## Resource

We open talking about the mess with University of Michigan athletics. Then a conversation with Detroit Free Press columnist Shawn Windsor on the drama at U-M, Warde Manuel, the former president and a problematic lawsuit, on U-M basketball, the Pistons and Jalen Duren, the Tigers, and farting through your chest after surgery (20:00). Plus, our best bets for this week's British Open golf tournament (67:00).
