Looking for a massive NIL deal! 

[edit: seems to be faux info from a now-suspended Twitter account.  Zach Edey himself reportedly is pushing back against the disinformation

I'll be leaving the edited post up for now, at least long enough to deter others from starting a new OP on the same subject.

edit: fake news

Interesting development. Edey probably has limited NBA prospects right? He must see now as the time to start cashing in while he can

Also, 0% surprising but it's funny how 'NIL' deal (i.e. name, image, likeness) immediately just turned into 'cut me a check for this much'

Michigan basketball should just lean into having traditional bigs like football did with the run game. Imagine having Edey and Dickinson on the floor at the same time... Can't double them both.

Wow. For some reason, I assumed he was out of eligibility. And even if he wasn't, I'd have expected him to stay at Purdue.

EDIT: So I was surprised and SHOULD have been surprised, as Edey denies it.

This whole thing has become a big giant pile of a stinking mess.

Completely unfettered free agency.

In just a few years, the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction.

That's the part that made zero sense to me when Dakich says "my people tell me he is in the portal".   Your people?   

How about you actually pull up the Transfer Portal to verify what "your people" are telling you before tweeting it out

The internet.. ideally a utility to share knowledge and foster communications which supports advances in society and humanity.

It may also be the largest garbage receptacle ever devised.
