Bill Martin Likes Sailing More Than He Likes Les Miles
Published 12/5/2007 by Joey at Straight Bangin'
If you look closely, you can see Michigan football going overboard. The Detroit Free Press and Ann Arbor News both confirm what I thought was the case when I emailed Mary Sue Coleman and the University of Michigan Regents on Monday: Bill Martin was off in Florida sailing last Saturday and could not be reached or would not return phone calls when Les Miles's agent and several actors on behalf of the University tried to reach him.

... could find AD Bill Martin. One source said that Martin had set sail for Florida last weekend, enjoying a boat show at a Key Largo yacht club. But efforts to contact the UM AD netted nothing. So, was it absent-mindedness on Martin's part for fleeing the scene when Les came a-looking? Or did Bill bolt on purpose, believing that Miles wasn't the right match? Jim Carty of the ANN ARBOR NEWS notes that Miles' agent George Bass tried to contact Martin on his cell phone twice, and never got a call back . And when the media tried to get a hold of Martin on Tuesday, they got the ...
