rumor mill is that Rod Moore might've torn both ACL's in practice. Jesus. Kid came back from a nasty ACL tear in HS. He could be looking at 3 ACL's before he ever touches the pros. Could kill his draft stock.

He really should've went pro and not come back for his SR year. My advice to any kid that is a potential 1st, 2nd, or 3rd rd pick....go to the NFL...get your money. Don't wait.

Will Johnson talked about his NIL deals, and confirmed he's one of the athletes with an additional EA Sports deal with the upcoming game.  Also it appears that Michigan got its total NIL package together after apparently being behind a couple years ago.  Not necessarily in total dollars, but in terms of organization

Michigan lost only five scholarship players to the transfer portal since coach Jim Harbaugh departed the program in late January. The Wolverines also saw key players return for another season instead of heading to the NFL Draft, including senior running back Donovan Edwards, senior safety Rod Moore, graduate safety Makari Paige and others.

Johnson credited the Champions Circle collective for much of the player retention.

“Every year, it’s evolved,” Johnson said of Michigan’s NIL platform since he arrived in Ann Arbor. “They’re working with us to get guys in the transfer portal, and the guys that came back for another year.

“The collective has done a great job of putting their all into making it what it is now, and I think they’ve done a great job so far, so I’m excited to see where it’s going. It was very important. We needed to keep that core group together – a lot of the guys that had experience on this team last year, especially in the secondary. I think that was the main reason we were able to do that, and I think it’s going to be big for later in this offseason, too.”

That’s how NIL should be used. NIL should be used for proven players on the team or going after proven guys in the portal. 

Inducement for recruiting HS kids who haven’t proven anything just seems like a bad idea all around.

Yeah, but if you don't do it, and your rivals do, guess how many top HS kids are going to be coming to your school? :57:

Also, some reports were that UM's NIL payroll over over $8 million last year, mostly to retain existing talent.

This has to be the move for helmet schools.  Get them in the door with the status, THEN pay them once they earn it.

Harbaugh did a good job identifying talent, so it remains to be seen how much they have to dedicate to the portal.  They didn't overly rely on it.  That center from Virginia is the one major outlier.  Obviously non-helmet schools have to pay guys to get them, then pay them more to retain them.  That's where putting the one year sit out rule back in would help reel some of this back in

Seems to me that CFB has to take the same idea to what they do as the NFL.

  • CFB programs need to get cheaper HS talent the same way NFL teams have to maximize their draft. This is the pipeline. 
  • CFB programs need to manage NIL/transfers the same way NFL teams have to manage free agency. Players looking to move are going to be expensive. 

Keeping a recruited player who pans out happy is probably cheaper than attracting a proven transfer. So you can't just skip out on HS recruiting.

Close, but MLB, where the resources aren't equal

They put on a pretty big production for the OSU game, and I imagine this will be similar.

I am interested to see the ratings on these.  I thought it was crazy when BTN started airing them, but now FOX?  It's a fun event to attend, particularly with the weather we had this past weekend.  But to watch on tv?  Particularly not your own team?

I dunno if I will watch the Michigan spring game, but I'm more interested in it than the USFL
