UM: Football

An Associated Press article looks at how the economy is affecting college athletic programs. The piece notes that UM is getting a double-whammy from the economy and a losing season. Says Michigan fan and donor Larry Adkins: ”You have to start thinking about how much you give. You have to start thinking about everything. The auto industry here is in big trouble, and that affects my business and all kinds of other businesses. The first things you stop spending money on are the things you don’t absolutely need.” [Source]
