Harbaugh Donating His Bonuses back to Ath Dept to restore salaries

Submitted by Blue Kool Aid on November 30th, 2021 at 7:26 PM

On the day that Brian Kelly ditched the inferior facilities and actual academic standards of Notre Dame and walked out on a possible  college playoff team for $95 million and a cooperative admissions department, we learned that Jim Harbaugh is donating every cent of bonus he receives (could be as high as $3 million) back to the Michigan Athletic Department to restore the salaries of department employees whose salaries were cut due to COVID driven revenue shortfalls.

Forget the great coaching job he did this year, reinventing himself and his staff.  This man is the embodiment of the Michigan Man, and the players who learn life lessons from him are very fortunate.

Hail to the Victor Valiant!

Man, if I'm a guy like Jack Swarbrick, I gotta be praising Touchdown Jesus I've got a coach like Brian Kelly who wouldn't even THINK about doing this to a famed program like Notre Dame. Riley may be OU for now, but we'll see if he doesn't get a wandering eye down the road.

This wasn’t just a thread yesterday or last night  or whenever though, I think it’s also been posted as a reply at least once in every single thread about Riley & Kelly’s new salaries…I’d honestly rather see repeat threads like this than all the damn snowflake threads that are being made about the same dang things…

I guess the OP and myself are the last two people here to have heard about this. I just searched through board posts twice going back two pages and can't find it. So in all likelihood the first time it was posted is in the running for worst thread title of the year.

I mean out of the hundred or so threads started today alone this is one of the few that deserves its own thread.

Your final sentence encapsulates why I'm leaving it up on the board while taking down a few other threads soon. 

But not only that.  Like what you alluded to about the first one from yesterday already being buried, this is subject matter that deserves a repeat appearance.  Word should be spread far and wide of his generosity.

Hopefully he gives some of that cash to his staff as incentive to keep them around. Others suitors have started circling the fort, trying to break up our happy home.
