That be one hot seatWolverine fans were quick to gloat about the arrest of Antonio Henton last week. This week, karma once again bites them in the ass.
Michigan athletic director Bill Martin informed members of the media that the school may be penalized for using an ineligible player in the season's first four games.
Freshman safety Artis Chambers, used primarily on special teams, was cleared by the NCAA to play, but he hadn't been cleared by the Big Ten's slightly stricter standards. Because it's a conference eligibility issue, Michigan is potentially only facing discipline for the Penn State victory - which could be flipped to a defeat for the Wolverines depending on how the Big Ten rules on the issue.
Ever grumpy Lloyd Carr had this to say when asked about it after the Wolverines' victory over Northwestern Saturday:
"I'm not going to get into that, other than to say it's a real disappointment. That's all."

As much as I hate Michigan, I have to ask... What has this Artis Chambers actually contributed to any of their wins? He's a freshman "used primarily on special teams." Big deal. I'm kind of going for Michigan to be undefeated in the Big10 when we play them in November. It will be more satisfying when we ruin it for them again.
It's a slippery slope to "he just blocked for us on 3rd downs"..
