Agree with most of y'all, but will add that I think other schools (Texas, Maryland, Rutgers..) are becoming more prestigious to attend now than they were 20 years ago.
He went to USC, because Pete Carrol organized his mom getting a house. Just like Cam Newtown went to Auburn because they paid his dad $150,000.
It was against the rules then and created an unfair playing field, because other programs weren't offering these benefits, since they were not allowed.
He had heart surgery in mid-September and should not have coached at all this season (just recruited and low-stress activities) and have come back in full next year.
A bigger effect of our easy schedule is that it allowed us to "practice" the style of D to stop/slow down OSU (and eventually UW).
Obviously, our coaches last year were all amazing, but they used playing inferior teams as learning and training against OSU as opposed to most other coaches/teams that would use it to relax or pad stats.
2020 was the COVID start year, and I firmly believe that Harbaugh/Michigan did not believe they would play football and did not want to play football, so they planned and practiced accordingly.
How is FSU (or any PE investor) expecting to make up a $500M buyout with a B1G contract?
Even if the B1G gives full revenue sharing, TV rights won't cover it. Presumably, everything else (tickets, merchandise sales...) would remain the same if FSU were in the B1G or ACC.
Fickell, since he looks like Sandler in the movie and they are both buckeyes (I'm lazy so won't look this up, but assume they were together as coaches at the same time at OSU).
I say this as a former Warde apologist. He needs to be gone, yesterday. He hasn't done a thing for athletics at Michigan, other than luck into Harbaugh being fired by the 49ers.
The bottom line is that Harbaugh's #1 choice is an NFL job with specific conditions and nobody knows if any owner will give him this, so we wait. It's not about Warde or a clause for arbitration. Michigan want's Harbaugh and Michigan is Harbaugh's #2 choice (behind the perfect NFL job).

Do we know non-conference games yet?

Michigan won't pay players to show up on campus, but will pay them to stay/perform.
Kentucky probably offered a "signing bonus" + some BS guarantee and the kid jumped.
So he'll get a degree from Arkansas in 2 semesters?
Oh man, I woke up my newborn by screaming during that game.
Braylonfest! Henne, Hart, Avant, Long, and of course Braylon
Mine was Braylonfest.
The bad news is that they are loaded for next year.
At least it’s not leaking like Rudy’s.
Can't you only transfer 60 as a max, since it's 120 to graduate and they want at least 2 "years" at Michigan?
What happens to the ACC & B12?
He went to USC, because Pete Carrol organized his mom getting a house. Just like Cam Newtown went to Auburn because they paid his dad $150,000.

Would he have gotten it back if he were not a primary analyst for Fox Sports?
Jalen Berger is in the Portal as well.
Not sure if it's out yet, but the new VW bus. It's cool (for a van) and fits my needs perfectly.
I know the question stated unlimited budget, but $100K for that thing is insane. I'd go Land Cruiser or the Lexus version for a giant luxury SUV.
FAU reporter JJ Metz is 11 years old. Maybe we shouldn't put much trust in a pre-teen?
All jokes aside, #1 is a complete mystery.
I don't watch MLB anymore and know few actual players, but Ohtani is one of them. He's the face of MLB and they will protect him.
Makes no sense. They practiced and played together all season.
Is there any journalism that isn't sensationalist? Even the NYT is guilty (just read their political headlines).
He had heart surgery in mid-September and should not have coached at all this season (just recruited and low-stress activities) and have come back in full next year.
Why 0.08? Why not any amount of alcohol? Why isn’t booze tested? Was the officer’s machine calibrated correctly? Was there probably cause?
Do you give a shit?
The 3 body problem is an awful audiobook.

Get your colonoscopy or at least a Cologuard (that's just sending a sample in the mail).
Does “all cap” mean all crap?

He ain't leaving.
Didn't watch college sports growing up, but liked the Michigan colors and then went to Michigan.

Warde fucked this up too. He has to go.
Jay Wright? He beat us (when we were good) 2X.
We don't know who we are losing on D to the portal God.
Warde would have issued an apology and offered Petitti a 3 game suspension for Coach Moore and our new TBD OC.
If the NCAA tries to touch that UT, they will have the state AG, Governor, Senators... shut down the NCAA.
This may just be an indication that the Ravens style D has jumped the shark. Now that coaches have 6+ months to study film, it may be time to move on.
No, the funniest part is that his screen name was... "Kayshonboutte01"
This guy bet on games he played in (and I'm sure none of his teammates knew and he never bragged/showed off his money).
Nothing will happen. The SEC won't do anything, the NCAA won't do anything, but Jimmy buys a kid a burger and gets 3 games.
Wouldn't that piss you off? No wonder why he's in the NFL and the SEC will rise again.
Yes, and unlikely.
…
Better question is who is
1) OC
2) DC
3) ST coach
4) S&C coach, assuming Herbert leaves, which he’ll at least get an offer from Harbaugh.
What didn’t he do? Harbaugh was offered the highest contract ever for a coach and was given an arbitration panel.
Harbaugh wants a Super Bowl, especially since his brother has one and maybe two.
I'm not saying anything about the job Warde has done, but he didn’t run Jimmy out of town and you have zero “proof”.
Can we finally agree that this is not on Warde or Michigan or NCAA sanctions?
Harbaugh wants a shot at the Super Bowl and he's not stupid so will only go into a great situation. If he get's it, he's out. Otherwise, he's ours.

Having a soft coach and a bunch of rich, 5* guys with huge egos has never backfired, right?
Honestly, aside from a guy like Saban, I'm not sure what other coach could keep the locker room from being toxic (Jimbo clearly failed).
It's Iowa. Nobody gives a s**t about Iowa (seriously).
Did Iowa even get any blowback when their coaches were yelling racial slurs at minority football players? Nope, because nobody cares about Iowa.
The bottom line is that Harbaugh's #1 choice is an NFL job with specific conditions and nobody knows if any owner will give him this, so we wait. It's not about Warde or a clause for arbitration. Michigan want's Harbaugh and Michigan is Harbaugh's #2 choice (behind the perfect NFL job).
We need the OSU optics of trying to buy a natty for $12M to 18 year old kids.
