My family and I are planning to tailgate at the Michigan game and have never done it before. Was curious if anyone knows if college game day comes where they set that up and if it affects where tailgating space is available. Any insight or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

You are going to love it….especially if we can pull off a win. I would imagine the atmosphere will be unbelievable. I’ve heard the Michigan home crowd is very inviting to out of conference fans. Now that may change by the end of the game. I hope so. Lol
Didn’t the Big 10 teams earn like $53M each in TV revenue last year? Thats just the cut from ESPN etc etc. I think those schools also have tier 2 and 3 incomes also.
what I am getting at is that I doubt they are hurting to bad with that fine. Unless they find a 20M QB that is.
The fine is going to be larger than that, as well, when all is said and done, imo.
$50k flat fine (bastcally nothing)
10% of football revenue (around $15m)
10% of football scholarships (around $7m)
All postseason payouts
Latest projections peg the fine at between $30-32m
Interestingly, the B1G evenly distributes all postseason monies. Postseason participants get the same as those that don't make a bowl. This means that they would be taking on the full cost of travel and expenses for any postseason trips.
Based on this info, I’m thinking the fine isn’t so bad. Thanks for the info, 59.
Plus your family will get to enjoy the ESPN Game Day experience next weekend.
The cut for each team doesn't come into play until the team's expenses are paid for. The non bowl teams don't get more net than the bowl teams.

I was pleased to see that tailgating has improved significantly. There’s still work to be done, but it’s early days. I met several people at the game who weren’t aware of the recent opening of the North Oval until they arrived at Campus Corner to pre-game, so I expect participation will grow significantly as the season progresses - especially with five home conference games ahead.

I think it's okay to laugh at this.
