But its the Boosters, not the school that is paying for his salary... did little old Nevin run our boosters scared with his shenanigans??

When's the last time our Boosters laid out any kind of serious money? I'll go with "never." In large part because we have so few boosters. Michigan's booster base is likely 100X larger than ours.

Michigan has an $8 billion endowment and they consistently draw 100,000 in the stands for home games. They're making money off the Big Ten Network. They have an extremely large booster base with alums that donate big money. They can pay anything they want.

I'm not sure the payout is that high for Golden. It would probably be cheaper in the long run to make the decision now. They can get Davis or Schiano for a song. It's pretty clear Golden is a dead man walking and they'll fire him after next season unless he has a miracle season. Despite all the propoganda coming out of Hecht, I think retaining Golden comes down the fact that they're dumping this problem on the next University President.

How many individual contributions does it take to accumulate a $100M athletic slush fund?

Cant stand the "woe is me, we're broke" crowd

You realize that campaign began in 2008, right? That means it took ~6 yrs to put together 100 mil. Roughly 16.5 mil/yr. For the entire athletic dept. All facilities, all scholarships, all coaches, for all sports.


Michigan's donors can put 16.5 mil up in a split second, just for football to get rid of a coach and bring in a big name.

Big difference.
 
Acc bowl money, tv contracts, donors, All multi-million dollar deals, not to mention other things!
We got the money, they are just to proud to throw in the towel right now. We are just going to waste another yr

Money is hard to come by? Thanks for the life lesson, dad.

The money is there. Bottom line.
 
There's no comparison...Michigan's decision makers actually care about football.

Even if they don't end up getting Harbaugh...the fact they went all out to get him is something our inept, incompetent administration would never do.
