Hole quoting an Athletic article quoting an anonymous parent here, but this doesn't seem too far-fetched:

There is also an X rumor that Sabb got $2M to go to Bama.

It's amazing UM didn't lose more to the portal after Harbaugh left. This is also another data point that shows what kind of "NIL" game is needed to compete these days.

I'll let each of you decide if UM's program measures up.

One final point: Michigan won the 2023 football National Championship!

Michigan needs a big NIL cannon to keep their good players and get some players of need, like a QB, like the failed to do so far!

Frankly, I'll be damned if I'll contribute money for that. I love Michigan football and have been a season ticket holder for decades, but enough is enough.

I'll contribute towards programs where the sports are not revenue producing or towards helping walk ons even if they rarely play.
