How does having a slightly larger stadium make the job better?

107K compared to 102K

larger athletic budget

They're both around 200 million, the difference is negligible.

a $17b endowment

Has nothing to do with nor impacts athletic departments.

larger alumni base

I'll give yo this one, size of alumni base matters.

positioned in an area with much higher population base

Approximately double the population and land size of Louisiana, shares state with another Big 10 school. Not as talent rich. I don't see this as an advantage. Moreover, Michigan would not rank top three in population amongst SEC states.

Notwithstanding alumni base, your points as to why the job is better than LSU and/or other SEC schools are without merit.

Otherwise, Texas A&M would be considered the best job in the country, surely better than Michigan based on your qualifications.
