University of Michigan Basketball Scandal - Expiration of Disassociation

Expiration of Disassociation

The disassociations with Chris Webber, Maurice Taylor and Louis Bullock ended on May 8, 2013. Michigan athletic director David Brandon has stated that he welcomes the opportunity to reassociate with the players: "I've never met any of those guys, and I am looking forward to meeting them,...If any of those guys are interested in meeting with me, that would be great." Both Bullock and Taylor immediately stated that they look forward to their re-affiliation with the university. At the stroke of midnight when the disassociation ended, Webber tweeted "OK!!!"

There were many vocal opinions on what should happen following the end of the disassociation. Bleacher Report stated that the University should retire Webber's Jersey. When asked whether the National finalist banners would ever be rehung, Michigan President Sue Coleman said not during her tenure, but she noted that "Some day, I won't be president anymore, and maybe someone else will have a different view".
