Central Michigan hires McElwain as next head football coach

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Jim McElwain will be the next head football coach at Central Michigan University.

McElwain is the replacement for four-year head coach John Bonamego, who was fired on Nov. 23 after a 1-11 record in the 2018 season.

Sources from the Athletics Department verified McElwain’s hiring. His first press conference will be held on Monday, Dec. 3 at 11 a.m.

“My wife and I relish the opportunity to come to a place with such great tradition and pride,” McElwain said in a CMU Athletics press release. “It was that rich tradition that really drew us to CMU, with legendary coaches like Roy Kramer

and Herb Deromedi and championship teams. We want to continue that tradition and build on it.”

The 56-year-old began to make his mark on college football as the head coach of Colorado State from 2012-14. His time with the Rams came after working as an assistant for Eastern Washington, Montana State, Louisville, Michigan State, Fresno State and Alabama.

McElwain turned Colorado State from a 4-8 team in his first season in 2012 to a 10-3 group with a trip to the Las Vegas Bowl in 2014. He agreed to become the head coach at Florida on Dec. 4, 2014.

With the Gators, McElwain went 10-4 and 9-4 in his first two campaigns, respectively. He was named the 2015 SEC Coach of the Year.

After a 3-4 start to the 2017 season, McElwain was forced out.

On Feb. 20, 2018, he was named

the wide receivers coach for the Wolverines. McElwain has contributed to the development of top pass catchers Donovan Peoples-Jones, Nico Collins and the rehabilitation of Tarik Black, who has suffered two broken feet in two seasons.

“It’s been a great opportunity,” McElwain said in April. “Coach Harbaugh has been a guy, obviously, I’ve followed for a long time. The opportunity to come and learn from him and kind of see how someone else does and puts it together, it’s really been a lot of fun.

“Just getting an opportunity to kind of stand in the background and see how something is operated, that’s what’s been really good here.”

McElwain made a base salary of $300,000 with the Wolverines.

When Bonamego was CMU’s coach, he made $656,000 with bonuses in 2018, according to his contract.

Mission Street, CMU parking lots epicenters for car accidents

By Hunter McLaren Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Mission Street – the long stretch of roadway that is home to a large portion of Mount Pleasant’s businesses – is considered a dangerous traffic area in the city.

Another epicenter for accidents are Central Michigan University parking lots.

A 2017 Michigan State Police report listed the intersection at Broomfield and Mission streets as the 31st most dangerous in the state with 79 crashes.

The second most dangerous intersection in Isabella County, according to the report, was the intersection at High and Mission streets with 41 crashes in 2017.

Mount Pleasant Police Department’s Public Information Officer David VanDyke said the number of crashes at the Mission and Broomfield intersection is at 69 for 2018.

However, a number of these recorded incidents might not have taken place exactly at the intersection.

When traffic incidents are reported they are assigned to the nearest intersection, VanDyke said. So, they could have taken place further up the road.

“When we take an accident on Mission Street by the Chemical Bank, that would count as happening on that intersection,” VanDyke said. “The stretch (on Mission Street) from Preston (Street) all the way to Broomfield (Street) is a confusing area.”

There are several factors that increase the risk of accidents, VanDyke said.

High amounts of traffic, drivers turning left onto Mission Street from parking lots and the pedestrian island on Mission all contribute to the high number of crashes, he said.

Backups on Mission can also lead to good-intentioned drivers creating a gap in traffic and accidentally waving drivers turning

“

I just can’t stress enough that if you can avoid making a left turn, you should try to. Those are the most accidents I’ve come across.”

-David VanDyke, Mount Pleasant Police Department’s Public Information Officer left into traffic accidents, he said.

“I just can’t stress enough that if you can avoid making a left turn, you should try to,” VanDyke said. “Those are the most accidents I’ve come across.”

Running parallel to Mission Street is CMU’s campus and its more than 40 parking lots.

Of the 127 accidents on CMU’s campus this year, 13 of them occurred on Broomfield Street. The other 114 occurred in parking lots, said CMU Police Department Lt. Cameron Wassman.

He said drivers who are in a hurry and aren’t paying attention contribute to the high number of accidents in parking lots.

Wassman said drivers can avoid accidents in campus parking lots by navigating carefully and paying attention.

West Bloomfield senior Jake Iatrou said he wasn’t surprised that Mission Street is one of the most dangerous streets in the state. Iatrou lives in the Appian Way Apartments complex located near the Wendy’s restaurant on Mission Street.

“It’s really rough for me to get out of my apartment complex,” he said. “There’s

never a gap in traffic for me.”

When it comes to CMU parking lots, Iatrou said he believes blind spots and a general lack of awareness both contribute to the high number of accidents.

“Sometimes people just don’t look before they back up and they can hit people,” he said.

Even if damage is minimal or someone claims they are in a hurry, accidents should always be reported to police to ensure that contact information is exchanged correctly and easily, VanDyke said. MPPD will respond to accidents in private parking lots as well as those on city streets.

The license plate number and make, model and color of the other car are the most important details to take down if someone is a victim of a hit and run. While the license plate number is the most important, any other details about the car’s appearance will be helpful, VanDyke said.

You can contact the MMPD office at (989) 7795100 or the CMUPD office at (989) 774-3081.

Communication science and disorders majors discuss high stakes

By Kersten Kruse Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Saline sophomore Lauren Nyitray, who aspires to be a speech language pathologist, isn’t concerned about graduating, being accepted into graduate school or finding a job.

She’s afraid of being rejected from her program.

“You basically have to get an A in all your classes to get accepted into the major,” Nyitray said.

Only second to exercise science majors, the communication science and disorders major is one of the most popular among the College of Health Professions. The total number of CSD graduates in 2017 was 83 students, similar to the number of sport management students.

The major is known for being competitive.

Admission is determined by the cumulative GPA of the first five pre-admission courses.

Even if all the students in these classes receive perfect grades, only about 40 will be accepted each semester.

“About 19 are denied each cycle although many of them may have met the minimum requirements but were not competitive. The mean GPA of each cohort is about 3.79,” said

Kersten Kruse | Staff Reporter Speech-language pathology graduate students use Central Michigan University’s clinic to learn more about swallowing.

Mark Lehman, chairperson for the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders.

Lehman said, “if you look at the numbers, we admit 70 percent of our applicants. That doesn’t seem too bad to me. Because we admit the top 70 percent of our applicants, our graduates are quite successful with getting into graduate programs

in speech-language pathology and audiology.”

The average for the past 12 admission periods has increased to 44 students per semester, according to Lehman.

“I’m not really sure how we arrived at a target number of 40,” he said. “I believe that it was in part due to one of the courses being taught in our instructional lab that has an upper max of 45.”

Students like Nyitray are nervous about being one of the 19 who won’t be admitted, even after their first try.

“I was told that you can only apply to the major two times. If you don’t make it on your second try, you aren’t allowed to sign the major,” Nyitray said. “You have to completely change your major and you’re done.”

That fear can be overwhelming at times, causing students who are passionate about the field to re-think their choice. Lehman acknowledges that students often fear rejection, but encourages them to talk to an adviser or their professors.

Nyitray said she is most concerned about the amount of time and money she will have to spend if she can’t secure a place in the program.

“If I don’t get accepted for the fall of next year, I don’t have another chance until spring semester of my junior year,” she said. “I would be way, way behind on anything. I’d probably have to stay for another two years if I chose something else.”

Nyitray isn’t alone. Hartland sophomore Amanda Ciuzicki said she thinks about being denied entrance to the program every day.

“I don’t know what I’ll do if I don’t get in. Going here was a lot more expensive than community college,” Ciuzicki said. “With the classes I’ve been taking, there’s nothing I can fall back on.

These are very major-specific — I can’t transfer them to anything else, so I’d have to start over.”

Lehman said those who aren’t accepted into the major often switch to a CSD minor. Students can now apply for graduate education in audiology by completing the CSD minor.

“In our program review in 2017, we found that two of the most common minors for CSD majors were psychology and child development. Those

same programs are the most common majors for CSD minors. So it appears that at least some of the time students are simply flipping the major and minor,” he said.

Changes are being made to the CSD program to make it more attractive to students who aren’t interested in traditional aspects of audiology.

These changes are geared toward students interested in audiology technology.

“This is a relatively new change to the minor and we think it could be an attractive option for students who might be attracted to the technology-driven aspects of that profession,” he said.

Lehman said that students would have the ability to major in subjects like biology, physics or other technology-driven programs that prepare them for the use of equipment in the profession.

“The undergraduate major has a somewhat heavy emphasis on speech-language pathology, and not all of the courses are as necessary as preparation for audiology,” Lehman said.

Yet, that leaves many students wondering what their career will look like after being denied from the program of their choice.

“It’s a very anxious topic for me to think about and talk about because as much as I want to do it, there’s a strong possibility that I might not be able to,” Ciuzicki said.

She said the anxiety catches up with her during tests or while studying with friends. When she’s helping other students understand the material, she wonders if their scores will hurt her chances of being admitted.

“In my audiology class I got an 85 percent on an exam. In any other class I would have been like ‘okay, cool, an 85’ but for this class I’m like, ‘Oh my God, an 85.’ There are people who got 90s or 100s on this exam,” she said.

Nyitray said she finds comfort in the groups she is a part of. She recognizes that everyone is competing with each other but said it’s good to have resources available when you need them.

“Usually when you’re confused about something, someone else is confused about the same thing. It’s nice to know that you aren’t alone and the only one who doesn’t know what’s going on,” she said.

Aside from studying, Ciuzicki wants to have a traditional college experience. She said although she wants to become a speech-language pathologist more than anything, she’s hesitant to devote all of her undergraduate career to professional preparation.

“There are a lot of clubs I know I should join but I don’t want this to overcome my college career,” Ciuzicki said. “I want to look back and think that I enjoyed this time and not spent every second of it trying to do this.”

Ciuzicki said that she wishes the college would move from GPA-based admissions to interviewing candidates before admission into the program.

“You tested well, you studied hard, you did well on your assignments, that’s great. But these GPAs don’t define how well you’re going to perform in the job,” she said.

Quinn Kirby | Features Editor Student Government Association Vice President Lyndi Rose speaks during SGA’s second Student Body Town Hall on Nov. 29 in the Sarah and Daniel Opperman Auditorium.

C

entral Michigan University’s Student Government Association serves as the university’s student government and student voice. Elected students discuss student issues and make decisions aimed to better student life on campus.

While SGA is meant to represent the wants and ideals of the student body, a lot of CMU students aren’t aware of SGA or what its role is on campus. Because of that, the association doesn’t have nearly as much support as it could if it more effectively connected with the student body.

Students are unclear about what SGA is and how to get involved.

SGA truly does aim to help students and voice ideas that would benefit them. Recently, they have done good things for students.

At the end of the Spring 2018 semester, SGA passed a “Menstrual Hygiene Product Initiative,” which was meant to provide free menstrual hygiene products in major buildings across campus.

That is a great, progressive idea that ben-

We appreciate and support the positive things you do for campus, but communicating with students is what you need to work on efits students, just like the new student food pantry SGA helped put together. However, not that many CMU students were aware about the initiative, or that a trial run was being held in four campus bathrooms.

SGA serves as a direct link between the student body and CMU’s administration, which includes President Robert Davies.

Although they are the voice of the student of the student body, there seems to be a disconnect. It seems like SGA is a small, exclusive group, that makes a majority of the decisions for students.

SGA hosted a student body dance called the “Golden Gala” on Dec. 1. The event fea-

tured a DJ, a photo wall, a caricaturist, and appetizers were served. The event was open to all students, and about 450 attended.

While wanting to throw a fun event for students is a great idea, where did this idea come from? Was it just SGA’s idea or was the student body the one advocating for it? Did SGA ever ask students if this is something that they want?

With 2,300 followers on Twitter and 2,223 likes on Facebook, the organization utilizes its social media well. But what about the students who don’t follow SGA online? How is SGA getting the word out about initiatives like the Stamp Out Aggression campaign for example?

This is where SGA needs to up their communication with all students — not just the ones involved with the organization.

On Nov. 29, SGA hosted its second annual Student Body Town Hall to invite the students to voice their opinions about SGA, the university and ask a panel of SGA executive board members questions.

About 40 people attended the town hall, and about 100 people watched it on Facebook Live.

While we appreciate the intention of the event, it wasn’t the best way to get the average CMU students’ attention.

If SGA truly wants to hear voices from the

EDITORIAL student community, and have more people involved in the organization, its members should try to make more of an effort to reach out to students and appeal to them.

“SGA has the power to make changes, but that can only come from the students,” SGA Vice President Lyndi Rose said at the town hall. “If you’re passionate about this, help us make the change.”

How can students help a group, or be passionate about something it’s doing, when they aren’t that well informed about it?

SGA, we support you and appreciate the positive things you do for our campus, but effectively communicating with students has always been your weakness. If CMU students see more of what you’re doing and start to understand what you do for them, they’ll want to participate and support you.

While we cover your meetings on a weekly basis, use Central Michigan Life to spread the word. Encourage your members to write guest columns or letters to the editor that we will publish in our print editions and online.

Email your letters or guest columns to opinion@cm-life.com. Connect with us on social media.

While we are the voice of the students, SGA is too. We should work together to reach out to students, so they have no choice but participate in the process to make this campus a better place.

In defense of Greta Van Fleet Out of all the bands to attract hate from today’s rock scene, why is it Greta Van Fleet?

I don’t understand the almost visceral hate they’ve been receiving since their recent rise to prominence, which has only strengthened with the release of their first album, “Anthem of the Peaceful Army.”

But there are artists and bands that are far more damaging to the rock scene, and the hate may only kill a great music career before it even begins.

For anyone who might not know, Greta Van Fleet is a blues-rock band from Frankenmuth, Michigan.

They formed in 2012, having released two EP’s and one full-length record since. That album was released in October of this year, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, according to NBC News.

The band has received attention for mainly three things: being young, being comprised of mostly siblings and for sounding exactly like Led Zeppelin.

This comparison is especially clear with the voice of lead vocalist, Josh Kiszka, sounding exactly like that of Robert Plant, the singer of Led Zeppelin.

If you listen to songs like “Highway Tune” he sounds exactly like them. Instrumentally, it’s clear that the members were inspired by their respective Led Zeppelin members.

Here’s the thing: why does it matter if they sound just like Led Zeppelin? As far as I know, they’re not stealing riffs or melodies from them. Their lead singer just so happens to have a voice matching Plant.

Yes, this makes them far from an original band. But just because one band doesn’t innovate and still becomes popular, doesn’t mean innovation for the

Andrew Mullin Staff Reporter

genre comes to a grinding halt.

Look at artist like Ty Segall and Jack White. They are successful and innovative musicians, despite the success of Greta Van Fleet.

Also, bands like Three Days Grace and Falling in Reverse have done far more damage to the rock scene then Greta Van Fleet ever will. Three Days Grace helped standardize the current boredom surrounding rock radio these days. At least Greta is interesting to listen to.

Just because they sound like another band doesn’t mean they aren’t good musicians.

Even people that don’t like this band will say the musicianship is not the problem. Famed music critic, Anthony Fantano, said in his review of their new album that he thought the musicianship was decent, but their lack of innovation distracted him from the performances.

That’s a

fair point, but if the musicianship is fine and the songwriting is decent, the reasoning behind not liking this band strikes me as superficial. If the band was a poor imitation of Led Zeppelin, that would be one thing. But they’re not.

I’m not alone with my opinion. According to the Detroit Free Press, Robert Plant himself has given Greta Van Fleet his endorsement.

Also, Led Zeppelin were notorious for ripping off riffs and covering songs without giving credit to the original artists, according to Rolling Stone. So sure, Greta Van Fleet is copying their sound. But at least they’re writing their own music.

Here’s the thing: they’re still a new band, with lots of time to grow their sound.

Perhaps a couple albums down the line their sound will be more unique. Famed prog-rock band, Rush, started out as a blues-based rock band like Led Zeppelin. Hell, they were even dubbed the “Canadian Led Zeppelin” based off their early song, “Working Man”, according to Rolling Stone.

I’m not saying Greta Van Fleet will become just as innovative as Rush, but I certainly think swiping away good musicians before they can prove themselves could stifle a great career.

Andrew Mullin hosts a weekly rock music podcast called “Soundcheck” that can be found on Spotify, iTunes and Soundcloud.

Zeeland junior Harmon finds opportunity to lead through ROTC oming out of high school, Zeeland native Madeline Harmon was looking for a way to separate herself from her peers. ROTC was that unique experience that she needed. Harmon learned about the organization during her senior year of high school and won a national ROTC scholarship before coming to Central Michigan University.

ROTC prepares students with leadership opportunities and instills the seven army values into its members: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage.

“ROTC has opened many doors for me and has greatly prepared me for my future career,” Harmon said. “Both as a civilian and an army officer.”

Harmon is now considered an MS3 and is the face of leadership within the program. MS stands for Military Science.

The levels of leadership within ROTC corresponds with their MS rank. Her responsibilities include teaching labs to the other cadets and making sure younger MS1s and MS2s understand the material.

“It’s our major leadership year,” Harmon said. “They throw us into all the leadership positions throughout our battalion and we

do our best.”

A junior in college, Harmon is engaged to her fiancé Aaron. The two have been together for a little more than a year.

“I had not planned on being engaged this early in life,” Harmon said. “Mostly because I didn’t think I would find someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with by this time.”

Harmon’s fiancé was working in Texas for An Army patch is stitched into the arm of a construction and just recently jacket in the home of Madeline Harmon. moved back to Michigan.

WATER BOIL ADVISORY LIFTED ON THURSDAY FOR UNION SQUARE APARTMENTS, TARGET Residents of Union Square Apartments can safety use their water again as the boil advisory issued earlier this week has been lifted.

Union Square Apartments and the Target department store located on East Blue Grass Road were put under a boil water advisory by the Charter Township of Union after a water main break just before 8 a.m. on Nov. 27. According to a Nov. 29 press release by Charter Township of Union, water

quality has been restored and it is no longer necessary to use boiled or bottled water.

Basic recovery measures include flushing pipes, faucets and drinking fountains for at least five minutes before resuming regular use, the press release states. Residents are also advised to discard any ice, coffee or food made with water that might have been contaminated.

CITY: MOUNT PLEASANT WATER SAFE FROM PFAS CONTAMINATION, TESTS CONCLUDE After a month-long testing process beginning Oct. 18, drinking water in the Mount Pleasant area was been declared safe from a contamination of per and polyfluoroalkyl substances — also known as PFAS. According to a Nov. 27 joint press release from the City of Mount Pleasant, Charter Township of Union and Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan, PFAS testing in drinking water sources is being done as part of a statewide initiative spearheaded by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and the private environmental firm AECOM. Chemicals within the PFAS family have been used in the manufacturing process of a variety of products since the 1940s, including the foam used in fire suppression systems and products by Teflon and Scotchgard.

The testing was done on sources of public drinking water. Water sources located on the property of the former Roosevelt

Refinery near the corner of Pickard Street and Crawford Road, which tested positive for PFAS contamination in August 2017, are isolated from local drinking water.

All sites tested by the City of Mount Pleasant and Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe came back with a “non-detect” result.

Of the three sites tested by Charter Township of Union, two came back as “non-detect” and one site came back at 6 part per trillion (ppt).

This level is still below the Environmental Protection Agency’s lifetime health advisory of 70 ppt, and still safe to drink, according to MDEQ’s website.

Based on the 6 ppt test result, Charter Township of Union officials will be working with the MDEQ to conduct follow-up sampling and evaluation, the press release stated.

McLatcher fired from Davenport after story published

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Less than a week ago, Aaron McLatcher’s name could be found in the athletic administration section of Davenport University’s staff directory.

McLatcher’s name no longer appears on the directory following the Nov. 26 release of a Central Michigan Life story, which revealed Central Michigan University Police investigated McLatcher after prescribed Adderall was stolen from baseball players’ lockers.

A Davenport baseball player verified McLatcher was fired by Davenport Athletic Director Paul Lowden.

McLatcher was appointed Davenport’s director of strength and conditioning position in August 2018, just a few months following the beginning of an investigation at CMU. McLatcher was under investigation for stealing prescribed Adder-

all from CMU baseball players out of the Keilitz Clubhouse at Theunissen Stadium in Mount Pleasant, according to police records.

The team survey complaint was reported to CMUPD on May 16, 12 days after the CMU Athletic Department received the response about McLatcher, according to police records.

“Once we heard a credible complaint, we immediately contacted the police, cooperated fully with the investigation and placed Mr. McLatcher on leave,” said CMU Athletic Director Michael Alford.

“It’s something I take very seriously. I care about the treatment of our student athletes.”

CMUPD found that McLatcher took medication from student-athletes from December 2015 to March 2017. The police listed three victims in the report. McLatcher did not respond to a request for comment.

On June 12, the Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office informed CMUPD that it would not authorize charges against McLatcher.

Aaron Jansen is currently serving as Davenport’s interim strength and conditioning coach, as listed by the staff directory.

McLatcher started at CMU as a student volunteer in 2007. He also was employed as a student assistant and graduate assistant before being receiving the assistant director of strength and conditioning positing. As the assistant director of strength and conditioning for CMU, McLatcher oversaw the day-to-day strength and conditioning of the baseball, gymnastics, volleyball and women’s golf programs.

Former Central Michigan pitcher Dazon Cole, who is now in the Los Angeles Angels organization, said former head coach Steve Jaksa had no clue of the theft inside his locker room at Theunissen Stadium.

“From my standpoint, (Jaksa) didn’t know anything,” Cole said.

“When the school got into it for an investigation, that’s when he knew.

If he would’ve heard something, I’m pretty sure he would have talked to (the player) before, but he didn’t.”

Smith used brother’s guidance to recover from 2017 surgery

“

By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Growing up, Andrew and Matty Smith were not just brothers.

They were best friends.

Andrew, 29, used to be a basketball player at Erie Community College and Carthage College in Wisconsin. Being nine years older than his sibling, Andrew said his brother, the Central Michigan guard, was able to watch him play a lot and help him learn more for his own game.

For the past 10 years, the two have trained together every summer. It was something that made the two’s relationship strong.

However, in Summer 2017 between Matty’s freshman and sophomore season, he was physically unable to train with his brother. Matty had knee surgery in May following his first season as a Chippewa.

“It was very important to me to help him grow mentally since he couldn’t train like normal,” Andrew said. “He works harder than anyone, man. I had to keep him in a good place.”

The recovery was not a quick process. Matty wasn’t able to do much until his sophomore season

It was very important to me to help him grow mentally since he couldn’t train like normal. He works harder than anyone, man. I had to keep him in a good place.”

-Andrew Smith, Brother

was nearing a start.

Before the next season started, talks between Matty and head coach Keno Davis began of redshirting him as a sophomore.

“He had some days where he wasn’t sure if basketball was worth

it for him,” Andrew said. “He didn’t know if he would ever be 100 percent again.”

When it was clear he could help the team in games, he was subbed in unexpectedly on Dec. 19 against the University of Missouri-Kansas

City. He played out the remainder of the season.

“When you look back at our 21 wins last year, we don’t get those without Matty Smith,” Davis said. “He gave us depth and experience and when he was out there I was confident because

he had been in our program.”

Matty averaged 7.5 minutes per game in 2017-18 and played in 26 of them. He will do whatever is asked of him in the 2018-19 season.

“If it’s to go in there and play 15 minutes and distribute the ball that’s what I’m going to do, if it’s go in there and score that is what I’m going to do,” Matty said. “I’ve been able to have a full season so I feel better about myself.”

Bunting decides to skip senior season, enter NFL Draft

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Sean Bunting is entering the 2019 NFL Draft and skipping his senior season at Central Michigan.

The junior cornerback announced the news Nov. 29, less than a week after John Bonamego was fired as CMU’s head coach.

Bunting said he was focused on the team throughout the 2018 season and did not make his decision until the conclusion of CMU’s 1-11 season.

“There’s no guarantees for next year,” Bunting said. “Once I was able to let my mind go from the season, I thought about everything else to figure out what was best for me and my situation.”

Scouts are projecting Bunting as a likely second day selection due to his excellent length and next level ball skills.

“Whether I’m rated at the bottom or the top, I have to put my work in,” Bunting said. “I feel like I can do anything. Some places had me ranked at the top. Other places didn’t have me ranked at all. I believe in myself.”

Until CMU’s Pro Day in March, Bunting will train in California while taking online classes to pursue his degree. As long as Bunting stays on track with his plan, he will graduate in December 2019.

“Getting my degree is a big priority,” Bunting added. “You need education to be successful after football.”

As a junior in 2018, Bunting was a First Team All-Mid-American Conference selection on defense. He had five passes defended, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and one blocked kick.

The 6-foot-1, 181-pound member of the secondary posted 104 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, nine interceptions, 15 passes defended, one fumble recovery and four forced fumbles in three full seasons – two starting – at CMU. Bonamego, who coached Bunting for his time as a player at CMU, has not yet reached out to his top cornerback. Bunting expects him to in the near future.

“He’s a father figure in my life and got me here,” Bunting said. “He got me to the position I’m in now. I’m forever grateful for that. I’m sure he will reach out.”

Bunting joined the Chippewas in 2015 from Chippewa Valley High School in Clinton Township. He helped the Big Reds to multiple playoff appearances.

Junior defensive back Sean Bunting listens in on advice from his coach on Oct. 20 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Central Michigan’s most recent studentathlete to be selected in the NFL Draft was tight end Tyler Conklin in 2018. He was taken in the fifth round (157 overall) by the Minnesota Vikings.

Other than Kavon Frazier being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2016, the most recent defensive back from CMU to get picked in the NFL Draft was Jim Bowman by the New England Patriots in 1985.

Frazier has played 35 games for the Cowboys.

During his CMU career, the safety posted 233 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss, five interceptions, one pick-six, 13 passes defended, three fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles.

“I want people to remember me by my character,” Bunting said. “If I’m not a good person, then I’m not a good football player. I wasn’t highly recruited out of high school and everyone knows that by now. I put my head down, grinded for what I wanted and always play with a chip on my shoulder.

“I want people to know anything is possible.

You just have to put in the work.”

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

MEN’S BASKETBALL BLOWN OUT AT TCU, 89-62 TCU scored the first points of the game and wouldn’t relinquish the lead for the rest of night.

The Horned Frogs (5-1) shots were falling and their defense stifled CMU (6-2) during an 89-62 rout over the Chippewas on Friday at Schollmaier Stadium.

CMU fell behind their Big 12 opponent 9-22 early in the first half, but after an 8-2 run they were only down by 7. TCU answered the challenge by outscoring CMU 15-2 over the next 3:30.

TCU’s lead was 20 points by halftime thanks in part to an impressive performance from Desmond Bane who recorded 18 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks. The Horned Frogs continued their relentless attack and the deficit would swell to 30 points with 39 seconds remaining.

The stats The Chippewas shot an abysmal 32.8 percent from the field and 17.4 percent from beyond the three point line. They

were out-rebounded 48 to 31 and surrendered 20 fastbreak points.

Larry Austin was the lone bright spot for the Chippewas, leading the team with 19 points and five assists. David DiLeo struggled to find his shot all night and finished with five points on 2-11 shooting.

After Bane’s hot start the Horned Frogs offense became more balanced in the second half, with four players scoring in double digits. Alex Robinson recorded a double-double with 11 points and 12 assists while also contributing on the defensive end with two steals.

“It was a variety of guys scoring inside and that’s what we wanted to see,” TCU coach Jamie Dixon said.

What’s next CMU will look to bounce back on the road against the Youngstown State Penguins (3-5) on Dec. 4.
