You must to have never heard of Larry Ellison.
I suggest you do a quick google search.

According to Goodman they flew coach 2x this season. He made it a huge deal that UM don't invest in the bball program like they should.
According to Field of 68 goons so it could be hearsay.
Ellison isn't a UM alum. He's only throwing cash at the program to keep his trophy gal happy.
Also, while I agree that Mitch botched the hire badly, wasn't May already off the board by the time Caliponzi hit the bricks?
UNC couldn't get TJ Otzelberger. That should concern fans of blue bloods.
Can't trust an almost 50 something year old man named Dusty.
He’s in the FF at UM. Why on Earth would he leave UM for a higher pressure job to a school with less money?
Yes,May was already gone before Cals departure.
And yes,it’s Ellisons GF that is a UM alum.
As long as there together,he’ll keep feeding the
UM is one of the richest non-private school in the United States. By a lot. They literally have the 3rd largest public endowment in the country. Behind UT and Texas AM SYSTEMS (that includes all their sister schools and subsidies). They have more money that the UC systems (California).
19.2 BILLION.
Ours? 2.5. They’re 8x richer than we are. May will NEVER leave as long as he keeps winning.
Yes. But that’s because Mitch dragged his ***. Cal should’ve been already gone while were we playing “will he, wont he”.
He would’ve had to try really hard, but he’s not really known for trying really hard.
Meh. Bball coaches are pretty busy in the winter. Climate, in the winter, is pretty insignificant. Ann Arbor is a great town and pretty pleasant in the months he’s got some semblance of free time.
Yeah I think people forget Ann Arbor is not N Michigan. It might as well be a Detroit suburb at this point. 40 minutes and you are in Detroit.
I know most uk fans think this but its absolutely untrue. UK basketball benefited from no one else in the sec really caring about basketball. Now they do.
Add to that nil. The big 10 can and now does just outspend everyone in both football and basketball.
The days of us financially being the biggest bear in basketball are way over. Outspending cant be our strategy anymore because we can't pull it off.
Didn’t say you had to go there.Im not sure that’s a great sales pitch
Mitch also screwed us by not firing him AND giving him that insane contract.
He was hired before cal left. Kind of hard to hire a guy when you don’t have an opening.
The Cats can get any coach they want.. They just wanted Mark Pope.....
Still have to try, make him a massive offer. Give him the 13 million a year for 7-8 years. 20 million dollar NIL budget.
This is not true.
May was hired by Michigan on March 24, 2024. John Calipari resigned as UK’s coach on April 9, 2024.
Those dates don’t align with your claim.
They were hired in the same off-season. The problem is that Barney pushed it till late. You know he didn’t have a opening when the season ended like what’s gonna happen with Pope next year so we can start putting feelers out he pushed it to like a month after we had been knocked out or two weeks after we’ve been knocked out so it was late and if if Dude’s making calls to dusty Maye, he wouldn’t have gone to Michigan he would’ve come to come to Kentucky that simple. I don’t know what you’re talking about. They were hired in the same off-season.
