I dated Matt for several years in the 90's. Bo was a great coach, but a shitty dad to his adopted sons. He married Millie for an instant family and photo ops to get hired by UM and look like "a family man". The adopted boys were pawns. If you behaved and played the role you were rewarded like Geoff and the Dominos franchises. Matt did not agree with how Bo treated them or his mom. I have been in rooms with the both of them and they would ignore each other. The only son that mattered to Bo was Schemy. After Schemy was born no one even knew Bo had other sons. No one dares to talk negative about the great one, you must protect the image. The university must protect the image. It's a money machine. People who knew the truth would never speak up, they wanted a to remain close to the celebrity.
Matt had the contract to get the original wood benches from UM as the new seats were installed in the Big House. UM would deliver them to his warehouse. He would remove the plastic covering on the original wood benches and make items out of them. I know all about this process first hand. Matt's non-profit, items made from the benches went directly to the doctors doing Adrenal Cancer research at UM Hospital. The golf tournament and other fundraiser that Bo did in Millie's honor went to UM Hospital for cancer research but UM Hospital would decide what cancer research the money would go towards. Matt did not agree with this as he wanted it to go toward Adrenal cancer research to honor his mother. He and Bo had a big riff about this because the tournament advertises that it is to raise money for Adrenal cancer research. If you went to the tournaments you might have noticed that Millie's first sons were seated in the back or asked to carry people clubs to their cars and eventually were not invited. Bo would say he had no evidence of Matt donating to Adrenal cancer research. Bo tried to use the university to slander Matt and wanted to stop Matt from getting the benches and stop Matt's non-profit, but Matt had the contract. Bo went to the hospital and eventually made sure the doctors Matt gave money's to could no longer except the checks from Matt for their research. Bo was not a great father and Matt has issues, but who can blame him. Bo's life was all football.
Yes, Cathy has made sure to wash Millie out of the record. Including selling Millie's things in a garage sale within weeks of marring Bo and not letting the boys take what they wanted of their moms. Matt recieved boxes of junk that were things of his moms, like kitchen gadgets, stuff that didnt sell. Matt had to buy some of his moms things at the garage sale. Within weeks Cathy had all Millies engraved silverware reengraved with her inicials. Bo was Cathy's third marriage to older rich men that would die and leave her everything. She has been sued by past step-children. Her own kids live like palpers. She had money from the previous marages but did not have the celebrity. Bo afforded her that.
Matt used to sell medical supplies and used to assist in surgeries when screws were first introduced. The bones I am assuming were a part of his old business.
