I work the basketball camps every summer, and when camp ended on Sunday I saw him leaving the BBQ and he drives a Chevy Equinox or Traverse. Couldn't tell which one. But definitely not this. I wish though.

First, Brady Hoke does not buy his own car.  Based on his contract, Brady Hoke is entitled to participate in the "dealer provided automobile program available to the Athletic Departing coaching staff... (which as of the date of this Agreement allows the Head Coach and designated family members the use of two (2) automobiles plus paid automobile insurance)." [Section 3.03(c) of the Employment Agreement.]

Second, the cars that the coaches are allowed to choose between are mainly American-made cars, but there are a few other options.  All of these cars are provided complimentary as a donation.  http://support.mgoblue.com/gratitude-and-engagement/transportation-team/

Exactly!! This just means he has extra cash to but a vehicle he really wants and make it his own. Most of the time I see GMC vehicles in those spots (SUV and trucks). But today is Friday!! Rock it out Hoke

Hoke is "entitled" to a free vehicle? Hypocritical because we complain about so many young athletes feeling "entitled"

Hoke gets paid so much money. Does he really need a free car? Make him earn it. Give it to him on a season by season basis only if he beats Ohio State (Ohio)

If Shane Morris had a contract that stipulated he started every game no matter what, he'd be entitled to start every game. The problem (not with Morris, AFAIK, just an easy example) is if Morris feels he is entitled to start every game no matter what despite not actually being entitled to anything.

If I buy a stock I'm entitled to speak/vote at a shareholders meeting, as a citizen I'm entitled to a vote in public elections and by contract Hoke is entitled to a car. I don't think there's a problem with any of that.

Not to "toot my own horn," but I just picked up a 1966 Mustang last month. It's my first classic car. I dont' know how to do this picture post thing because I'm old and confused, but I'll try to post a photo of it here:
