$133 million dollars U of M athletic department budget is watched closely by Dave Brandon.  See video featuring athletic programs as business models that need to be sustainable.  Michigan’s athletic department sold bonds to generate excited fans.

The indoor practice facility has been renovated and is shown here in the video by Coach Hoke.  This helps recruit top athletes and generates huge fund raising.

Alabama’s athletic department profits have tripled.

Is there too much pressure on student athletes? Watch our great treasure – U of M Football via 60 minutes. I agree with Brandon, they did a fair job.  I am one of University of Michigan’s biggest fans when not selling homes in Ann Arbor.
