Guys like Joe Pa and Tressel are rare. It seems to be more leading towards the "I will be a top 3 paid coach" thing... (I'm talkin' to you Less)

mind you, i'm not saying people shouldn't chase higher salaries. i'm just saying we need to call it what it is. hypothetically, do you think RR would have made the move if it was a wash financialy? i don't.

Flip that around. Do you think, if SMU had come calling with the same offer, RR would have headed that way? I don't. And on the same note, it's those big programs that have both the deep pockets and the deep expectations that allow for the big salaries.

Those aren't the Michigan cheerleaders. I believe it's a dance line.

That's the dance team. 
Due to the UM athletics site redesign, this is the only decent shot I can find of our cheerleaders. (Damn slackers!)
