THIS IS MICHIGAN
“[Here at Michigan] Olympians coach me. Nobel Prize winners
lecture me. I eat lunch with All-Americans. In the athletic
training room, I sit next to Big Ten champions.
I meet with prize-winning authors during
their office hours. I take class notes
next to American record holders. I
walk to class with members of
national championship teams. I open
doors once opened by Oscar-winning
actors, former Presidents and
astronauts ... it’s all in the day of
a Michigan student-athlete.”
Shelley Johnson
Former Michigan Field Hockey Player
In January 2008, Forbes.com rated
the University of Michigan No. 1
on it's list of "Champion
Factories." Examining the current
rosters at that time in the NFL,
NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball
and Major League Soccer, 68
professional athletes competed
collegiately at Michigan. Among
the U-M alumni were 21 hockey
players, including Dallas Stars
goaltender Marty Turco; three
baseball players, three basketball
players, including Dallas Mavericks
forward Juwan Howard; and
41 football players, including New England
QB Tom Brady.

EXCELLENCE
Michigan athletic teams have claimed
52 national championships in 12 sports
over the years, beginning with football's 1901 national title. Since then,
Wolverine dynasties have developed in
football, men's swimming and diving
and ice hockey. In fact, no other NCAA
Division I program boasts more national titles in hockey or men's swimming
and diving. In 2005, Michigan softball
captured the nation's attention winning its first Women's College World
Series, becoming the first school east
of the Mississippi to do so.
Michigan student-athletes have
accumulated 278 NCAA titles dating
back to 1922. Since 2000, Wolverines
have combined for 37 national titles in
men's and women's swimming and
diving, men's and women's track and
field, men's and women's gymnastics,
rowing and wrestling.
Michigan's 2007-08 NCAA Champions:
Emily Brunneman (1,650-yard freestyle);
Alex Vanderkaay (400-yard individual medley), Tiffany Ofili (indoor 60-meter hurdles
and outdoor 100-meter hurdles); and

PUBLIC POLICY The $32
million, 85,000-square
foot building opened
its doors in August
2006. It is positioned
at the corner of State
and Hill Streets as a
symbolic gateway to
Central Campus.
Mary Sue Coleman is in her seventh year as
the 13th president of the University of
Michigan. As president, she has unveiled
several major initiatives that will have an
impact on future generations of students,
the intellectual life of the campus, and
society at large. These initiatives include the
interdisciplinary richness of the U-M, student
residential life, ethics in our society, and
issues related to health care.
Under her leadership, the University
launched “The Michigan Difference” campaign
for the future of the institution, which surpassed its goal of $2.5 billion in May 2007. The
campaign continues through to its December
2008 deadline, with an emphasis on scholarships and fellowships for students, endowed
chairs for faculty and other unmet needs.
Dr. Coleman also has announced a
groundbreaking partnership between the
University and Google, which will enable the
public to search the text of the University’s
seven million-volume library and will open the
way to universal access and the preservation of
recorded human knowledge.
President Coleman is regarded as a national spokesperson on the
educational value of diverse perspectives in the classroom. Her extensive
leadership in higher education includes having served on the Association of
American Universities Executive Committee, the Internet2 Board of
Directors, the National Collegiate Athletic Association Board of Directors
and the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. Elected to the
Institute of Medicine in 1997, President Coleman also is a Fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences.
For 19 years she was a member of the University of Kentucky’s
biochemistry faculty. Her work led to administrative appointments at the
University of North Carolina and the University of New Mexico, where she
served as provost and vice president for academic affairs. From 1995-2002,
Dr. Coleman was president of the University of Iowa.
At the University, she holds appointments of professor of biological chemistry in the Medical School and professor of chemistry in the College of
Literature, Science, and the Arts. She earned her undergraduate degree in
chemistry from Grinnell College and her doctorate in
biochemistry from the University of North Carolina.
President Coleman and her husband, Dr.
Kenneth Coleman, a political scientist specializing
in Latin America, live in the historic President’s
House on campus. Their son, Jonathan, is a portfolio manager in Denver, Colo.
The HORACE H. RACKHAM BUILDING was
dedicated in 1938 to house the graduateschool administration and serve as a focal point
for graduate activities on campus. It continues
to serve that purpose today, as well as
hosting musical performances, lectures and
commencement ceremonies.
The BURTON MEMORIAL
TOWER was completed
in 1936 and was named
in memory of
University President
M.L. Burton. It features
the fourth heaviest
carillon in the world.

The Stephen M. Ross Academic Center
opened its doors in December 2005.
The $12 million, 38,000 square foot
facility, located on State Street
between Yost Ice Arena and the
Marie Hartwig Building, provides
computer labs, tutorial meeting rooms,
assembly areas for group projects, and
offices for instructional staff.
ACADEMIC SUCCESS PROGRAM (ASP) Michigan
possesses the best of both the athletic and
academic worlds, with a nationally recognized
and comprehensive academic support system.
ASP offers a comprehensive tutorial program,
individual and group study sessions, academic
performance and degree progression
monitoring, programs for student-athletes
with disabilities, and testing and evaluation
of developmental needs.
WEIGHT TRAINING & CONDITIONING Michigan
is unique among universities in that its program maximizes the student-athletes' time as
well as their results. Individualized programs
determine proper training and nutritional
needs for peak performances. Facilities are
located in Crisler Arena, Canham Natatorium,
Schembechler Hall and Yost Ice Arena.
ATHLETIC MEDICINE Michigan's staff, among
the nation's largest and most comprehensive,
is dedicated to the prevention, treatment and
rehabilitation of injuries sustained by U-M varsity athletes. The staff is comprised of 13 certified athletic trainers, 40 student trainers, a
nutritionist, counselors and five team physicians. The esteemed University of Michigan
Hospital system provides the most advanced
medical diagnostic testing and treatment
resources available. U-M has nine satellite athletic training rooms, including two full-service
facilities in Canham Natatorium and
Schembechler Hall.

MOCK ROCK has become an annual fundraiser
for Michigan student-athletes, first endowing
the Jeff Reese Scholarship and now supporting
U-M's Mott Children's Hospital. In 2008, Mock
Rock raised nearly $40,000.
THE
MICHIGAN
EXPERIENCE
“I believe you have to do your part
to make a difference, because that is
what life is all about. [Giving back to
the community] is more important
than what we do going to the rink
everyday. I will not be a hockey player forever.
“What will matter is the kind of
person you are. The stuff off the ice
and the friendships I made, that is
the ultimate satisfaction I take away
from Michigan.”
Bob Gassoff Michigan Hockey, 1998-2001
MICHIGAN'S RACHAEL TOWNSEND
COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD
The Michigan field hockey, football, men's soccer,
volleyball, water polo and wrestling teams were all
recognized with the 2008 Rachael Townsend Community
Service Award. The award, given to the team that
participates in the most community service events, is
named in memory of Rachael Geisthardt-Townsend, a
four-year letterwinner as a goalkeeper for the U-M field
hockey team from 1992-95.
Michigan student-athletes impact the
Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County
communities through various service
programs, including weekly visits to
the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.
Habitat for Humanity, U-Meet the
Athlete and elementary school reading programs are also favorites of
U-M student-athletes.
The men's basketball team has participated in U-Meet
the Athlete each of the last two years.

A COMMITMENT TO
COMPLIANCE
Regulations You Should Know
The NCAA defines a booster as any
individual who:
- Is a member of the institution’s athletics
booster club.
- Has made donations to the athletics department or to an athletics booster organization of that institution;
- Is involved in recruiting prospects or providing benefits (e.g., summer jobs) to enrolled
student-athletes.
- Is involved otherwise in promoting the institution’s athletics program (i.e., buying seasons tickets).
Once you are identified as a booster, you will
retain this identity forever, even if you no
longer contribute or are no longer involved
in the Michigan athletics program.
Q & A: Recruiting Issues Regarding
Michigan’s Athletics Representatives
Q: Can a booster call or write a prospective
student-athlete?
A: No. A booster cannot call, write or e-mail
a prospective student-athlete, their parents
or relatives.
Q: Can a booster contact a prospect or their
parents on of off campus?
A: No. Boosters cannot have any in-person
recruiting contact with a prospect, prospect’s
parents or legal guardians, or relatives on or
off campus at any site.
Q: What do NCAA rules permit a “booster”
to do?
A: Under NCAA rules, “boosters” are
permitted to:
- Attend athletics events involving prospective student-athletes as they normally
would, as long as no recruitment on behalf
of the institution takes place;
- Contact a signed prospect about a summer
job. In such circumstances, the prospect
must be paid the going rate and may not
begin work until he or she has graduated
from high school.
Q: Is it permissible for a booster to provide a
student-athlete with a meal at their home?
A: Yes. On infrequent special occasions (e.g.,
student-athlete’s birthday, Thanksgiving, etc.),
a student-athlete may accept an invitation to
the home of en employee of the University of
Michigan or an athletic booster for a meal.
The meal must take place within 30 miles of
the University of Michigan and the studentathlete may be provided transportation. If you
provide an occasional meal, please contact the
Compliance Services Office or the studentathlete’s coach for prior approval.
Q: Is the University of Michigan responsible
for the acts of boosters and booster support
groups?
A: Yes. Boosters are governed by the same
NCAA and institutional rules and regulations
as those placed upon all institutional athletics
staff members.
X
Q: Is it permissible for a booster to provide
personal gifts (e.g., birthday, graduation or
holiday) or gifts based on his or her athletics
performance to a student-athlete?
A: No. All awards must conform to NCAA
awards legislation and must be approved by
the University of Michigan Athletics
Department.
Q: Is it permissible for a booster to transport,
pay or arrange for the payment of transportation costs incurred by relatives or
friends of a prospective student-athlete to
visit campus?
A: No.
Q: May a student-athlete’s name or picture
be used to directly or indirectly advertise, recommend, or promote the sale or use of a
commercial product or service?
A: No. Such activity would jeopardize the
eligibility of the student-athlete. The NCAA
has maintained that student-athletes not be
involved in the promotion of commercial
products.
Extra Benefits
An extra benefit is any special arrangement by
a University of Michigan employee or booster
to provide a prospect, student-athlete or their
friends and relatives a benefit that is not generally available to other Michigan students
and their relatives and/or friends, or is not
expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples
of prohibited special arrangements or extra
benefits include, but are not limited to:
• Gifts, money or loans.
• Arranging employment for a prospect’s
relatives.
• Providing the use of an automobile or
transportation.
• Providing a ticket to any athletic, institutional
or community event.
• Providing free or reduced-cost room and/or
board.
• Arranging or providing any special discounts,
credits or payment arrangements on any
purchase or service.
Whom to Call with NCAA Questions
It is extremely important for both you and
the University of Michigan that you know
and abide by all NCAA regulations. Please
remember that your actions can inadvertently
have an adverse effect on the eligibility of
our prospective student-athletes, studentathletes and athletics programs. If you have
any questions regarding NCAA rules, please
contact an athletics administrator or the
Compliance Services Office (734/615-7341)
before doing something that may jeopardize
a student-athlete’s eligibility to participate in
intercollegiate athletics.
No one knows the rules like Michigan
boosters know the rules!
