I lost a lot of respect for Herbstreit in that deal too. As a OSU alum he didn't want Les at Michigan competing with OSU year in and year out. He used his position to try to help out his alma mater.

I understand WHY he did it, I just think it was shitty ethically. He wouldn't have asked Jim Tressel or Urban Meyer (or any OSU coach) the same questions at the same time frame (immediately before the game, when it was guaranteed to be a distraction to the LSU team and therefor FORCING Les to deal with it with his players ahead of game time).
