In case you missed it, Michigan is launching a full, internal investigation into the excessive practice times and summer workouts the Detroit Free Press uncovered over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez speaks to the media at 11 a.m. today to discuss Western Michigan - and likely the allegations.
MICHIGAN FOOTBALL:
The Detroit Free Press compiles reaction from around the Web about its story alleging NCAA violations at Michigan.\
Putting a name to all of this, former Michigan player Toney Clemons said he'd tell the NCAA exactly what went on if they ask.
Bob Hertzel of the Times-West Virginian spoke to some former West Virginia players and spoke to a WVU athletic department official who expressed doubt the NCAA would be able to prove anything.
Amelia Rayno of the Detroit News writes about the kinship of the Brothers Grady
Both Dennis Dodd at CBSSports.com and myself say the allegations bring more pressure to Rich Rodriguez.
Lost in the shuffle is that Adrian Witty is still waiting on hearing about his eligibility.
OTHER STUFF:
Greg Paulus is also a captain at Syracuse, not just the new starting quarterback.
Phil Mushnick of the New York Post tears into coaches who want the media to avoid the bad stuff and fawn over them for the good.

The DFP uncovered "allegations of violations", reported by players. The Free Press did not, itself, obtain objective evidence of violations. Until they, the University or the NCAA develop actual evidence of violations, I would suggest AnnArbor.com report accurately: allegations are just that. And when they are coming from disgruntled players, who may have any number of motives for making such accusations, the media need to be particularly careful distinguishing between actual violations and allegations of violations.
