The current president of U of M (Mary Sue Coleman) was formerly the president at Iowa and was at least partially responsible for bringing in Ferentz there. Apparently she likes him very much. As for how much influence she has in the athletic department, that's up for debate; if Ferentz gets hired, then chances are her influence is considerable.
Also, his daughter is apparently a student at Michigan.
