ESPN Classic
ESPN Classic always shows NCAA basketball games, but NEVER have I seen the Fab 5 Michigan team have games on ESPN Classic. With all the hype they had surrounding them during their days, Im sure they must have had classic-worthy games.

I saw a Fab 5 game on like a week ago. They lost to Indiana at the buzzer on an Alan Henderson blocked shot. Only the NCAA acts like those games never happened. Not a single Fab 5 banner hanging from Chrysler Arena in Ann Arbor. All thanks to Ed Martin keeping Chris Webber's pockets fat.
Jerry Reinsdorf; the undisputed king of allowing his GM's to run amok with unchecked power and ego.

Webber never broke any rules -- give me a break. Martin gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to every inner city youth in Detroit. When Webber made a partial repayment of $38,000 to Martin, it was just like all the $38,000 repayments from other inner city youth. Of course, Webber was paid over $250,000 by Martin, a known Michigan booster.
Martin admitted to paying over $600,000 to four Michigan players.
Why would anyone think this would be a problem for the University?
(BTW - It is right that the payments were made to Webber before he chose to go to Michigan - influencing the decision to get someone to go to Michigan is kind of the point, though. It would be more interesting to see how many kids Martin paid $200,000+ who went to Duke, UCLA or somewhere else and how many of those kids he continued to pay after they made their college choice.)
