President Schlissel's bar
Talked with somebody who knows certain personnel in the athletic educational support program that schlissel is making it very difficult to recruit students based on a very high academic bar set by the president. Much recruiting has been hampered by the inability to land blue-chip athletes who would like to come here but cannot meet the requirements set by the president. He went on to say that our basketball coach left based on his inability to recruit athletes who inevitably could not make the grades. Something to consider with regard to Harbaugh who, it was said, to have lobbied schlissel several times to get the bar lowered. It opens up the debate regarding athletes who want to come here and compete at a high level to further their athletic careers professionally versus an academic standard placed on individuals who will not be going into... Say scientific research. It seems coaches hands are somewhat tied. I am certainly not advocating for Ohio State or Alabama standards by any means. Harbaugh himself, I would assume after his comments regarding the university years back, has a pretty high bar on his own.

Does this bar have good burgers?
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:14 PM ^
I like bars with burritos. Have you ever tried the burrito at the Tip-A-Few in Grand Haven? Put some of their green sauce on that!
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:23 PM ^
Great burritos, great bar. Been going to GH 25 years and it's a great place in a town full of them.
That said, the Mexican food at Arturo's Tacos there is on another level. So much better than the Tip. But, not a bar, so.....
November 3rd, 2019 at 5:53 AM ^
Arturo's is definitely more authentic than The Tip, but alas, no beer makes it a coin flip.
November 3rd, 2019 at 11:58 AM ^
I love that the Tip stays open later than any other bar on the lake side of 31. Eat dinner, do all your evening drinking, and then finish up at the Tip. That's a great night.
November 2nd, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
Hell yeah!
November 3rd, 2019 at 5:50 AM ^
Had lunch there in Friday. "Home of the Wet One" is one of the best business slogans I have ever seen.
November 2nd, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
What’s the beer selection like?
November 3rd, 2019 at 8:17 AM ^
Schlissel's bar only serves Schlitz beer.
November 2nd, 2019 at 10:34 PM ^
I seriously thought this was another drinking thread. Imagine my disappointment.
November 2nd, 2019 at 10:34 PM ^
Does he serve Craft Beer? I am looking for a great Saison. I would be less hoppy if it weren't so.
November 3rd, 2019 at 12:01 AM ^
Read my mind bro. Thought I was going to hop into a thread about a kick ass man cave with 8 taps.
November 3rd, 2019 at 12:26 AM ^
I honestly hoped this thread was about what Schliss drinks on game days.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
How did we land Dax Hill then?
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:59 PM ^
Dax is a brilliant student. This comment is worthless on all levels.
November 2nd, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
Mitch McGary remains a valid question though. I heard some funny ass stories from people who had classes with him.
November 2nd, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
Mitch threw up in the urinal next to me at the blue lep. He was playing for the Thunder at the time too
November 3rd, 2019 at 3:32 AM ^
Dax Hill had a 4.0 GPA at probably the best public high school in his state.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:11 PM ^
How's his whiskey collection?
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:25 PM ^
You can’t go wrong with some cold Busch Light on tap.
November 3rd, 2019 at 1:43 AM ^
It’s Busch Latte, and it’s shit.
November 3rd, 2019 at 11:49 AM ^
It’s a good beer and I also like woman this way.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
Serious question, don’t hyperventilate, couldn’t an affirmative action policy also apply to prospective student athletes?
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
Every academically elite institution in America save maybe Caltech already does this. Ask anyone who has ever met a Harvard hockey player. It's not race-based, it's skills-based. There's a sliding scale for admissions criteria if you happen to need a left wing or whatever that year.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
So why wouldn’t Michigan play ball with JB if what the OP is saying is true? Not directly expecting an answer but we did accept Demar Dorsey for fuck sake...
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
Dorsey was offered a scholarship but he was never granted admission.
November 2nd, 2019 at 10:07 PM ^
Its widely known that Rich Rod wanted Dorsey and admissions wouldn't let him in. Not a bad call since Lousville and Hawaii also refused to admit him after he went to junior college but anyways....I point this out because, per my comment below, if Michigan's president was actively denying basketball and football recruits admission I'm pretty sure the people on this blog would have heard about it by now. So the OP and Pharaoh of Filth can suck it.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
This isn’t common knowledge? There is usually a standard for athletes; at some schools it is the NCAA minimum (a sliding scale based on GPA and test scores) to qualify. At others, it is somewhere between what an average student would need and the minimum.
And yes, the same is true even in the Ivy League—even in non-revenue sports.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
Do you mean the affirmative action that was outlawed during the bush W Administration? Not certain of your point.
November 2nd, 2019 at 10:14 PM ^
I was under the impression that it was banned for graduate admissions by SCOTUS, but undergrad could carry on. Am I wrong?
November 2nd, 2019 at 10:34 PM ^
If I remember right, affirmative action was banned in 2006 and is part of the Michigan constitution.
November 3rd, 2019 at 1:32 AM ^
Schools can admit people with race as a factor, but not the only consideration. So in theory, if 2 students are identically but one is white and one black, the black student can legally be picked.
Also no quotas. Supreme Court hates quotas. Goals are fine though.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
Misleading thread title. Please rephrase.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:27 PM ^
Was expecting something different.
November 2nd, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
Yeah, I was expecting a bunch of rare bomb ass scotch bottles behind Schlissel in a wet bar in his office.
November 3rd, 2019 at 1:27 PM ^
Well it's been awhile since anyone's stormed the administration building.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:14 PM ^
Is this a new hot spot in Ann Arbor?
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
Rick's today, Rick's tomorrow, Rick's forever.
November 2nd, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
Co-sign this
November 2nd, 2019 at 9:10 PM ^
Get schlisseled at Schlissel's!
November 2nd, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
Harbaugh should open up a bar too.
HarBar.
I will see myself out.
November 2nd, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
I will order one "Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind" shot.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:58 PM ^
Btw, What ever happened to “Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind?”
November 3rd, 2019 at 5:59 AM ^
If you went there often you could be a HarBar Superstar.
November 3rd, 2019 at 8:05 AM ^
Definitely order a pickle from a jar.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
Urban legend
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
That's complete nonsense because if there was a recruit that wanted to come here but couldn't get in, we would have heard about it on mgoblog. Your friend wants to seem more important than he is.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:39 PM ^
You should call in to sports talk radio with this insight.
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
And MgoBlog wants to sound more important than it is
