Michigan to release response to NCAA

Michigan will publicly release its response to NCAA allegations of major rules violations against coach Rich Rodriguez next week.

Athletic director David Brandon says there will be "total transparency'' and that any school-imposed sanctions will be revealed in the report, which will be sent to the NCAA on May 24 and made public the following day.

Brandon spoke Monday in Chicago, where he was attending Big Ten meetings this week.

The NCAA said in February that Rodriguez "failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance within the football program.'' It also said he didn't track what his staff was doing or make sure his players were following NCAA rules, particularly those limiting the time spent on practice and football-related activities.
