Those Who Stay Will Be Champions
Schembechler began his tenure as head coach at Michigan with a rallying cry to his players: "Those who stay will be champions!"
His first training camp in 1969 saw around 140 players enter but a mere 75 emerging from the grueling camp and choosing to embrace Schembechler's rigorous system that included tough discipline tactics.
Every Michigan football player who played for Bo and stayed at Michigan for four years left Michigan with at least one Big Ten championship ring. Not once did any Michigan player under Bo endure a losing season.
Bo kept his word: Those who stayed really did become champions.
