Harbaugh told the Ann Arbor (Mich.) News, “I would use myself as an example. I came in there, wanted to be a history major, and I was told early on in my freshman year that I shouldn’t be, that it takes too much time, too much reading, that I shouldn’t be a history major and play football.”

Dennis Norfleet, who was kicked off the UM football team prior to his senior year, discovered when trying to figure out where to transfer that despite being in school 3 years and accruing a good GPA, that he hadn't come remotely close to being in the neighborhood of actually getting a degree because the school just dumped him into whatever classes they felt like.
