michigan started theirs in 2016, so only 3 years later.
So, UMn signs a shoe contract after going 20-42 the previous 5 seasons, right after firing the worst coach the school has probably EVER hired. Tim Brewster was the trainwreck that took all of Jerry Kill's first 3 seasons to recover from.
Contrast that to say, 2021 where UMn's 5 year record could be 41-23 if they just go 9-4 in 2020. They are 32-19 over the last 4 seasons, night and day from 20-42.
Just saying, when this current contract comes up for renegotiation, if you think it will be comparatively as low as the last one was, then you are not very smart.
