Zavier Simpson's (Michigan) fishy story

No, the car was the ADs son who is also friends with this kid and a manager of the basketball team. Sounds like he borrowed his friends car and crashed it
So it is an impermissible benefit if a coach buys a player a McDonald's meal, but the AD can provide a player a car?
And officers notice said player stumbling after an accident at 3:00 in the morning but don't bother to do a sobriety test or make him blow. Hmmm...

"When officers recognized him as the point guard for the Wolverines, they asked him why he lied about his name. Simpson told officers he didn’t want to be involved in the crash report.
Officers noticed Simpson stumbling when entering the car as the point guard said he was trying to retrieve proof that it was Evan Manuel’s car, the police report says.
An officer said he did not notice any odor of intoxicant on Simpson’s breath."
So officers knew who he was, knew he lied to them, knew it wasn't his car, saw him stumbling and didn't perform a sobriety test because they didn't smell anything on him?

Remeber when juri got suspended like 6 games for driving the car of his Marshalltown foster family?
Well, they probably are now.
The one with Hawkeye vanity plates, yes.
Probably one of the dumbest suspensions in the history of the NCAA. Right up there with the kid from Indian hills that we had signed that played in a church league where he got paid 600 bucks and they banned him from playing college ball. Then like 2 years later the same thing happened and the Kansas recruit had to pay back 6k and was suspeneded like 3 games.
Disappointing that Howard is probably managing the team just like it was done when he was one of the Fab 5.
I'm too lazy to look it up but didn't several Fab 5 members already come out and blatantly say they were getting paid?Disappointing that Howard is probably managing the team just like it was done when he was one of the Fab 5.

Not a good look for sure....but outside of suspending him, is there information regarding Howard's involvement with the initial situation?
Like, how do we know this isn't something leftover from Beilein's time, or something that's separate from either coach?
A one game suspension is pretty much condoning the behavior and hoping that nothing more came out publicly. But it did.
Voice of experience?It's weird how these things keep cropping up at the same schools.
Also, this is not the typical interaction between a drunk young man who stole a car and a cop. He should consider himself "lucky".
What was his behavior though? Borrowing his friends' care to drive somewhere late at night and getting into an accident? It doesn't appear he was intoxicated. It's probably against NCAA rules to borrow a car owned by the AD, even if it was his friend, but its not really that egregious. If they find out he was intoxicated or something its a different story. A 1 or 2 game suspension seems about right for being out that late and using the bad judgement of lying to the cops. Other than that, this doesn't seem like THAT big a story.
Maybe, Call me cynical but I'd find it hard to believe he only borrowed the car one time.
