There's truth in this statement, but I feel you can win with a pocket passer when you have an elite OL.

🤣 Yes. Please...

Hoke bleeds Maize and Blue as well. His coaching ability doesn’t affect his love for the university.

@@markmudget3794 Fair enough.

Soon

I have to agree with you on Underwood. I would not have wanted Michigan to pay him what LSU paid. He was out played in the state tittle game last season. He is good, and can get better, but right now, I beleive there are others better.

Reminds me of 90s Coach K days at Duke before he started taking the prima Dan 1 and dones. More stable program and still won chips.

There is truth to this, but there has been some evolution already with Michigan's NIL since the settlement. Lets see how OV season goes

1000… change or die off like the dinosaurs. Their “moral high ground” philosophy is unhinged. Why swim up river and devalue your brand, especially coming off the momentum! This type of management mantra has never worked at any point in sports history. Their lack of self awareness with historical ignorance to change is insane.

It's often sobering when it comes to our recruiting 😒

Im assuming they're throwing the ball more

I had a feeling TJ was being fed some serious propaganda the moment he said “top to bottom Michigan is going to start paying their incoming freshman and that Santa Ono has signed off on it”. Like seriously guys. How many times are you going to believe this stuff before you start realizing it’s propaganda. When a insider tells me woah big changes to Nil coming I laugh it off. Now he’s saying SM isn’t on board. What’s next weeks take. Look I love this show and think TJ Is a awesome listen but don’t get my hopes up unless you have a real source or link you can share.

@@bolytle5507 The university keeps saying things are being implemented regarding NIL and nothing ever noticeably improves. I know I'm not the only one who won't believe it until we see it. I understand they kept the guys on the roster after the title and the one more year fund last year. I applaud them for that. But this recruiting could REALLY tank with a first time head coach and our athletic department apparently not wanting to pay the best players competitively. I'm sure that there are kids that really want to play here but they can't justify being offered nothing here when you can play elsewhere for a couple hundred thousand dollars. Why can't we at LEAST pay the key guys you want to build the class around? With new ruling saying we can pay players directly, what happens when Michigan virtue signals the money into the sports that generate zero revenue instead of football. Then what will recruiting be like when the programs that CARE more about football are actually putting their money where their mouth is, taking care of every player on their team while we're offering a transformational experience and the lint in my pocket? Michigan is not a hotbed of highs school football talent like TX, CA, OH, GA, LA. We can't rely on that. We lost CJ Carr, Dante Moore, Bryce Underwood from out own state. I can't say that I trust these people to get better players. We won a natty with pre NIL guys. Now what will UM do? Have to wait and see.

Appreciate the feedback Bolytle, Let me say this, I have received a 2nd source confirming the intel we brought to the show a week ago. The 2nd source told me this via txt "You think Dusty is allowed to guarantee contracts but not Sherrone?" The hurdle I think that Michigan faces now is not just guaranteeing contracts, but HOW MUCH are they guaranteeing? an that I don't know. Jaylen Williams canceling his OV with Miami, and Mariyon Dye canceling his OV with Georgia when we weren't even in his top 6, now both are taking OVs to Michigan this weekend. All after we dropped our update on NIL, I don't think is a coincidence. Time will tell, - Tj

The hammer?

@@MichiganVOCFB…well, probably scholarship limitations and no post season play for a couple of years at minimum. Or, it could be much worse.

The hammer?

The big bowl ban with scholarships taken away lol

Maybe you could if you're player's spent less time raping and sexual assaults lmfao

Are you drunk? They won the natty.

Correct

No

Some schools will cancel some non revenue sports

💰💰💰💵💵💵

He knows *ichigan will get the big ban lmfao

An ass can't laugh its ass off, it's still an ass

With revenue sharing schools are going to look to get multi year agreements. If agreements are not held then contracts are void.

@@MichiganVOCFB Schools can look, but players do not have to sign anything. Schools MUST award each player's share of revenue. If they don't it's not revenue "sharing". With that said, I can't think of a reason why schools can't share revenue on a yearly basis, one month at a time. Which would be to their benefit

Not if he’s playing the next ‘21-23 O line or the next Blake Corum .. because that got us the Natty..

@@shanehilliard125 He does not have the next 21-23 O-line. In each of those 3 years did U of M lose the top 7 O-linemen?? DO NOT insult Corum saying there is another of him on the roster Did Warde Manuel just admit Michigan is guilty?

National Championship says otherwise

NCAA made it legal, did you miss the settlement?

@@MichiganVOCFB NIL was legal before that. If you've read the NCAA Statement, NIL was not mentioned. THUS status quo on NIL

Taxi, how much did it cost to enter that dumbest man on earth contest you're trying so hard to win???

You mean overrated?

Michigan has been paying players. What are you talking about? Go read about how much Will Johnson took to come to your school.

Prove it

We need to pay them like other teams. I’m a lifelong huge Michigan fan but those let two teams were special off the field and mentally. It will be very hard to get near that without getting top 10 recruiting classes

Exactly. Texas, USC, Miami haven't won anything.

They will, but by guaranteeing instead of projecting money. it helps Michigan be more competitive for "program fits". They're not going to be Texas A&M or Miami, they will still have their approach just more modernized.

​@@MichiganVOCFB I hope so. Players thar jump ship every year for the highest $ are everything Michigan wasn't. They destroy culture and team first.

@@MichiganVOCFB There is NO "guaranteeing"

@@scottlaux6934 Didn't the 2 assistant coaches that were fired for Drunk Driving take a hit on "culture" ?

​@@taxisquad11You really love to troll these guys.

But that’s to retain players, Ohio payed for players outside of the program

Last season, 2023 Michigan had a 4 million dollar NIL budget that won the national championship used for player retainment, for the 2024 season Michigan is currently at 11.5 million.

@rowdyness2440 but osu still basically did the same thing and the last time I've checked isn't this the nil era? It's legal and they only had 6 players from the portal and mich had 9. Osu had 2 of the best players coming out of portal of course you going to have to pay them and they are proven. You telling me mich didn't pay none of them 9 players?

@MichiganVOCFB osu did the same thing with 13mil so what's your point?

@rowdyness2440 they followed the same blueprint but yet you have lane kiffin gaslighting like 13 mil was going to transfer players sounds disingenuous don't you think 🤔

Agree, there're still hurdles even with guaranteeing contracts.

@@MichiganVOCFB contracts are not required

@@MichiganVOCFB Currently in college football AND basketball, there is no such thing as "guaranteeing contracts"

@taxisquad11 You are correct. It is the Wild West, and it can't last. It will all be more structured within a year or two. Otherwise, coaches won't stick around.

@@markceci9896 Don't bet on it. The NCAA and the US Congress are too chicken to do anything. IF there becomes a Super Conference, they'd have 100 things more pressing to work on. Day will stick around with OSU's NIL Program. You do think Sherrone will stick with his big contract? BTW did Warde Manuel just admit Michigan is guilty?

Our offense wasn't balanced last year?

@CertifiedClapaholic not really it was more 60 run 40 pass you know that

@@CertifiedClapaholic it’s not just the percentage of the time you pass it’s how you do it. Dumping the ball off to RB’s and throwing 5 yard outs to TE’s is not appealing nor does it showcase NFL QB talent.

@@amosautomotivepaintrestora1948 but it won a championship has been a style that has won championships for decades. Why does it need to change?

@ammielcoats9762 If you think you should be running and passing 50% of the time in order to play optimal football, then you don't understand football. Nothing about our offense was out of balance.

There is conversation about multi year deals with the purpose to limit portal entry.

No one can MAKE recruits you give money to sign a contract. There is NOTHING in the NCAA statement about "contracts" . If anyone tries to make a kid sign a contract, they'll just go elsewhere and find MANY schools who will not make them sign a contract. Until the NCAA or the US congress gets tough, the players have complete control. AND those 2 entities are chicken as hell, afraid of lawsuits

Money or not but bryce was right about mich.

@@ammielcoats9762How so?

@markceci9896 you saw the recent interview on why he didn't chose mich?

@ammielcoats9762 Yes. He believes in the numbers game. That is fine. Remember, the NFL is not as pass happy as some of these colleges. I believe the pendulum is swinging back to running and power. UM does it more than the NFL does, so, it was too much for him.

@markceci9896 mahomes disagrees and these wr's like Justin Jefferson and cee-dee lamb with three big contracts also. Don't get me wrong they're teams that shows they can win or compete for a SB playing that running style. Ravens,niners for example but overall it's a pass happy league.

Nobody good is coming here for 50k 🤣

​@@RICOJEEZUS bro UM doesn't give af about football. I've put myself at ease when I learned to just accept that. We aren't even willing to pay the best players from our own state! It's irresponsible af. This arrogance they have is maddening.

Soon we're gonna be the Walmart 2nd Shift All Star Squad with this awesome recruiting 😂

Blake would've been good on anyone's team in the top 25. We don't have magical powers 🤣

@@iidentifyasanapple8932 yeah, Corum would be good anywhere with a decent o line. Michigan isn't the only team who makes their players better.

Michigan is not that special

Yeah I doubt that. They don't want to pay anyone.
