What The Hell Is UofM Athletics Doing?

Not sure this qualifies as Detroit, but I did see it in Crains Detroit.

Here is the first sentence from Bill Shea's article:

"The University of Michigan athletic department sits atop $240 million in debt at a time when several major college athletics programs are grappling with enormous and potentially crippling debt loads.'

I think UofM athletics is 'needy' its needs [[wants) are so far out of line to what it really 'needs.'

And they continue to spend and spend and spend on athletic facilities.

[[BTW, I do NOT favor unlimited spending on athletic facilities. I have NO problem with Comerica, Ford Field, LCA, etc. they seem reasonable and were needed [[and hopefully will last say 50 years). UofM seems to be on a spending spree devoid of reality).
