Reporters' Notebooks

Mark Snyder, Detroit Free Press: Pricing for the new suites at Michigan Stadium: $85,000 between the 35-yard lines, $75,000 between the 35 and the 10, $65,000 between the 10 and just past the end zone, and $55,000 from that point to the end of the structure.

He was charged earlier this month with misdemeanor battery and felony aggravated battery after police said he beat a fellow student during a cookout at an Athens apartment complex.
