## Resource

Whittingham denies allegations he overruled medical staff to push injured players back onto the field, calling the claims “outrageous” and insisting doctors always have final say — but former Utah player Van Fillinger says he was threatened with being kicked off the team for playing with a broken tibia. Meanwhile, Whittingham’s current Michigan squad is reportedly healthy heading into the season, with only one major long-term injury, as they prepare for their opener against Western Michigan.
