It seems like you’ve got my position on this whole scenario mistaken.
All I provided was facts. Michigan does not drop bags for incoming freshman. They’ve made it crystal clear. Recruits have made it clear. The staff has made it clear.
“I don't know how much I really have an opinion on that,” Harbaugh said. “Right or wrong, our philosophy coming to the University of Michigan — it's still going to be a transformational experience rather than a transactional experience.”
That’s a direct quote on NIL from Jim Harbaugh.
But what I think you’re misunderstanding is that I (as a fan) wish they’d drop bags. I’m not one of these uppity UM fans that think they’re above that. I get wanting to keep camaraderie, and having a good bond between the fellas, but I’m sure a happy medium can be found.
As for promises.. yea. That’s pretty much what Michigan is living on. Guys like Corum and Edwards and JJ are eating TEAL good off of NIL, but nobody’s going hungry. They all get NIL. Harbaugh made that his mission and apparently it’s all good, because from starters to backups, everybody’s happy. Obviously some guys are just gonna eat more. That’s just the way of the world.
