- Looks like ND Center Pat Coogan is expected to take a visit to Ann Arbor this weekend. Will Rocco be with him? Reports are he is trending to Nebraska.
- Chris Ash to ND as DC is done.
- There is not a lot of buzz around Chip Kelly and the NFL. He might now stay in Columbus.
- Looking like Mason Graham might be drafted higher then Will Johnson. I think the injury and missing games might have hurt Will's draft stock a bit. A good showing at the combine might get him back in the top 10 range. If you notice, many mock drafts come out on Wednesday to give the talking heads something to discuss. Right now, it looks like Michigan could have four 1st rounders. Graham around #5, Johnson 10-15 range, Grant in the 20's, and Loveland late in round 1.
- Michigan's sugar daddy Larry Ellison lost Billions in the recent Oracle stock price drop. We can still count on your NIL $$$ for that 5 star? Right? 😁
- OSU loses to Michigan, wins a Peach Bowl Championship, and lost -$38M in revenue in the athletic department.
- Funny how none of the media outlets picked up the Signgate response. Only Ohio State fans and Brett Bielema cares. On a side note, if the New Orleans Saints called Brett today, you think he would take the call?

I do think him missing so much of the season did hurt WJs draft stock. He also looked a step slower when he did play. Now maybe that was injury related, but NFL scouts notice that stuff. Also, if I'm building a D, I'm putting a premium on the DL and getting after the QB and causing disruption in the backfield. It why its so rare for a CB to be top 5.
I don't think Michigan can count on going to the Larry Ellison well too often. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if it was a one off!
Chowman would donate some money to NIL?
NO! I think the whole NIL thing has gotten out of hand and needs some guard rails. Full disclosure, I was all for players taking advantage of their own name, image, and likeness. But I didn't envision this. I thought max they would get $50K over their college career, maybe for an exceptional athlete, 6 figures. Seven figures for 1 year is insane. You have ok college players getting paid like pro players and in some cases better than the pros. We've lost cabin pressure
Yes Chowman, you explained it well. The changes in football NIL is equivalent to some horror movie, that a child brings home this tiny, adorable creature. Only to find in time > it grows into a savage monster, and they all have to hide from it. Like Covid perhaps, probably started in the Chinese lab. broke quarantine and took over the world in a manner of a few months. Did anyone expect this outcome? Has the NCAA done anything yet.... or their still tied up with more important things like 2 cheeseburgers? The heads of NCAA are preverts, they play with themselves as they watch someone hump their wives/
The NCAA was vehemently against NIL but you had state politicians get involved and pass laws allowing it, so the NCAA just threw there hands up and said eff it. Look, I'm not defending the NCAA, its a useless organization. But anytime you get politicians involved its going to be a shit show!
