If the University of Michigan is under the financial pressures that are reported (and as an adjunct professor there, I have a decent basis for asserting that they are) what are they doing flying around to golf resorts and coaches' residences in a $14 million dollar airplane that costs $2-3 thousand an hour to operate? Didn't they learn anything from what happened to the bozos from General Motors?

I'm not going to freak.

Its just strange that this plane is so involved in UM that it hasn't landed in Michigan in who knows how long.

So you honestly think that a plane with a big arse 'M' on the tail being in BR is just a coincedence when it is pretty common knowledge that Mighigan is looking at Miles?? Should they have had one of those beach banners attached to the back saying "We may be coming to steal your coach LSU"?

We have no idea where any of the people involved in this process may be coming from. Apparently scattered all over the country..

My thing is, I don't think it's a coincidence that this plane suddenly started getting more air time the past couple of days.


This plane is pretty active for a private jet.

Odds are he leases it out.

I actually think it makes more sense. UM, just like other successful universities, extend well beyond their home city. This jet just appears to be a work horse beyond their home area.

It's not UM's plane. The booster lends it out when needed.

Oh and for those that haven't seen this, the numbers in this pic also match the exact plane that's in BR right now....

I think people forget that there are a number of things ongoing in BTR that would result in the use of a plane.

I'd like for one person to tell me why this plane hasn't flown to the state of Michigan in forever.

It is posts like this that breaks up all the stress of this ongoing drama.


Great response :)

The last time it was in Michigan was 10/26.

You're telling me in the last 2.5 months there has been no need for this jet that apparently is heavily involved in UM's athletics and academics to be there?

Is there actually a team meeting called or not?

Can anyone confirm/deny?
