Makes sense to me

As I contemplate the firing of head basketball coach Juwan Howard at that school in Ann Arbor, I am compelled to remember the inauspicious way he started his tenure; by suggesting that the school re-hang banners that were taken down because the school had been forced to vacate all of its wins because their athletes were taking payments from boosters.

Hail to the Cheaters, I guess.  But more seriously, Howard's tenure at Michigan was a mess, and he threw away a golden chance to rebuild their basketball program.  The alumni network and support of fans at Michigan has few rivals in the NCAA, and hence it really takes some doing to end up 8-24.
