The Administration, to be so "intellectual," have yet to figure out that nationwide - there's only one exposure that UM really gets to make itself known. UM couldn't BUY the exposure the football program can provide.

You'll note that the 30 for 30 series didn't do a segment on Notre Dame. Or Oklahoma. Or Alabama. Or Ohio State. They did it on the success of a small, private college in FOOTBALL. And now a Part 2 will be shown immediately after the Heisman Awards. And don't think that scheduling was an accident.

You see - if the top decision makers are obvious dumbasses - then how good is the organization they run?
