The gifts ranged from $75 to $38,792 and came mostly from season ticket holders from California, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Ohio.
We are amazed by the generosity of our amazing fans.
We had 3,580 season ticket holders donate their @UMichFootball tickets to our athletic department, raising $5.9M.
At the time, season tickets holders who had already paid for their tickets were told they could apply their balance to 2021 season tickets, request a refund or donate them to the athletic department.
