About three decades ago, a bunch of idiot drunks decided to go and jump in Mirror Lake (one of the university's most cherished locations) during the late fall/winter months (I think around the Michigan game). That became an overnight 'tradition.' A bunch of drunk people diving into freezing water that was about two feet deep. What could possibly go wrong, but the inevitable. Finally, the logical outcome occurred and one of them sadly died. So what did the university do? Obviously banned the practice, but then gutted the lake and turned it into a 'natural water area'. Now it looks like a garden next to a swamp. Because just telling people not to do the obvious wasn't enough.
