Michigan AD Martin to retire in 2010

Chockey Betting Lines

10/21/2009 - Ann Arbor, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - University of Michigan director of athletics Bill Martin will retire from his position on September 4, 2010, he announced Wednesday.

Martin notified school president Mary Sue Coleman with a letter, indicating the two had discussed his retirement for a couple of years.

"For nearly a decade, Bill has shown truly outstanding leadership as Athletic Director at the University of Michigan," Coleman said in a statement. "He has not only done a superb job of attracting top coaches for the full range of Michigan sports, but he has also assembled an excellent management team to oversee all aspects of athletics operations."

Coleman also said Martin will remain as AD until a successor is in place, then will serve as a special advisor until he retires in September. Coleman said she will personally oversee the search for Michigan's next AD, which she expects to take "a number of months."

Martin has been in his position since August 2000, several months after he was named interim AD. He was initially given a five-year appointment, but remained in his role and helped steer the school's football stadium renovation project.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
