U-M's Coleman sidesteps football audit questions

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - University of Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman has declined to answer questions following a Board of Regents meeting in which an internal audit of the football program's practice time was on the agenda.

Coleman slipped through a door following the Thursday meeting.

Spokesman Kelly Cunningham said Coleman would not address an ongoing NCAA investigation into whether Michigan's football program exceeded mandated practice limits last year.

Michigan was the only varsity program that didn't provide practice logs to the NCAA, according to the audit. Rodriguez has said he took care of the issue once he became made aware of it.

Regent Andrew Richner says the board was told of the NCAA investigation during the meeting, but did not comment further.
