I'm More than a Pizza Man

Former Michigan football player and university regent, David Brandon has been announced as the new Athletic Director to replace Bill Martin. Brandon will be leaving his current post as CEO of Domino's Pizza to take this opportunity. On a side note, who knew Dominos was even still around?? Can't remember the last time I heard of anyone ordering a pizza from there.

Brandon quickly countered the question that everyone is surely asking themselves, how the heck is a pizza CEO qualified for this job?

Brandon was quoted as saying "I'm more than a pizza man...although I have not lived a career in athletics specifically as others may have, I believe I bring a unique set of qualifications, interests and experiences to this job."

I am really questioning this move by Michigan, not sure how someone goes from operating a pizza franchise to Athletic Director at the University of Michigan. The only qualification seems to be that he played under Bo Schembechler.

Brandon will be quickly thrown into the fire with a floundering football program and a gimmicky basketball program that needs to prove last year wasn't a fluke. If both programs do not begin to turn around after next year, two coaches may be on the chopping block.
