These Foundations are too sophisticated. There are now 6-degrees of separation between "the Foundation" and the payment. The Head of the NCAA is part of the scam. Only IRS involvement ends this criminal activity. A UM donor told me recently: "play to your strengths". UM can say: "7% of high...

Nope. I worked for one of the largest hedge funds in Atlanta. They thought that Sony was transcendental AND they needed to convince him to play alongside another 5-star running back. Michel is of Haitian descent, the 'Dawgs "broke the bank" with him. According to the CEO, he received the...

Georgia paid $200,000 for Sony Michel. That was ~6 years ago and am sure the price increased markedly since then. I knew about Sony's payment, but some other poster on this Board said that they also provided jobs to his parents as well. The "' Dawgs' " proximity to a National Championship last...

Those guys are getting paid. Georgia, LSU, Arkansas and Alabama are all paying top dollar for recruits. Private schools cannot do so. Notre Dame may pay, but they definitively do NOT have a Foundation. Only "paper mills" would place football above their academic reputation.

Hard to fault them. Sony Michel received $200,000. Someone on CI said that the foundation moved the family to Georgia as well. Not sure about the housing, but I can definitively ascertain that he received $200,000..... $200,000 is a LOT of money. (Unfortunately, he speaks glowingly of Athens...

My accountant worked there for 25+ years. He is from Miami and gave me some numbers to call. I have been writing and calling them about the 'Dawgs', 'Bama and the Razorbacks' foundations for years. I call the Atlanta office!

I call the IRS ALL OF TIME!!! I call them incessantly about the 'Dawgs.

Georgia's was obscene. Our CEO contributed over $100,000 per annum alone. He had his own private airplane....... The Head of Tax contributed up to $25,000. Her and her husband have not missed a 'Dawg game in 20 years and have been going to games for 45+. Georgia Tech graduates hate the 'Dawgs...

Michigan is at a whole "other" level. They have incredibly successful graduates.......... Michigan is slightly below the UCLAs, Georgetown's, Berkeley's, etc... On the basis of the diploma's strength, Miami and UF are nowhere near Michigan...... Emory is consistently highly ranked but its...

Look at the % of graduates from the respective schools and where they end up. What law schools are they attending? What % of the class becomes a doctor? What % of the respective classes end up at the NYC, Washingtons and Bostons? Hiring managers at Goldman, Disney and McKinsey all say that an...

UF better maintain its graduate programs! They lost the 'undergraduate' battle to UM, but have the clear lead in the graduate programs. UM is much better capitalized and does not rely on state funds. UF needs to focus on this.

Agreed. A freshman class size of 9,000+ for UF and 2,200 for UM is a marked difference. UF already forces students to take at least 1 class on-line their Freshman year. Endowment per total student body is ~$100,000 for UM and ~$45,000 for UF. The location of Miami and its stalwart medicine and...

My main point was to highlight how poorly the administration at UF managed the school. It was once considered a step below Michigan and is now at Georgia's level. That is a STEEP decline. UM raised $4 billion under Shalala and now boasts marked advantages over UF. Miami is now the Emory of the...

Yes. Have been for over 200 years now..........

I honestly do not remember the actual ranking, but my parents did not even allow us to apply. Our "safety" school was UF because it was cheap and MUCH higher ranked than UM. It is funny, but back in the mid-80s, UVA, Berkeley, UCLA and maybe UNC were considered top tier. Michigan was close to...

Ridiculous! In 1991, Miami was ranked #250 in US New and World Report............ It now boasts the highest ranking in the state and its last president raised $4 billion. It also boasts the #6 biotech hub in the Southern United States. Alabama will NEVER become a "decent university". Never...

I have been posting regularly about Georgia's foundation for a few years now on "CanesInsight". I almost mentioned that UGA paid $200,000 to Michel and his family in order to entice him to Athens. Amusingly enough, the Treasurer of my former employer calls me last week and asks: "if I have been...
