Former University of Michigan President: Put The Fab Five’s Banners Back Up

(By Dan Fogarty, SportsGrid) - In the fall of 2002, as a result of one of the most-publicized booster scandals in college hoops history, Michigan’s basketball program decided to take down banners commemorating their 1992 and 1993 Final Four runs. These runs, of course, were fueled by the Fab Five, whose documentary aired on Sunday night on ESPN.

Well, at least one person was convinced by ESPN’s doc that the Fab Five’s banners should be put back up: James Duderstadt, the president of Michigan from 1988 to 1996.

From Yahoo Sports:

“The players themselves, I don’t think caused us any harm at all,” Duderstadt said of the Fab Five. “I don’t think it was a good idea to pull down the NCAA banners or try to hide the seasons. I view them as a positive part of the University’s history.”
