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?
I don't have the definitive answer to all those questions, but after reading a shyt load of insider posts, I can say this much. I assume that Harbaugh's all about the kids getting paid. The school is saying that they want the same, but they want to do it the right way. We're getting conflicting reports on how Michigan is running its NIL. Some parents say that they love the school's NIL presentation, and other parents are tryna get paid off rip, and technically that's not 'legal' by NCAA rules.. so its a no go for UM.
I'm leaning towards the school not doing enough to help the kids get started. Hunter dikkinson came out and said so himself. He's said that he's done everything to do with his NIL earnings on his own. (And with a family lawyer)
So I don't fully blame Harbs.. but I also think he has the power to make substantial change right away, but he's not flexing enough muscle. If this doesn't change, and FAST.. we're gonna lose coaches like Moore, Clinkscale, Bellamy, Minter, Elston, and Helow (all of our best recruiters) after this season. They'll wanna go somewhere that's serious about winning and I wouldn't blame them.
