Brian Kelly has to be the single least likable man left in College Football. Throwing a temper tantrum after you got outcoached for the 3rd year in a row is childish.

Today is the first day of classes at Michigan & they are at 88 scholarship players, above the NCAA limit of 85.
This means that yet again Jim Harbaugh will be taking away scholarships from kids at the last minute, when they have no other options. An annual tradition.
