First, for them this settlement is pocket change. They did to us what every big entity does to the little guy. “If they want it, make ‘em wait, make ‘em work.” Well, they made us wait and they made us work. And in the end, we got no more than what we were asking for. Did we get less? Of course we did. Money plus time equals more money. Michigan and Rich Rod kept their money and, at least in Rich Rod’s case, will continue to keep some of it, thus generating more money. And how much did we have to spend in attorney fees and costs to get it? We try to console ourselves by saying Rich Rod never had a defense, but we know that $4 million was excessive and therefore a penalty, and unenforceable. Rich Rod and Michigan settled to avoid the distractions as football season approaches. They had budgeted for this from the beginning and finally settled because they had managed what they wanted to accomplish. They jerked us around, made us work, and made us wait.
