People like to say "hey, don't waste my tax dollars on crap like that!" They used to say the same thing about Tubby Smith being the highest paid State employee. Well...not in reality. He is paid with booster money, not taxpayer money.

The money comes from athletic boosters, alumni that support the football program. The money doesn't exist without football. The donors give it for this specific reason. That's just the way it is. And the power of sports.

Low-balling that the alternate look cost at least $50 per player at 100 players, the U is so flush that there's nowhere else they could have used $5000 than on the forever sucking football program? I went the the U and unless things have changed considerably, I know there are buildings on the Mall that could use some work and a student or two that could stand some help with textbooks.
Come on, U of M. Embrace reality and stop spending so much money on a football program that will never be better than OK except in exceptional years where they might rocket up to pretty good.
Absolutely true Twinfan. I appreciate your having your heart in the right place Bohumm but your comment was irrelevant.
