congrats to the brother for getting the job. but what exactly is the course for an Adjunct NIL Professor
reading further this seem like a course you'd take in general studies or something
“It’s vitally important to teach future athlete advocates, agents, and attorneys how to best represent their athlete clients. Zealous advocacy is vital, but too often athletes aren’t given a say in how they are represented. By having a former college athlete and current professional athlete co-teach the class with me, we will begin to construct a system where both athletes and advocates best know how to interact and support each other. We will be shaping a whole new generation of informed advocates and inform athletes so the sports industry as a whole is elevated to a more human level. Athletes are humans first.”

Michigan is off to a slower start on the recruiting trail in 2023, not what you’d expect from a loaded team coming off a Big Ten championship. Many fans are trying to make sense of it, but the answer seems obvious.
RELATED: Michigan & Juwan Howard adapting to the times- will football follow?
Here are three facts about Michigan and Name, Image and Likeness, two things to watch heading into July and one opinion.
Several have their “people” with them, as well, advising them. And while N.I.L. isn’t supposed to stand for “pay for play,” that’s exactly what it’s become. And it’s being marketed that way, with lawyers and agents having gotten involved.
One, Michael Caspino, boasts he has “most of the five-stars, and over 100 kids.” And that essentially leaves scraps for the folks not willing to work with him. If you’re not willing to be transactional in some form, you’re going to be left behind.
2. Does U-M develop a relationship with Caspino and others? And if not, how does that affect recruiting — and the program going forward? As we’ve seen, it can be detrimental if they don’t. Caspino recently helped negotiate a $9.5 million deal for elite quarterback Jaden Rashada (who chose Miami). He also said it was less that what others, including Florida, were offering.
From On3:
“Florida is the most dysfunctional collective in all of college football,” said Caspino, the architect behind the alleged $8 million deal that sources told FootballScoop Knoxville-based Spyre Sports had proffered another Caspino client, five-star quarterback Nico Iamaleava, a Tennessee Vols’ commitment. “I plan on steering my clients away from them.
“From my standpoint, I never ever want to deal with them again. If it weren’t for the collective that’s completely dysfunctional at Florida, (Rashada) probably would have been there.”
In other words … you want to be on his good side. And you’d better not get on his bad side.
1. Is it obvious now that Michigan is playing from behind? No doubt about it.
What that means for the future of the program isn’t clear, at least long term. And the short-term … the last two recruiting classes have been outstanding, and the team is in great shape for the next few years.
But short-term recruiting has taken a hit, at least in the early going, and Michigan is essentially going to be fighting for scraps until its collective gets serious. Programs desperate for relevance — some once great looking to regain past glory, some with big-money boosters — now have an opening they didn’t before.
Caspino mentioned six programs whose collectives he felt were best run: Miami, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas, and Michigan State. Even the Spartans are starting to land four-star recruits as a result.
Now, it’s about timing. As N.I.L. continues to take off, schools will find it’s not one way to do things. It’s the only way. And then, as the playing field levels out monetarily, perhaps stuff that’s mattered before — tradition, prestige, even academics — will be the difference makers again.
1. College football as we knew it is dead (obviously). Remember the days of Bo Schembechler preaching ‘The Team, The Team, The Team’ and saying, you’ll never play for a team again. You’ll play for a contract?”
Well, it’s over. Is it only a matter of time before it applies to high school athletes, as well? And there are a handful of programs in every state who simply buy the best team on an annual basis?
It stinks. Period. It’s semipro ball without a salary cap. What once used to be a game played for the fun of it is all business, pretty much at all levels.
Football foots the bill for one of the country’s top athletic departments. It’s been a source of pride forever, and nobody wants to see that change.
But the longer they wait to play catch-up, the harder it’s going to be. They also need leadership and organization, and they need it now.

Three questions involving Michigan and N.I.L.
3. Will Michigan change its approach now that it’s clear NIL is taking over recruiting? We’ve written columns, mentioned many times how head coach Jim Harbaugh preaches U-M being “transformational, not transactional.” It’s clear, though, that it’s not resonating on the recruiting trail.

2. Michigan will get it together, and the last note above is why. There are proud (and loaded) boosters who would have a hard time stomach playing second-fiddle to the Spartans.

There will be a correction at some point — probably when a handful of high-profile kids flame out, or locker rooms are affected.

For all we know Texas A&M recruiting class can be a total failure and their boosters are looking stupid for spending all that breadMichigan is off to a slower start on the recruiting trail in 2023, not what you’d expect from a loaded team coming off a Big Ten championship.

Yea, you're right. And that's what Michigan people are quietly saying. They'd rather start a little slow out the gate, and not have to do a bunch of damage control that other schools might have to do.
Problem is, I don't see anybody in the NCAA holding ANY of these teams accountable. They never have, if we're being real.

What has Mich hoops/Juwan done with NIL? If they’ve done something, why is the university disallowing football to do the same, or something similar?
All due respect to the author of that statement, but idk if quoting Bo Schembeckler, an enabler of what became the largest sex scandal in ncaa history is something that should be done…
Furthermore “the team” concept has been forever changed once the NFL became what it is now and college ball became about getting to the pros first and foremost. Sure there’s some guys that will never sniff the nfl that are willing to die on the field, but the vast majority of D1 athletes, especially P5 have the goal of making the pros and the rest is secondary.
What’s stopping one of the NIL boosters from aTm (atm takes on a whole different meaning now) with seemingly unlimited NIL funds, from just sitting back and telling recruits to go get they best offers from around the country, show us and we’ll beat the offer….?

I'm not sure what Juwan's done differently, if anything to be honest. I know that a primary reason for Diabate and Houstan leaving for the draft is because international students can't sign NIL deals. shyt makes no sense whatsoever. And one of our latest commits is French or some shyt, and now we're looking at a Scottish pass rusher. I don't know man.. fukk Harbaugh. That's all I got.

Jw bc the OP said “MI & Juwan adapting to the times - will fb follow”
Led me to believe Juwan had done it is doing some nil stuff that football in particular was neglecting.
Does Harbaugh have some stance on nil, whether for or against?
Wasn’t one of the reasons he was looking to leave CFB was he felt the school wasn’t doing enough with nil and he felt he was playing behind the 8ball? (Idk if this is true or just rumors)
I’m basically trying to figure out if it’s Harbaugh that’s against nil, or if that’s a purported stance to stand by the university?
Or if harb is for it but his hands are tied?
OR if both harb AND school are NOT on board?
