REPORT: Michigan presents $5 million NIL offer to 5-star QB Bryce Underwood

[Cedric]

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.

The House Settlement will only apply to that group of plaintiffs. The next group is waiting in line to file their cause of action, probably represented by the same NY law firm

Michigan's 2025 QB commit Carter Smith just decommitted. So, either he has gotten word that Underwood is accepting Michigan's millions, or he didn't like the fact that Michigan has made an offer to Underwood.

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)

What does this have to do with what Michigan NIL is willing to pay a player?

I don’t know how NIL works but isn’t this just pay to play? I thought that was a no-no.

In what way is Underwood’s deal different than any other NIL deal? (other than the exorbitant dollar amount)

You know what funny is that Deoins kid at Colorado Shedeur is actually what a NIL deal should be . 90 percent of his money is not tied to Colorado. It’s actually a true NIL deal. I love Tne fact that DR is our QB . Buy what does he actually Do for his money?

There’s an article about his potential flip on the front page of ESPN. Not a single mention of NIL in it. That seems unusual.

I hope the kids stick with his pledge to LSU.

Considering they charge 2x as much to attend, they probably can swing 2x as much for a QB. NIL is about as out of control as the overall cost of school.

I’m sure it’s not. I just thought that you couldn’t do “pay for play”. Maybe I’m wrong. Do these kids have to do some sort of advertising or something for that money?

I would be really curious to see an interview with businesses who set aside millions for these NIL deals...after a few years of these things have cycled through to see if they feel like they got their money's worth..and i'm serious. I would read that article start to finish.

Underwood is currently committed to LSU, but Michigan is trying to flip him.

Did they hand him one of those giant checks like when you win the publishers clearinghouse sweepstake then take a picture with him and the staff holding it?
