Maybe it's not totally about NIL
And where a guy wants to be academically and socially matters as well:

fuck off with that bs about the money not being a huge factor.

Swallowing a Michigan pr piece whole, huh?
-
Its always about the money
-
no dude some Michigan associate AD told Tom Loy Michigan is different and the $12m had no influence. Being a hometown hero was payment enough!

it didn't take long for academis to start making its way into the conversation. lolz.
after Oregon loses a game and everyone here stops wringing their hands over a potential Oregon natty, it will die down. feels like we're? starting to load up all the "they do it the wrong way" stuff early in anticipation that "no natty" won't be available going forward.
calm down. Oregon has a ways to go before a natty. quite a ways.
btw, Washington has an NIL program too, and it's richer than that of many other schools. it's the new deal. play it like you mean it or get the rules changed.

many other schools?
Not so sure about that.

I hope you're right and UW really needs a whale. Larry Ellison and his wife just got involved with Michigan b/c Ellison's wife went there.

Right. It’s the Portnoy “I’ll buy us a QB” story, which brought in Ellison’s wife. Not sure Ellison himself cares but whatever. Oregon got Balmer money the same way though it wasn’t for sports in that case.
Point is, it’s not about Michigan being a really great and special place. They bought the kid. Cash money. It is about NIL completely.
