O/T new PREP Academy Coming to S.E. Michigan - emu steve - 08-25-2022 04:34 PM
A first for MI. Will be in conjunction with Madonna. This will be a GAP year prep school (13th year). Will play other prep schools and play JV programs, too. Academically, the student-athletes can earn college credit from Madonna.
This could benefit EMU and other universities. Great place to 'stash' players who may be a year away from D-I sports. Esp. great for international student/athletes who may want a 'transition' year before making the move to FBS.

EDIT: Interesting Madonna has a football program now and it is coached by Herb Haygood.
I assume the prep school will be a feeder for Madonna and maybe some of the best talent can find its way to Ypsilanti.
