Good. It will either win them games or be a colossal failure. Either way, learning will happen.
Ours will be north of a million. Yours - a make-up deal from Mary Kay.
Michigan is one of the most defective states in the Union. Nice to know the public schools there have a trillion dollars to play with. It's almost like when you have massive corruption you also have massive wealth ...

Great state. Terrible state government. Stay out of Detroit, Flint and Benton Harbor and you’re goodMichigan is one of the most defective states in the Union.

Doesn’t seem sustainable. Too many guys move up to the next level and flop spectacularly, college and NFL.
It is CRAZY to think how much money this kids have been missing out on for years...all because of some made up BS rules.
Then, when they did get money, under the table, THEY got in trouble for it.

As long as their are fans and some rich boosters...it will last. Once those fans and boosters decide they have had enough...it will end.
Just seems like you’re pushing all your chips in on one kid. Are you gonna recruit a quarterback every year? Will they be paid the same as the first guy? Will the other players think they have a legitimate shot at the job? is there pressure to only play the five star because he got the money?
Between the ever increasing coaching salaries and the ever increasing cost of the “facilities wars” you can now add in multi million dollar NIL deals for the top players. At what point does college football become economically unviable? I know TV has added billions to the coffers but that only pays for operational expenses and facilities. NIL is private. But soon even NIL will go away in favor of schools just paying athletes directly. Will the NCAA impose salary caps on player pay? If so it will be challenged in court unless they also impose caps on the salaries of coaches.
It is going to get interesting

Dang....i dont even know what to say. That's incredible.
I would never cough up money like that, for that, blows me away people would...but it is their money so have at it.

Yeah, those will be the huge questions that the coaches (and players) have to deal with.
It will be interesting to see what happens!
more likely the courts will be setting "house" parameters. the ncaa is a nutless institution of academic nabobs.
These big schools are not going to F*ck around. If they have the money they're going to spend it. Only question is will Nebraska and our leadership keep up? At this point if I was Nebraska I'd easily throw around 10 mil for effective talent on the lines.
What does Michigan do if he says no? Offer him $35 million? Offer a 4 star $15 million? So fascinating. I hope he says no because I hate Michigan.
It already is
Even with the huge TV payouts, there are only a handful of athletic depts that turn an annual profit
College sports are entirely beholden to their broadcast partners at this point, and it is those entities that will shape college sports’s future
Since my son is interested in going to school in that area I have done some research
University of Michigan Non-Resident cost of attendance: $80,142
Eastern Michigan University Non-Resident cost of attendance: $34,384
Michigan State University Non-Resident cost of attendance: $56,474
University of Nebraska Non-Resident cost of attendance: $46,860
Penn State University Non-Resident cost of attendance: $56,264 (included because my daughter attends)

I have no idea how good our young talent is on the OL but we need huge improvement next year. If our coaches are good realistic evaluators and they don't think we have the talent, then go buy an OL. Fastest way to turn this ship around
Agreed. This and private equity when the athletic departments realize their going to need the capital to keep their balance sheets afloat. It's already an arms race and is only going to get worse.
You just hope that eventually money spent stupidly can't buy championships. Chelsea FC and Man United in the EPL is an example of this. Man city however pretty much buys championships every off season.
Buy a tackle for sure. If we could get a LT then move Gottula to RT. JEJ at center. Find a high end FCS guard. I'm leery of taking young transfer lineman. Have any of them worked out on either side of the line? Maybe Jeudy?
A fool and his gold are soon parted
If they want to pay that, so what? And if the kid spends it poorly. So what?
I think it’s ridiculous but it’s not my money.
No problem with it, but where some of these kids grow up are going to cause lots of issues when presented with cash all of a sudden. At least the money will most likely end up back in the economy.
We have local kid, from the hood who will start receiving $20k per month from Tennessee. Yes it will ruin more kids than help but it’s good in a sense that they’re sharing the wealth with the folks actually putting in the work
The courts can't and won't do anything. This is a legislative issue involving antitrust law.
In fact, the whole NIL beast (Sam Keller!) was unleashed because of antitrust law. The NCAA can't enforce anything because of that law, and any rules it tries to set/enforce will be struck down. The NCAA would need an antitrust exemption.
Only Congress can fix this and we all know that won't happen.
the "house settlement" is one of the courts not the legislative branch. but i agree, at some point congress may step in to bring some sanity to college sports. i too have believed this for a long time.
Historic House-NCAA settlement leaving hundreds of Olympic sport athletes in peril
While the NCAA and power conferences agreed to expand upon scholarships as part of the settlement, they also imposed roster limits for sports, many of which did not previously exist.

It's an act of desperation on Michigan's part. There could be chemistry problems surfacing in a program where a new guy gets $5 million and other players are looking at making very little by comparison. But having said that, college football has no salary cap. So the big boys can all pretend to be the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What a horrible direction college football is taking. No leadership. No rules. Lots of rich old men.
All very legitimate questions. How the hell do you establish a somewhat healthy QB room? You can’t pay’em all 5 million, and what top QB is gonna want to come sit behind the 5 million dolllar man for less money? Probably a lot less if we’re being totally honest.
CFB needs to get a handle on this NIL situation ASAP. Right now it’s a wild west shit show. Hate the direction things are going and hope CFB can course correct to degree.
In case you haven’t noticed, there already aren't a lot of top QBs going anywhere to sit behind anyone
Arch is a gigantic exception, but it’s largely a 1-man show in QB rooms all across CFB
