This the best part of this entire mess. Moore has a potential elite QB dropped in his lap and has no idea what to do with it.

And had nothing to do with getting him to campus

Can we just remove the word college from anything associated with NIL because this is beyond ridiculous!

Yeah, the annoying/concerning thing is that apparently Larry Ellison cares about Michigan football, and that means the rest of us are screwed because he can singlehandedly outspend the combined efforts of everybody else.

As well as a depleted roster after taking hits to the NFL draft & transfer portal. Not to mention a NOA sitting in his lap from the NCAA concerning the sign stealing scandal.

What is crazy is that Larry Ellison graduated from Illinois. It's the wife Jolin pushing the buttons here & got him involved in the Underwood recruitment. Dude probably gives zero fricks about Michigan. He's only doing it because of his wife.

The most absurd part of this is that Larry Ellison isn’t even a Michigan alum. Hell I don’t know if he even lives in Michigan. I’m pretty sure he lives on an island (that he owns) in Hawaii.

Instead, Larry Ellison only gives a shite about Michigan football because his 5th wife - who he apparently just married - is a Michigan alum and doesn’t want them to suck.

I mean.. holy hell.

There's nothing to prove that LSU got played. It seems like this was a case of Michigan having more money than we do. Nothing to get mad at the kid for. The number and opportunity was too good to pass up. Best wishes, unless we play against him.

He used LSU for leverage. I’m not saying that’s wrong, but that’s what happened.

This is beyond dumb. Underwood had a staggering amount of offers. If the objective was about using LSU to drive up a potential NIL contract, why not commit to a school like Texas that is known to have more resources? Or a rival like Ohio St who were huge spenders last offseason? This long con copium theory is beyond ridiculous. Matter of fact, it sounds even more ridiculous when in throw in the fact that not long after Underwood committed, Brian Kelly had the quote that LSU was not in the business of buying players.

Good point. Also a huge part of this is Michigan sucks at football and has the worst qb situation in the country. Which is why Portnoy came out and said all that shite about paying for a QB.

Care to rebutt any of my points? You can't.

BK's slow adjustments and "process" are draining the life out of the program.
