Behind the scenes with Michigan football

60 Minutes producer Draggan Mihailovich talks about his story on college football


This week on Overtime, we take you behind-the-scenes at the University of Michigan, one of the schools producer Draggan Mihailovich followed for his 60 Minutes report on the fervor, tradition, and business model behind college football.

"One thing that struck me was just how professional everything has become," said Mihailovich. "The attention to detail, how organized everything was-- you felt like you were really part of a business."
