link to article:
http://www.freep.com/article/20100104/SPORTS06/100104078/1319/U-M-picks-Dominos-CEO-as-its-new-athletic-director
a few quotes from article-
1. Brandon, who played for Bo Schembechler, is expected to begin the job in March. He is scheduled to meet with the athletic department’s staff this morning.
2. Brandon, 57, has multiple ties to the university. He was believed to be the leading candidate to be U-M’s next athletic director even before Martin made his announcement.
Although it’s believed that other individuals with more athletic department experience were considered and interviewed, Brandon’s unique qualifications made suited for the modern version of the job.

Ex- Shembechler player, I'm thinking the pressure will really be on Rich Rod to produce next year or he's done. Hopefully this guy will be good for U of M.

They keep saying he played for Bo but I don't remember the guy and they certainly don't produce any stats. I'm guessing he was on the team but never made it to the playing field. That doesn't make him a bad guy or not qualified for the job though.

Blue you're right it's kind of tough to find any real information about his playing career. I did find him on the 1973 roster.

Coincidentally enough Les Miles is also on the U of M roster that year.
