asking must be answered on the field. GOVERNMENT Chapter 9 case effects unclear Financial Manager, a University graduate, at center of historical Detroit bankruptcy By WILL GREENBERG Daily StaffReporter After filing for bankruptcy last week, Detroit's future is unclear as it faces court proceedings and diffi- cult decisions in the coming weeks. Thursday, Republican Gov. Rick Snyder's office released a press release announcing the city's Emergency Financial Manager, Kevyn Orr, a University alum, was authorized to file for federal bankruptcy for Detroit. Orr implemented Order No. 13, which ordered the city file for Chapter 9 under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. "The simple fact is Detroit is in a financial crisis," Snyder said in the press release. "The city is insolvent and has been borrowing money to pay its bills for nearly a decade. Bankruptcy is the only feasible option to fix the city's finances and do what is right for the 700,000 people of Detroit."

In the auditorium of the M@ dison Building, a center for entre- preneurship and technology startups within the city, Coleman said she was proud of students who have chosen to use their tal- ents and resources to be in Detroit during a historical time. "You will have experiences here that you wouldn't have in another place because of the situ- ation that the city finds itself in," Coleman said in her speech. "I'm proud of all of you for coming here and trying to make this city bet- ter." Coleman added that students can have a large impact on the city as interns and eventually full time employees and business owners.
