Like anything else in life, those who are versatile will survive and flourish and those stuck with their heels firmly in the ground will be passed by and suffer.
Unfortunately I think MI falls into the category of having their heels dig in deep to old traditions.
There is a lot of old money in Ann Arbor who hate that the university is known best for football instead of academics. There are others who think MI can win without doing all the shady things other schools do. It’s that old school MI arrogance. It’s also why I think Harbs finally leaves to return to the NFL. He knows he can’t compete w the SEC at MI.
