Slam-dunked
The University of Michigan came down with a heavy hand on its athletic department. The harsh punishment is a sad reminder of the embarrassment that comes when universities allow games to get out of hand. U-M announced Thursday it would forfeit all mens basketball victories accumulated during the 1992-1993 season and from fall 1995 to spring 1999, return $450,000 to the NCAA for money earned by tournament appearances during those years, remove related championship banners from Crisler Arena and disqualify itself from the 2003 postseason.
