Maybe it's not totally about NIL

Though Michigan is a very good school with a strong alumni base around the country. From what I've heard, it's also a great college town.

sure. But it has nothing to do with football. If it did, Alabama would suck and Duke would be elite.

their fans feel the same way as our fans. We don’t have a football whale like Oregon and OSU, and the half share has less of an impact with them. Plus their University President has to cater to Uncle Phil’s cash for capital projects.
Elite kids on Left Coast don’t want to live in Oklahoma and Midwest kids are obviously drawn to the Tx/OU/Ta$m so they need the college athletes version of FU money.I’d like to see the ducks play Boystate again, followed by tOSU, and pray they don’t meet Sark in the championship.
Hopeful of a coug type upset tomorrow, tall task especially with the disappointing transfer or the freshman. Tomorrow feels like playing Oregon lead my Sark. *praying dog gif -
the only online estimates of NIL I've seen, which I've posted and linked to elsewhere, puts Michigan firmly in the T10 behind only Texas, OSU, LSU, Georgia and A&M and well ahead of Washington at around lower end of T25 (#23). Oregon isn't that much higher at around #18. Michigan, as an institution generally, has an endowment almost 4x that of UW's. It's a very wealthy school and pretty much always has been. They are not the school that anyone needs to worry about in terms of crying any form of poor mouth.

You have to guess that there's some off-balance sheet money at some of the top spenders.
UW basically needs to 2x their budget if we(?) want to compete again, which means coming up with another $9.406 million. Ignoring which boosters will invest that money for the moment, from a cost / benefit perspective it should be attractive. How much more money does UW make if makes the playoffs rather than going to Crazy Larry's Bowl in Shreveport? $10 million? How much bigger are the donations to UW Hospital, Business, Law, and Engineering in a 12-0 season rather than going 6-6?
Also, the donations are tax-deductible then right?
