      ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson has
decided to stay and play for coach Brady Hoke.
      School spokesman Dave Ablauf says Robinson informed Hoke of his
decision during a meeting on Thursday.
      Robinson's high school coach said 10 to 15 schools had called
him by Wednesday afternoon, expressing their interest in the
dual-threat QB if he chose to transfer.
      The first player in NCAA history to throw and run for 1,500
yards hasn't publicly reacted to the firing of Rich Rodriguez last
week or the hiring of Hoke.
      Robinson, who was chosen Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year,
came to Michigan because of Rodriguez's spread offense.
      He finished sixth in voting for the Heisman Trophy and won
awards as the Big Ten's offensive player of the year and MVP.
