University of Michigan alumnus Donald C. Graham helped pay for the university's football team trip to France. His contribution came after U-M invested $102 million in his son's private equity funds.
The wealthy family who helped bankroll the University of Michigan football team's recent overseas trip has received more than $100 million in investments from the university, according to a review of hundreds of U-M records.
U-M's endowment has invested a total of $102 million in four private equity funds run by the son of U-M alumnus and mega-donor Donald Graham.
