MICHIGAN FOOTBALL "I wouldn't want to defend those lawsuits." Michigan head coach Jim Har‑ baugh had his own answer to the SEC response, tweeting that college coaches from every program in the country are welcome to attend when the Wolverines host their annual football camp June 14‑17. "Where college coaches are re‑ stricted from working a camp out‑ side a 50‑mile radius of their cam‑ pus, we cordially invite your head coach to be our keynote speaker," Harbaugh's tweet noted. The SEC immediately barred its coaches from attending U‑M's camp, continuing its showdown with Michigan, but with the Big Ten now backing Harbaugh — commissioner Jim Delany took the fight to the SEC when he said that any discussion about satellite camps should also include a look at the SEC practice of over‑signing — the U‑M satellite camps seem secure. SOURCE: U‑M INTERESTED IN ADDITIONAL TRANSFERS M ichigan continues to look for players it can add to its 2015 roster, and the Maize and Blue have ex‑ pressed interest in a trio of graduate transfer options — Notre Dame quar‑ terback Everett Golson, and wide re‑ ceivers Valdez Showers (Florida) and Chris Gallon (Bowling Green) — The Wolverine has learned. Though he never accumulated standout statistics, Golson was one of the most efficient quarterbacks during the 2012 season, leading the Fighting Irish to the national champi‑ onship game opposite Alabama.

For six weeks, Golson looked like one of the best quarterbacks in the country last season, going 6‑0, while completing 135 of 216 at‑ tempts (62.5 percent) for 1,683 yards with 14 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He went head to head with Jameis Winston in a top‑five showdown versus No. 2 Florida State Oct. 18, completing 31 of 52 attempts (59.6 percent) for 313 yards with three touchdowns and two picks. He ap‑ peared to lead ND on an 11‑play, 49‑yard game‑winning touchdown drive as the clock wound down in the final minute, but saw his two‑ yard TD strike called back for a rather dubious pass‑interference call. Golson was never the same after that, unraveling against Arizona State two weeks later, throwing four interceptions and coughing up a fumble — the Sun Devils scored touchdowns on four of the five en‑ suing possessions to paste the Irish 55‑31. The 6‑0, 200‑pounder saw his play‑
