Michigan athletic director Bill Martin pushed a student and grabbed the wind breaker of another student during two football games, according to a department of public safety report.
Michigan student Jackie Turner says she told Martin he needed a pass to enter the regents guest area of the press box Sept. 12 during a game against Notre Dame. She said he pushed her shoulder and walked past her.
“Honey, I am the athletic director,” Turner quoted him as saying, according to a university report on the incident.
On Oct. 17, Eastern Michigan student Arif Khan said he told Martin and a female companion they needed passes to enter the area after a game against Delaware State. Khan said Martin grabbed his jacket.
“I am the athletic director, I can go in,” Khan quoted Martin as telling him.”
Wow, sounds like the job has gone to Martin’s head a little. Didn’t realize being Michigan’s A.D. was so glamorous!
