Dave pledged $3M, I believe. The rest is coming from a billionaire whose wife is a Michigan grad(?)

You probably wouldn’t turn down $12,000,000 because that’s more than you’re going to make in your entire life, but LSU was going to pay him very well and we have multiple QB’s in the NFL who are going to make $100,000,000+ in their careers. I would’ve definitely turned down the Michigan money considering how much it’s going to cost him in the long run

Yea right. Your 18-year-old self would've taken the money.

Who’s to say his commitment to LSU wasn’t just a tactic to get Michigan to pony up to his desired number? He can say all the right things, look like he’s coming to LSU, come to BR multiple times, but in the back of his mind, he always knew he was going to Michigan. Larry Ellison is worth 190 billion. He was going to stroke whatever check was needed after Underwood played hard to get.

I don't see how anyone can blame Underwood for taking that kind of money.
However, I lived in Ann Arbor for 10 years. I know how awful the weather can be, and I do hope it is miserable for every home game, and he has to perform in it. Bad, cold weather can make high level QB play extremely difficult....I know from first hand experience.

They could easily rein it in. Originally, the intent was supposed to be that if an athlete had an opportunity to get paid for a commercial, an endorsement, jersey sales, etc.. he was able to be paid. That was the spirit of the law. It was never supposed to be outright buying sla… I mean players. They just have to go back to the original intent, have some type of legitimate entity that approves the opportunity and it’s fixed. This entity would easily just say ummm 12 million? No, not gonna pass.

I don’t know exactly what hiding $12 million means

He wouldn't have exactly made peanuts here, he would have made very good money. He might make a couple more mil a year at Michigan but if he slips a few rounds because Michigan can't develop him or show off his talent because of the offense they run he will lose more getting drafted in the later rounds.

They had arguably the best NFL QB of all time and did so well with him he was drafted in the 6th round. That's not something I'd brag about.

This looks very shady.

This piece either (a) does a very bad job of explaining the details of this supposedly "missing" money; or (b) is bizarrely clueless/misinformed about the absolute most basic, fundamental aspects of NIL.
The headline (which tbf is not usually written by the author of the piece) is "Michigan Accused of Hiding NIL Funds as $12m Bryce Underwood Move Puts Sherrone Moore's Side Under Scrutiny"... but literally the only supporting facts provided in the article were that (1) Michigan's collective was omitted from some random list of the top 10 richest collectives; and (2) some minor youtube sportstalk show that I've never heard of discussed the list and suggested that Michigan/Michigan's collective must be holding back information regarding its NIL funding.
All of this, of course, blatantly overlooks the remarkably obvious fact that not all NIL money comes from collectives - which is *such* an obvious explanation for the "hidden" money that it almost makes ME question whether IM the one who is somehow missing something. Though of course the better explanation is probably just that this is straightforwardly clickbait (albeit borderline libelous clickbait).
tl;dr: This article is complete nonsense clickbait.

There's the real possibility that he's a bust and never makes it to the NFL or goes late and doesnt get that big deal. That's not what we expect but who knows how his college career plays out. Look at Quinn Ewers. When he was a 5 star 1.000 #1 player in his class did we expect he'd be a 7th round pick with $0 in guaranteed money? shite Ewerr would have been better off chasing that NIL money this year.
Michigan got stupid with their NIL money and regardless of how Underwoods college career plays out, he's a multi millionaire. Can't blame him. He wouldn't be the first 5 star QB who didn't match the hype. Cash in big as you can on that 5 star status.

It’s common knowledge that the $12M for Underwood came from one individual, not a collective.

I hate to say it, but this. There’s no guarantee that Underwood will play to the level to make himself a 1st round pick. 5 star QBs fail to live up to expectations all the time. You know what is guaranteed? That he’d get $12 million to go to Michigan, regardless how he turns out as a college QB and because of that, he’ll never have to work a “real job” a day in his life.
