Brian Kelly is reportedly interviewing today

I figured if either Hofstra or Northeastern had a player that Michigan would be interested in, they would have to make the Colonial Athletic Association All-Conference Team Well, that's where the dream ended. Hofstra did have an all-conference linebacker named Luke Bonus, but he is a senior. No other Hofstra or Northeastern players made the team at LB or DB.The other thought is over-signing recruits in the 2010 class.Michigan has lost some spots to transfers and kids being thrown off the team. They also didn't sign a full class of 25 players last year.The problem is the Big Ten has a rule that only allows teams to sign a maximum of 25 players from each class each year. There is also the NCAA rule that allows teams to pick which class a player belongs to if they enroll early in January.Michigan has three spots left from the 2009 class and are expecting five players to enroll early next month. So the Hofstra and Northeastern Strategy is out the window and we're still not sure about over-signing.

Is there any chance that USC is giving up football this year Oh well, back to the chalk board.

This article is also featured on The BIG HOUSE Blog. CHICAGO(Business Wire)Fitch Ratings has published the inaugural edition of its U.S 'Media &Entertainment Stats Quarterly' report. The report is similar informat to the 'Technology Stats Quarterly' which has been published on arecurring basis by Fitch's U.S Technology team since early 2008. In general, the investment-grade rated Media & Entertainment companies' creditmetrics have remained steady, and liquidity is sufficient to endure the currenteconomic downturn. Non-investment grade rated companies' credit metrics havegenerally weakened and liquidity is a concern in most cases. Most of thesecompanies are dependent on volatile advertising revenues.

As these revenuescontinue to be under pressure, Fitch expects the high degree of operatingleverage and inability to meaningfully reduce fixed costs will cause creditmetrics to continue to deteriorate. Several companies are at risk of breachingcovenant thresholds in 2009. Also, given high debt levels, limited access toexternal capital and low security prices, Fitch anticipates debt exchanges couldbe more prevalent in 2009. The reports, 'Media & Entertainment Stats Quarterly Third Quarter 2008'published Jan. 6, 2009 and 'Technology Stats Quarterly - 3Q08 (Company FinancialTrends and Liquidity Analysis)' published Dec.
