Quotes by John U. Bacon  (?)

“Michigan wasn’t broken for over a century. But when it finally cracked, from the inside out, the people who knew its history rose to fix it, and restore the meaning of a simple, timeless saying: This is Michigan.”
John U. Bacon, Endzone: The Rise, Fall, and Return of Michigan Football

“Whenever a college athletic program got itself in trouble with the law - big trouble - the NCAA usually steered clear, sticking to how many minutes a week student-athletes are allowed to stretch, the distance they can travel in a car with an alumnus, and whether they are allowed to put cream cheese or jam on their free breakfast bagel. (They are not).”
John U. Bacon, Fourth and Long: The Fight for the Soul of College Football

“The American playwright and painter Lorraine Hansberry said, “The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.”
John U. Bacon, Overtime: Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines at the Crossroads of College Football
