He’ being paid 100% football donation dollars!? That’s rich!

I’ll end with this: As conservatives we constantly say imagine what it would be like if xyz were privatized? It would be so much more profitable! Same with college sports, plus we wouldn’t have to subsidize (with tax payer dollars not used to pay a head coach) the lesser popular sports.

Not just donations, REVENUE

Michigan football brings in $82 million on $23 million in expenses. It’s one of the most profitable business units in college sports.

No tax dollars.

You picked a bad example. None of what you’re complaining about happens here.

Athletic departments have to break even with no tax dollars involved. They have to be self sustaining. Trust us.
