I’m not interested in getting political, but your description of circumstances can get immediately fucked. Negged for attempting to absurdly minimize the assassination attempt on a presidential candid

Eh. Underwood is from Michigan. If they plan on being a player in the NIL era, losing him wasn't an option.

Did you like it more over the last decade when rich bayou sleaze lords flexed their miniscule financial muscles for: Jamal Adams, Ed Paris, Eric Monroe, Grant Delpit, K’Lavon Chaisson, and Harold Perkins?  This new reality is way, way better.

It is more defensible when it’s to keep a local star home.  Michigan doesn’t produce many #1 overall prospects.  I would hope and expect that we would do the same in a similar situation.

No, it’s the potential for Portnoy to pull a Phil Knight (with obviously far less money, but still enough) and throw tons of money into NIL. A single very rich dude can have a very big impact on Texas recruiting success.

Does it sting more to you than what Phil Knight is doing at Oregon?

 

No? So basically you’re scared of The Landscape. I’m of the opinion this is the world, so we know what we have to deal with. Better than the bag game while Texas holds its nose and ignores reality.

go tell some rich Texas alums their honor is being challenged. But I’m not going to get my panties in a twist about a Michigan alum having to offer a HS kid 10-12 million to stay home. OH NOES TEXAS IS FUCKED!!

That’s my exact point. See above. 

I was editing my post. See above. Although my post was more of a “why does this scare you more than” and yours was more of a “holy shit holy shit I’m scared” slant.

No, my only point is that everyone is laughing about lsu.  And it is funny. And I love it. But tomorrow Knight or Portney could decide to aim their dollars this direction and poach Texas players and it wouldn’t be so funny. 

Of course, if a Texas billionaire or two wanted to step up, then obviously that would be great.  But right now I’m going to limit my joy over lsu’s misfortune because it wouldn’t be very fun watching bidding wars between a couple of rich billionaire assholes. Basically I hate Portnoy.

If it makes you feel better, Michigan's NIL group is literally crediting Larry Ellison for flipping Underwood

Portnoy isn't in the same stratosphere as Knight.

Portnoy has enough to sign a QB every 3-4 years. Knight bankrolls the entire Oregon NIL, Portnoy is only giving to a QB. Not that it matters because, as previously mentioned, Moore is the head coach and he is a fucking moron.

Last couple of weeks before signing day so this is "stupid money" season when desperate teams throw out insane numbers?

Michigan, Florida, and Texas A&M all say hi.

One thing you can tell about the NIL era, all three are real academic colleges (TAMU to a lesser degree but better than Ole Miss or LSU) with legitimately wealthy alumni.
