Michigan Football Coach Punishes Player For Drunk Driving By Forcing Him To Live With His Grandmother

Michigan football player Graham Glasgow had few appealing options after getting arrested for drunk driving. His previous college football coach, Brady Hoke, might have kicked him off the team, but new Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh had a better plan to address Glasgow’s unacceptable behavior: force him to live with his 81-year old-grandmother Carmella, The Detroit News reports.

On March 15, 2014, Glasgow was arrested for drunken driving, and he later violated probation by failing a drug test a year later to the date of his initial arrest that revealed he had been drinking.

There was a new coaching regime in town and Glasgow knew that meant the punishment was going to be different. (RELATED: College Football Player Charged For Illegally Filming, Distributing Amateur Pornos)

Harbaugh eventually decided that Glasgow would need to live with his 81-year-old grandmother in order to stay clean, and it turned out to be an amazing decision. Glasgow, who has stayed out of trouble since the move has been made, told The Detroit News that, “It’s good for her and good for me to have someone cook for me and wash my stuff and watch after me in some ways.”

“She gets to cruise the streets, walk around and do whatever she wants. But she’s the nosiest person I’ve ever known,” he continued. “She has to know everything. She’ll say, ‘You’re back a little later, why is that? Were you being smart, Graham?’ Oh, Grandma.”

Carmella also enjoys the arraignment, and she forces Glasgow to watch her shows, including “Dancing with the Stars.” She also feels this is a mutually beneficial situation for everybody involved saying, “I’m an 81-year-old co-ed. I’m the only old lady on the elevator in the building. But this is a win-win for everybody. You know what I’m getting out of this? I see a lot of kids trying to find their way. They don’t know how they fit in yet. These are kids and, really, do we all know how we fit in yet?”

The extra guidance has got Glasgow refocused on the season for the 18th-ranked Michigan Wolverines. Glasgow will graduate on time with a degree in economics, and has focused on becoming a locker room leader. He also holds absolutely no ill will toward Harbaugh for forcing him into a non-traditional college living situation, and that he’s “very grateful” that Harbaugh is the coach.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
