Considering how high profile most athletic coaches and programs are, it makes perfect since. Is it morally correct? Probably not, but it makes since to me. You would think some government employee, but if that was the case we would be talking about corruption and other things that might influence that money being spent on that person, that would mostly been seen as illegal. And those individuals also generate millions for their universities. You also said Izzo, but I would not be surprised if it was the football coaches in that state. Michigan football program alone in a couple of games alone would out draw more fans to most basketball games in any college program. That is why we have all this conference moving around is taking place. Football is king and generates the most money in games and TV revenue.
