15) Glen Rice slept with Sarah Palin
Before the Fab Five took college basketball by storm in the early 90’s, Glen Rice had his own impressive run at the University of Michigan. Rice played for the Wolverines from 1985-1989, leading the school to a National Championship in 1989. Apparently his sweet stroke on the court was enough to impress a young Alaskan TV sports reporter to give him some time off the court. That young sports reporter was Sarah Palin. Yes, the same Sarah Palin who became Governor of Alaska, and ran for Vice President in the 2008 Presidential election.
According to Rice, and other sources, their one night stand took place in 1987 when Rice traveled to Alaska for a basketball tournament. Rice claims they kept in touch even after he left Alaska, until Palin married her husband Todd in 1988. Palin denies having any type of relationship with Rice. He graduated as Michigan’s all-time leading scorer — and if the rumor is true — scoring with Palin is just as impressive.
