ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- The University of Michigan is turning to former football player and Domino's Pizza CEO David Brandon to lead its athletics program.

If approved by the Board of Regents later this month, Brandon will take over as athletic director in March.

He replaces Bill Martin, who said last year he would retire. Martin will serve as a special adviser to university President Mary Sue Coleman until his retirement.

His grandfather and father, both farmers, were supervisors in Washtenaw County's Salem Township. In 2005, he weighed a run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Debbie Stabenow but decided instead to seek re-election to the Board of Regents. Brandon also headed Republican Dick DeVos' unsuccessful 2006 campaign to unseat Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

Funny how none of the daily papers in Michigan mention Brandon's link to the knuckle-dragging DeVos.
