There are also reports that five Scarlet Knights have been suspended for the first half of their game against Norfolk State. This story is developing.

"Speaking of bad ideas, in the throes of Big Ten divisional realignment, Dave Brandon proposed that the Ohio State/Michigan game be occasionally moved to October, or in some cases, not played at all. He also proposed that Ohio State and Michigan be in different Big Ten divisions."

Thank goodness Dave Brandon is no longer Michigan's athletic director.

Michigan tight end Jake Butt is the only Wolverine to land on ESPN's 2015 All-Big Ten preseason team, which was released on Monday morning. On an offense full of question marks, Butt is the one sure commodity that the Wolverines have, and, with Jim Harbaugh's penchant for developing tight ends and targeting them in his offense, Butt seems primed to have an outstanding season.

No other Michigan players made the team, and it's hard to disagree with that decision. Michigan has lots of solid defenders, but none that stand out as the best at their position in the Big Ten. My best bet as to a Wolverine not named Butt that will crack the All-Big Ten team at season's end is Jourdan Lewis, but I understand why he's not on the preseason team.

Ohio State led the way with eight selections, while Michigan State had four players make the team.

This week's column for the Detroit Free Press takes a look at what looks to be a busy week on the recruiting trail with decisions from Ahmir Mitchell and Naseir Upshur looming.

There have been some rumors in the past few days that 2016 Michigan running back commit Matt Falcon (Southfield, MI/Southfield HS) had suffered an injury. On Sunday night, the STATE CHAMPS! High School Sports Show reported that Falcon is "likely out for the season with a knee injury." This is the third knee injury that will force him to miss a large chunk of his high-school career. An ACL injury sidelined him for his entire sophomore season, and he missed half of his junior season after an MCL sprain. It's been a tough road for Falcon, and now it will get only tougher. Hopefully, he will be able to recover to full strength before he arrives in Ann Arbor next season.

Falcon is a four-star recruit and the No. 8 running back in the 2016 class according to 247Sports Composite Rankings

Class of 2016 wide receiver Ahmir Mitchell (Egg Harbor City, New Jersey will make his college decision between Michigan and Ohio State on Aug. 27, according to his Twitter account.

Mitchell is a four-star prospect and the 6th-ranked athlete in the class, per the 247 Composite. The Wolverines are the favorite here where we stand today.

Four-star 2016 quarterback commit Brandon Peters had a nice season debut on Friday for Avon HS in a win over Plainfield. He went 14 for 19 with 234 yards and five touchdowns.

Peters posted his highlights from week one on his Twitter account, which can be viewed above.

What a caption. And is being the center of attention at a Vegas bachelor party actually a step up from just spitting game to Kate Upton?

Really interesting stuff here: Bill Connelly charts the Opportunity Rate (number of runs of five or more yards) and Highlight Yards per Opportunity (yards not credited to the offensive line on those runs) of all runners with 75 or more carries in 2014, and Michigan's Derrick Green pops up as the second player on his "All-Or-Nothing" list of players with 7.5 or more Highlight Yards per Opportunity, but who turned fewer than 35 percent of their carries into gains of 5.0+ yards.

Basically, that means that Green, who ran roughshod against Appalachian State, Miami of Ohio, and Rutgers, busted really big plays when he busted big plays, but didn't do so very often as a percentage of his total carries.

Four-star 2016 tight end Naseir Upshur (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) will make his college decision on Sept. 1 between Michigan and Florida State, per his Twitter account.

Things are trending the way of the Seminoles following a recent visit. We will see what happens soon.
