While Michigan football has floundered under the leadership of Dave Brandon, executives' salaries within the Michigan athletic department have risen 72% since the pizza tycoon switched careers.
And while I have no doubt Theresa Howe is a fine Executive Secretary to the Senior Top Executive, I am questioning if there's a secretary in the world worth $107,000 annually, let alone one in a state with a median household income of ~$53,000.
But that's indeed what she's making, and if she's truly worth every penny, then perhaps they should just hand the athletic department's reins over to Ms. Howe. She certainly couldn't do any worse than her boss.
