Michigan defensive tackle James McKinney might be transferring to Louisville, according to insidetheville.com, a site affiliated with scout.com. McKinney attended Louisville's public scrimmage Saturday night, and the Web site quoted him as saying he was transferring. Asked at Big Ten media days about McKinney, U-M coach Lloyd Carr said the player was dealing with an unspecified medical condition and his return to the team was unclear.

Go...and we will never hear from him again!

August 13, 2007  12:31 PM ET

He's getting off the boat before it sinks!!!

August 13, 2007  03:21 PM ET

He heard Jim Harbaugh's comments and realized that Louisville was the Stanford of Kentucky.

wow....Leaving the greatest collage football program ever to one that is not as decorated.....not a smart move

August 13, 2007  07:10 PM ET

His medical condition is that he's sick of losin to S.C.

Michigan, greatest college football program ever? I think not.

August 13, 2007  09:57 PM ET

They won the most games, however I don't think they are the greatest college football program ever.

GO BLUE...Michigan is the Stanford of MICHIGAN :)

Michigan is the community college of Michigan!!

If michigan has won the most games ever it's because they've played the game longer than the other schools.

And DetroitFan is right, they ARE NOT the greatest football program ever!!
I don't think any program is entitled to that!!
No matter how many games they won, or how many NT they have. There are a lot of GREAT teams out there, but NOT THE GREATEST !!!!!!!!!

With academic jokes such as OSU and MSU in the area, Michigan (along with Notre Dame) are definitely the top midwest schools at combining academic and athletic excellence.

He may leave. Sexton we all know you are a State fan so you're idiotic comments will be ignored.

sexton **** in south bend so one your but buddy can do you roosterfish.

michigan's the best football school ever, bar none. they've easily been the most consistent program and the question isn't if they will win a national championship it's always when they will

His medical condition is related to his momentary insanity on why he came to play for a clueless incompetent buffoon. Michigan's program has catastrophically suffered under Lloyd's "High School remedial football logic 101". Can't beat the Luckeyes, can't beat USC (or any other Pac-10 school) for that matter, can't win the Rose Bowl, always loses at least one game a season to one of the Big 10 cellar dwellars, etc.

I wouldn't want to get bull-whipped by Oregon and USC either.

August 17, 2007  06:30 PM ET

Just cause some guy wants to transfer doesn't mean how good a football program has been the last few years. I dont get what point you guys are trying to make.

August 21, 2007  09:57 PM ET

Is Michigan the powerhouse it used to be? Give the guy a break. He wants to play on a team that is changing its tradition. Louisville has a team now that can contend. Michigan used to have the team.

August 28, 2007  06:46 AM ET

McKinney just wants to join a team that can win a bowl game, and why not do it with a top-10 team located in his hometown? I have to give Michigan credit for consistency (as in consistently losing to SC, the Buckeyes, going to bowls only to lose, gameplanning terribly against scrambling QBs, etc.), but Louisville looks like a team that's sailing a smoother ship than the Wolverines. He may be looking at the NFL Draft too; Amobi Okoye went 10th overall while Alan Branch, the hoss that he was, had to wait a couple of hours later until he got a call.

Just speculation...but it feels factual.

It appears that Louisville is the up and coming program.........why wouldn't you want to go to a team on the rise.
