Michigan DL says he was pressured to retire

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/report--michigan-dl-says-he-was-pressured-to-retire-174840628.html

A Michigan defensive lineman planning a transfer said he has been badgered by Michigan's coaching staff to sign a medical scholarship.

According to ESPN, Ondre Pipkins said coach Jim Harbaugh and members of the school's training staff asked him to quit football approximately 10 times over a two-month timeframe....

He said that he wanted to keep playing in 2015 and feels healthy but that Harbaugh recommended he sign the form. Pipkins also said he suffered a concussion during spring practice, his second with the team, though he's been cleared....

Pipkins also said that there's another player on Michigan's team that has been told to be healthy by July 1 or stop playing football.


I see Hairball's off to a flying start.
