Claim: We figured that people would recognize this latest chain e-mail for the hoax that it is. It makes a ridiculously false claim about Craig Robinson, who is the head coach of Oregon State University's men's basketball team and First Lady Michelle Obama's older brother. But judging from the number of times we've been asked about this since the beginning of March, we were wrong. The author of this bogus e-rumor must be suffering from a different kind of "March Madness"
