The boat is rowing to Minnesota

Apparently PJ Fleck and Western Michigan came to an agreement whereby the very popular "Row the Boat" slogan is being transferred to Fleck's ownership (Fleck actually came up with it) for $50k. Fleck was the HC at Western Michigan over the last four years, with winning seasons in the last 3 and going 13-1 and playing in the Cotton Bowl last year before being hired as Minnesota's new HC this year.
A quick interesting note about Fleck...he played WR at NIU from '99 to '03, which means that:
1. Holy crap, a Big 10 HC is younger than me.
2. Western went 2-0 against Fleck, winning 27-21 in '99 and then 29-26 in '02
Sounds like the $50k will essentially cover the costs of removing the slogan from the stadium and other various signage where it was displayed around campus.
