I'll take that wager my friend,  Michigan also has this insane booster club
(called the victors club) which requires a minimum $10,000 to join and has
tons of members. If we first exclude the money donated by these people to the
football program, and the $10 Million dollars per year that the football
program brings in through ticket sales, concessions, etc,  I'd say that out
of the U-M budget, VERY, VERY little is routed to the football program that
isn't paid for through the football boosters and football generated money.
 
I think I made a mistake bringing football up, perhaps we should all return
to the ice.
