Michigan Radio sports commentator John U. Bacon joins Morning Edition host Doug Tribou to talk about some of the top stories in the world of sports.
In this conversation:
- The Pistons came out on top in the 2021 NBA Draft Lottery. John looks back at how it worked out in 1970, the last time Detroit had the league's top pick.
- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously against the NCAA on the issue of education-related benefits for athletes. John explains the possible effects of the decision.
Also, John discusses his new article about Dr. Robert Anderson's serial sexual abuse of patients at the University of Michigan and what former Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler knew about it.
