Playing football and basketball at Dakota, Kwiatkowski finally made the Cougars' varsity squad his junior year, but opted to focus his efforts on the basketball court instead. Having to sit back and watch his former …

Obama says colleges must be held accountable for increased tuition.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect that Mark Bernstein is a candidate for U of M regent. ANN ARBOR — Following a whirlwind three-day tour across the country, President Obama told students at the University of Michigan on Friday that he will work with Congress and local colleges to keep higher education costs down.

No profane smack talk for Ohio drivers, says the state's bureau of motor vehicles. What do you think of the ban?
Take heart, Michigan fans. Even if the Buckeyes hate you, they won't be able to say it on their license plates. According to a story in the Columbus Dispatch, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles has banned some Ohio drivers from expressing their distaste for the Wolverines in a way that is, well, distasteful. The department bans any language that is "profane, obscene, violent and hateful," according the the story. The Dispatch story says plates that are "among the forbidden: FMICHGN, HATEMI, KILBLU, KLMICH, UMBYTS, UMSUXS and UMH8ER." The ramp-up is already starting for Saturday's game between Michigan and Ohio State in Ann Arbor. Do you agree with Ohio's enforcement of the rules, or do you think it goes too far?
