    The nobody gives a crap update

    UM has a shortsighted view of football and it’s held us back for the last 20 years. Football should be run with an eye on return on investment. I know the other sports are about student athletes and amateur athletics, but we need to stop pretending football is. I can easily make the case...

    There is an athletics sub-committee….the chair, as of last year, was David Epstein. Not sure if he still is.

    We better hope Oregon doesn’t make it to the CFP then. No way he would leave a program before playing for a potential NC.

    The full board is largely a philanthropy/networking thing. You donate some money, you get on the board. The real decisions are made by the sub committees.

    It’s funny you say that because that part of the problem. Even the ones that care about football don’t care about it the way we do.

    Who’s Lambert? There are no BOT members with that name. Also, you are forgetting the Mas brothers. Not only do they care about football, but I suspect they would love to have Mario here.
