According to invoices from the law firm Lightfoot, Franklin and White released this week as part of an open-records request, Michigan has paid $446,951 in legal fees and other expenses since contracting attorney Gene Marsh and others to handle its internal investigation last September.
Gene Marsh served nine years on the NCAA's infractions committee before joining the firm of Lightfoot, Franklin, and White in 2008. There may be no better person to hire for such an investigation in all the land, save for the NCAA investigating themselves.
