It’s a great comment that they make on this video. SEC schools are all of a sudden going to want to regulate the spending. They didn’t give a shit when they were the only teams paying.
Could be, but they have to be careful because they could also open the door to schools in the other conferences to catch up. I think they're more likely to have some kind of 'gentleman's agreement' with the B1G so they get maximum benefit without helping other schools outside the B1G and SEC.
Exactly...their pay for play backed by a few car dealership donors the past 15+ years is no match for the massive alumni bases and donors of most of the big ten.
@@GeraldMothershed That was most intriguing to me, because Texas is right there with the B1G powers as far as having powerful donors who can up the ante. Are they going to go along with the other SEC teams to try and cap donor spending now that they can flex some power? Interesting to watch.

It does kind of make sense. The best talent is in the south. But NIL put the bag man out of business, making the playing field for paying players more flat. Interesting times fasho !!!!
You're right about the school's money. Texas and Texas A&M have endowments north of 40 billion, Michigan is under 20 billion. HOWEVER Michigan has a single donor with more money that both schools total endowments and all of their donors combined, but that doesn't really matter. At the end of the day there will be a limit to what any individual is willing to pay for an unproven high school talent. Texas and Texas A&M are among a short list of college programs that have more than enough resources to secure any player they like.
Funny how the SEC was paying guys under the table and all of the sudden when Michigan or OSU has tons of money to buy players the SEC starts saying we need to cap NIL.
This just in ... Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss & Tennessee have just canceled their respective 2026 football schedules on account of The Big Ten member schools having just bought out all their current talent. School officials are now inquiring with the NAIA for conference affiliation possibilities ... ads in undergrad student newspapers for football players to be forthcoming. 😂
11:13 the last two years I really believe that if the playing field was more even the SEC doesn’t have the advantage. Just like the nfl more balanced, it’s hard for other teams todominate. Steve is probably right. It’s just like politics all of a sudden booster regulations will get put into place just watch it happens every day.
I do miss the arrogance of the Big Ten from living up North I guess. It’s one player. Anytime something good happens they believe it’s because they are in fact better than you. I mean Alabama just flipped one of their recruits within the last 48 hours.
Trust- the conferences are going to place a cap on spending to leverage the playing field- just like the NFL. Then the players will have to decide where they really want to play and it ain't up north.
If they let them college, football is not exactly organized. what if the big 10 doesn’t want that and they say screw you SEC what’s the SEC gonna do go off and do whatever you want then I guess
I also really think you need to shut up because they’re not going to let them put in a cap. Why would they do that? They would curb name image and likeness and they will be an argument over that you just have no idea what you’re talking about randomly blur out all just put a cab and then people stay in the south. Fuck the south.
So when Florida offers Rashada, an also ran qb maybe top 100 recruit $13mn it's back page news (expected) but when Michigan offers the top recruit in his class and hometown kid $10-12mn the spending is out of control? Get off it.
18:56 exactly thank you Steve exactly yeah let’s just give up our advantage that we just discover why not we’ll play ball. 🏈 With a level playing field Southern schools can’t actually compete as they used to .
Miller Moss won’t go to a place he’s at risk of being a backup. As much as I’d love him to rock the Maize and Blue uniform, he’s too good to accept the risk of being benched by an all star freshman.
And listen to what we’re saying about college football this ain’t college football. This is semi pro ball without the contracts. They have ruined college football.
They just need to take the 40 best teams , even the salary cap and put them in a semi pro league together. No point in beating around the bush acting like these kids are here to take classes. These crazy ass college fans don’t want their QB taking classes. They want them focused on the GAME. It’s a shame but it’s reality . We embraced reality by paying these guys. Let’s embrace it one step further. Make this a semi pro league
This actually makes UM look worse 😂 it took 12mil to convince a kid from Michigan to de-commit from a reeling LSU team and stay home lol. OSU has continuously out-recruited every SEC team not named UGA or BAMA. Oregon is currently out-recruiting pretty much every SEC team. Nobody in SEC is worried 😂
0:52 last week Steve was on Mark show on the voice of college football who is also on his shows on Tuesdays and Steve was like yeah I’m not worried it’s gonna happen. Stone cold, just like yeah just just wait. It’ll happen.
What happens if dude gets most of it up front and transfers before the season or next year? Thats crazy. The NCAA is like the wild west. They cant do anything about it.
@outdoorsman909 then why don't they have a top 5 class? The SEC has 4 teams currently in the top 5 of recruiting ... 6 in the top 7.... the lone top 5 non SEC team is Ohio State
They need to streamline this shit and turn the ncaa into a legit semi pro league with contracts. I know I sounds crazy but it’s the reality of the situation. Being a college football player is so far removed from the concept of “college” it’s insulting to pretend they should be at the school for anything more than to play football. It’s clear they’re not. No more beating around the bush
This is the same dude who just two years ago was whining that Alabama and Georgia had an insurmountable recruiting advantage. He knows essentially nothing.
They did. NIL wasnt at this level, nor was Michigan willing to pay HS players, only Transfer Portal targets and players they developed. Jim Harbaugh isnt the coach anymore either, he didnt want to pay players millions straight out of HS. Moore is now the coach and Michigan has changed tactics, throwing money at both now.

I think this is an important point. No matter the spending power of a school or any of their donors, there is a limit to the value anyone will place on an unproven high school talent.
Until they realize how much they’re about to get taxed up north 😂. Student Athletes are gonna say yeah ima sit it down here in Texas, Arizona, Florida… Put it in insurance all you want but them boys want the cash up front not paid up in whole life policies 😅
This is the dumbest headline I have ever heard. Underwood is from Michigan. They overpaid for him LOL. He should have never left the state to begin with LOL. This speaks to the disarray of what's going on in Michigan. Moore is gone at the end of the year. With that being said, I am actually happy for Michigan, Underwood and the state of Michigan. NIL works and the NFL should go to this. Now, all Underwood needs is a coaching staff. $12 million is too much to turn down considering he can get hurt over the next 4yrs at LSU. With no coaching, he has put himself behind the 8 ball with getting that second NFL $600 million dollar deal in the NFL.
15:59 that’s all life goes as soon as the pocket gets hit. People are all up in arms. What if the big 10 doesn’t wanna play ball like that huh? What if we don’t want it what if we say you’ve had that advantage for forever and we want to keep it more of a level playing field you want to go do your own thing go for it nobody likes you anyway. is to make plenty of money with or without the SEC figure as soon as it starts like we can’t do this anymore bunch of hypocrites
@ name a donor that has deeper pockets than Larry Ellison. Michigan has almost 30 billionaires for Alumni. Texas is wealthy, but I think you are barking up the wrong tree.
I think the sec fans in general need to understand. Im a northerner who moved down south. The hard facts is the north trumps anything money wise in the south. NYC alone by itself does. Then throw in Chicago, Philly, Boston etc. The south has atlanta and miami basically. Aside from texas which is its own world. Palm beach is all NYC money. Staten island is bigger than miami. If the north starts tossing dollars watch out. ND michigan ohio state will go crazy
"the north" doesn't care about football. You think NYC is going to start backing Minnesota because of their latitude? Why are football fans just the worst about figuring out how things are actually going to go?
@TMan-uw5rb I agree with your point. They love basketball and hockey and other sports , pro football especially..but what I'm saying is if the money people from those areas get involved, theyve got the cash
I hope you have money for the OL, WRs and RBs. Did I mention the 11 Defensive players. The southern states being “poor” is an incorrect angle. THE FANS will be a huge NIL source. The “poor” southern fans will contribute to their school’s NIL. They will buy products and donate any amount of money needed. It’s not 1865, the poor south can fund whatever the wealthy north can. 1 more thing, how good do you want to be in basketball and the other sports? You can’t fund everything. Now both conferences are on even ground. That’s a good thing. I like it when IU is good in football and Alabama is good in basketball.
Jag-off, get your facts right; Pinocchio was not outspent. And you love a narcissist's support of another. Spoiled brats are what Muskrat and Pinocchio are, says Yoda.
In my opinion it’s all going to come down to who is willing to spend $15-20 million a year to lose for the next decade unless changes are made. That is the problem. I’d imagine every team would pay that to win. How many schools have fan bases crazy enough about football to drop $200 million over the next decade to every year to Texas or Bama or UGA? I’m pretty certain that OSU would do it and not even think about it. If UM is opening up the bank accounts you can expect OSU to continue to. Then you have to wonder will Michigan State get something going? I know nothing about them financially but I know they hate losing to UM. I can’t imagine PSU will want to be dominated every year either. Just in the big 10 when you add in USC UCLA and Oregon that’s 7 schools because I can’t imagine either California school is going to be willing to be left behind and Oregon has one donor who can pay that amount every year by himself. Should be a lot of fun.
The only reason Bryce did not want any part of Michigan is because the way horrible ran the program. You can't recruit a great five Star quarterback who is willing to hand the ball off 60 to 70% of the time. You have to have a legit receivers that Michigan does not have and will be forced to get now, you have to have a legit offensive line to protect him, and you have to have a substantially better defense in the back end. This is only the start but Michigan has no choice now but to put its money where its mouth is.
Hot take from the dude who whinged on Blaze live that Kamala was going to win the election after the debate. There's a reason I turn on Benny Johnson after the Glenn Beck daily show is over at noon.
Michigan and Ohio state been paying players for years, stop it. Did you ever see Schembechler Hall parking lot in the late 2000’s and 2010’s??? That’s Michigan football practice facility on campus if you didn’t know- I grew up there, let’s stop lying about what actually happened in D1 football and keep excusing everyone else’s ability to compete with “well the SEC just pays the players”. Trust me, those Rich Rod teams of 2008-2010, should’ve seen the cars the players were driving… players been getting paid across the country, not just SEC
@@williamharris8726cars yea but nowhere near the bags of cash and lowering academic standards the sec was doing, ohio state finally caught up with sec teams now michigan is going all in
Moore had to rush things and get a staff together on the fly. Harbaugh did the school no favors with the way he left but the fact that he won a natty will absolve him from any responsibility.
Yup. The last 3 years harbaugh flirted with the NFL and it hurt recruiting big-time. Then he took all the good coaches. Very frustrating. Ill give Moore one more year and Campbell too
@@MaestroFodenCampbell cannot be the OC anymore. Moore has to make that change. He can demote him to a position coach if he doesn't wanna fire him but the fanbase is gonna flip if he's calling plays next year.
What is Larry Ellison's ties to Michigan? He's not an Alum, nor are either of his children from what I could find. Why would he put up that money for a QB to go to Michigan?
They lost 20 players to the NFL, had Harbaugh leave late and take most of the coaching staff with him. That killed them getting anybody in the transfer portal because no elite players are gonna commit to a school that doesn't even have a staff. That said, if they would have gotten a QB, they would have won 9 or 10 games. You cannot play at any level without a QB. This 5 and 5 team has at least 4 players going in the first round. Unfortunately none of them are QBs.
Because Jim Harbaugh was never a fan of NIL. He was on board with players getting paid for merch sales and image and likeness but he wasn't a fan of giving high school recruits money that they have not earned. Which is why up until last year Michigan's NIL was based on individual performance. Players would have to earn their NIL not just hand it to them. It was Moore who changed Michigan's NIL practices this year. Jim Harbaugh's recruiting was always about finding these low to mid tier gems and developing them into NFL caliber players. Which is why under Harbaugh you barely seen 5 star kids in his classes. He had a lot of high 4 star kids but he never went after the high 5 star kids because he knew most of them demand NIL money to sign with Michigan. Harbaugh barely made a effort to recruit Bryce which is why Bryce ended up at LSU in the beginning. But Moore on the other hand doesn't have the same eye for talent that Harbaugh had. So if Moore is gonna compete in a NIL heavy landscape of college football he needed to change how Michigan values NIL in which he did. This is why you will start seeing Michigan going after and landing some of these higher 5 star level recruits because they have the money to do so and that is largely due to Michigan's change of stance on offering NIL money to high school recruits under Moore.
When NIL first came out, I told my dad this is a big equalizer and the talent will spread out and the top SEC teams won’t have a monopoly anymore.
Same thing I have been saying. SEC created this when the started pay to play 20+ Years ago. Now that EVERYONE not just the SEC can pay. They in for a rude awakening

At the end of the day there will be a limit to what any individual is willing to pay for an unproven high school talent. Texas and Texas A&M are among a short list of college programs that have more than enough resources to secure any player they like.
@@GeraldMothershedit's the rest of the SEC that need to be scared
@@alexmessing6137
Yeah, that might be true.
They are the only ones. Everyone else is behind Michigan. Just the Texas schools with the oil money
Don't be so sure Michigan took off the gloves and are coming with strength and have released the Kraken.....
Funny how the SEC was paying guys under the table and all of the sudden when Michigan or OSU has tons of money to buy players the SEC starts saying we need to cap NIL.
This just in ... Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss & Tennessee have just canceled their respective 2026 football schedules on account of The Big Ten member schools having just bought out all their current talent. School officials are now inquiring with the NAIA for conference affiliation possibilities ... ads in undergrad student newspapers for football players to be forthcoming. 😂
Not just buying their athletes, but their staff members too! They stand to lose everything!
The SEC people are going wild on here, but he’s right if you get offered more it’s not a foregone conclusion that kids stay in the SEC
Michigan is awesome compared to the South. Hot women and legal weed. If they're paying you more you would be a moron to stay down south.
Michigan has Stephen Ross as well among others.
UGA is set to have yet another #1 class in the country.
Sooo we just not gonna talk about Jayden Davis and instead get a Portal QB?
Two of your top NIL schools are on the East and West and aren’t in the SEC those schools are Oregon and Miami; NIL talent is already spread out
11:13 the last two years I really believe that if the playing field was more even the SEC doesn’t have the advantage. Just like the nfl more balanced, it’s hard for other teams todominate.
Steve is probably right. It’s just like politics all of a sudden booster regulations will get put into place just watch it happens every day.
I do miss the arrogance of the Big Ten from living up North I guess. It’s one player. Anytime something good happens they believe it’s because they are in fact better than you. I mean Alabama just flipped one of their recruits within the last 48 hours.
Trust- the conferences are going to place a cap on spending to leverage the playing field- just like the NFL. Then the players will have to decide where they really want to play and it ain't up north.
If they let them college, football is not exactly organized. what if the big 10 doesn’t want that and they say screw you SEC what’s the SEC gonna do go off and do whatever you want then I guess
I also really think you need to shut up because they’re not going to let them put in a cap. Why would they do that? They would curb name image and likeness and they will be an argument over that you just have no idea what you’re talking about randomly blur out all just put a cab and then people stay in the south. Fuck the south.
So when Florida offers Rashada, an also ran qb maybe top 100 recruit $13mn it's back page news (expected) but when Michigan offers the top recruit in his class and hometown kid $10-12mn the spending is out of control? Get off it.
Sherone Moore has no excuses. If he can't produce, somone else will but the money will flow for recruits almost no matter what now.
18:56 exactly thank you Steve exactly yeah let’s just give up our advantage that we just discover why not we’ll play ball. 🏈
With a level playing field Southern schools can’t actually compete as they used to .
Texas says, "Hidy, y'all." Lol.
4:58 LSU still has Todd Graves… they’re good. Trust me.
Every SEC fan right now! Scared? Aware? Nope! Because the delusional atmosphere is thick down in America's basement. 🤷
Half of the Big 10 is the WAC
Man said nobody else has a QB close to Underwood and St Clair - my guy - Keelon Russell says hello 👋🏻
Yeah, that’s fine but if the big 10 is raiding SEC rosters and it’s not a lock
How do you know so much about teenage boys?
Miller Moss won’t go to a place he’s at risk of being a backup. As much as I’d love him to rock the Maize and Blue uniform, he’s too good to accept the risk of being benched by an all star freshman.
Steve Deace is not an insider, nor does he have any affiliation with the program.
Man, Steve can freaking talk cant he...I love it..
And listen to what we’re saying about college football this ain’t college football. This is semi pro ball without the contracts. They have ruined college football.
Yeah, that’s correct. That’s why we didn’t want a 12 team playoff. I’m off for players getting paid but this is not it. Oh well go blue life is life.
They just need to take the 40 best teams , even the salary cap and put them in a semi pro league together. No point in beating around the bush acting like these kids are here to take classes. These crazy ass college fans don’t want their QB taking classes. They want them focused on the GAME. It’s a shame but it’s reality . We embraced reality by paying these guys. Let’s embrace it one step further. Make this a semi pro league
This actually makes UM look worse 😂 it took 12mil to convince a kid from Michigan to de-commit from a reeling LSU team and stay home lol.
OSU has continuously out-recruited every SEC team not named UGA or BAMA. Oregon is currently out-recruiting pretty much every SEC team. Nobody in SEC is worried 😂
0:52 last week Steve was on Mark show on the voice of college football who is also on his shows on Tuesdays and Steve was like yeah I’m not worried it’s gonna happen. Stone cold, just like yeah just just wait. It’ll happen.
What happens if dude gets most of it up front and transfers before the season or next year? Thats crazy. The NCAA is like the wild west. They cant do anything about it.
That guy needs to learn the definition of “land grant university.” U of M is not one. Neither is UTexas.
Damn! It’s spectacular how y’all turned football into politics! 😂
This guy is such a tool 😂. Imagine thinking you’re going to put Alabama and Georgia out of business when it clems to recruiting.
It's a money game now and Michigan has way more of it than those schools and Ohio State.
@outdoorsman909 then why don't they have a top 5 class? The SEC has 4 teams currently in the top 5 of recruiting ... 6 in the top 7.... the lone top 5 non SEC team is Ohio State
@@dangerousdylan6262for now
Ha ha ha. I've heard this crap for decades. It's not the money, it's the collard greens.
They need to streamline this shit and turn the ncaa into a legit semi pro league with contracts. I know I sounds crazy but it’s the reality of the situation. Being a college football player is so far removed from the concept of “college” it’s insulting to pretend they should be at the school for anything more than to play football. It’s clear they’re not. No more beating around the bush
This is the same dude who just two years ago was whining that Alabama and Georgia had an insurmountable recruiting advantage. He knows essentially nothing.
They did. NIL wasnt at this level, nor was Michigan willing to pay HS players, only Transfer Portal targets and players they developed. Jim Harbaugh isnt the coach anymore either, he didnt want to pay players millions straight out of HS. Moore is now the coach and Michigan has changed tactics, throwing money at both now.
No, Steve actually knows a lot my guy. You might disagree with him and that’s fine, but Steve actually knows what the fuck he’s talking about.
This guys voice gave me a headache, definitely angry assistant vice principal annoying voice.

Good take.
Why is this guest talking into a soup can? Wtf is going on…
Steve can talk, a lotttt.
Raids? They gave Brice a $10 million nil deal. That's called buying in my book.
is stallions re-hirable for Michigan?
12 million? I hope he pans out!
Not just the SEC everyone lol 😂
No college player is worth $10+ million. Signed, LSU.
I think this is an important point. No matter the spending power of a school or any of their donors, there is a limit to the value anyone will place on an unproven high school talent.
Bryce Wood = mix of DJ Ugaugauga & Spencer Rattler
Until they realize how much they’re about to get taxed up north 😂. Student Athletes are gonna say yeah ima sit it down here in Texas, Arizona, Florida… Put it in insurance all you want but them boys want the cash up front not paid up in whole life policies 😅
This is the dumbest headline I have ever heard. Underwood is from Michigan. They overpaid for him LOL. He should have never left the state to begin with LOL. This speaks to the disarray of what's going on in Michigan. Moore is gone at the end of the year. With that being said, I am actually happy for Michigan, Underwood and the state of Michigan. NIL works and the NFL should go to this.
Now, all Underwood needs is a coaching staff. $12 million is too much to turn down considering he can get hurt over the next 4yrs at LSU. With no coaching, he has put himself behind the 8 ball with getting that second NFL $600 million dollar deal in the NFL.
15:59 that’s all life goes as soon as the pocket gets hit. People are all up in arms. What if the big 10 doesn’t wanna play ball like that huh? What if we don’t want it what if we say you’ve had that advantage for forever and we want to keep it more of a level playing field you want to go do your own thing go for it nobody likes you anyway. is to make plenty of money with or without the SEC figure as soon as it starts like we can’t do this anymore bunch of hypocrites
Sad that these kids are already living for money.
Patrick Mahomes was such a hot prospect coming out of high school! Why does this show put Milton from office space on to talk about football?
You think Michigan can outspend Texas and Texas A&M?
I'd take that bet.
@@GeraldMothershed yes.
@@seanmcginnis7564no chance they can out spend the Texas teams
@ name a donor that has deeper pockets than Larry Ellison. Michigan has almost 30 billionaires for Alumni. Texas is wealthy, but I think you are barking up the wrong tree.
A&M already spent boat loads and didn't even win the sec😂😂 they don't have the culture
Sure, you can take bad bet and will shove it down your throat. Just focus on this year Texas fans maybe you’ll actually win something.
I think the sec fans in general need to understand. Im a northerner who moved down south. The hard facts is the north trumps anything money wise in the south. NYC alone by itself does. Then throw in Chicago, Philly, Boston etc. The south has atlanta and miami basically. Aside from texas which is its own world. Palm beach is all NYC money. Staten island is bigger than miami. If the north starts tossing dollars watch out. ND michigan ohio state will go crazy
"the north" doesn't care about football. You think NYC is going to start backing Minnesota because of their latitude? Why are football fans just the worst about figuring out how things are actually going to go?
@TMan-uw5rb I agree with your point. They love basketball and hockey and other sports , pro football especially..but what I'm saying is if the money people from those areas get involved, theyve got the cash
I hope you have money for the OL, WRs and RBs. Did I mention the 11 Defensive players. The southern states being “poor” is an incorrect angle. THE FANS will be a huge NIL source. The “poor” southern fans will contribute to their school’s NIL. They will buy products and donate any amount of money needed. It’s not 1865, the poor south can fund whatever the wealthy north can. 1 more thing, how good do you want to be in basketball and the other sports? You can’t fund everything. Now both conferences are on even ground. That’s a good thing. I like it when IU is good in football and Alabama is good in basketball.
The fans of the southern schools mostly can't afford groceries let alone 10 million dollar athletes year after year
What he's is simply nonsense!!! smh
I lost all respect for Steve when he went batshit crazy after the 2020 election....
Fully agree with you. Keep things separate.
Yea he’s just a rich jack ass
I may not care for Steve politics, but it doesn’t mean he’s wrong about Michigan.
Jag-off, get your facts right; Pinocchio was not outspent. And you love a narcissist's support of another. Spoiled brats are what Muskrat and Pinocchio are, says Yoda.
In my opinion it’s all going to come down to who is willing to spend $15-20 million a year to lose for the next decade unless changes are made. That is the problem. I’d imagine every team would pay that to win. How many schools have fan bases crazy enough about football to drop $200 million over the next decade to every year to Texas or Bama or UGA? I’m pretty certain that OSU would do it and not even think about it. If UM is opening up the bank accounts you can expect OSU to continue to. Then you have to wonder will Michigan State get something going? I know nothing about them financially but I know they hate losing to UM. I can’t imagine PSU will want to be dominated every year either. Just in the big 10 when you add in USC UCLA and Oregon that’s 7 schools because I can’t imagine either California school is going to be willing to be left behind and Oregon has one donor who can pay that amount every year by himself. Should be a lot of fun.
Never heard of the Koch brother(s), Sheldon Adelson? What is he talking about?
Welcome to BIG BLUE Bryce!!!!!!
Kentucky?
We need a salary cap. It shouldnt be pay to win.
It always has been pay to win. It's just out in the open now
The only reason Bryce did not want any part of Michigan is because the way horrible ran the program. You can't recruit a great five Star quarterback who is willing to hand the ball off 60 to 70% of the time. You have to have a legit receivers that Michigan does not have and will be forced to get now, you have to have a legit offensive line to protect him, and you have to have a substantially better defense in the back end. This is only the start but Michigan has no choice now but to put its money where its mouth is.
Ron Pawlus should sue errbody. 😂
Hot take from the dude who whinged on Blaze live that Kamala was going to win the election after the debate. There's a reason I turn on Benny Johnson after the Glenn Beck daily show is over at noon.
Tell it like it is Steve
SEC has been cheating for decades
GO BIG TEN with your Big Money
Now on an even field, hard for sec to compete
Michigan and Ohio state been paying players for years, stop it. Did you ever see Schembechler Hall parking lot in the late 2000’s and 2010’s??? That’s Michigan football practice facility on campus if you didn’t know- I grew up there, let’s stop lying about what actually happened in D1 football and keep excusing everyone else’s ability to compete with “well the SEC just pays the players”. Trust me, those Rich Rod teams of 2008-2010, should’ve seen the cars the players were driving… players been getting paid across the country, not just SEC
@@williamharris8726cars yea but nowhere near the bags of cash and lowering academic standards the sec was doing, ohio state finally caught up with sec teams now michigan is going all in
Hold up the top 10 recruiting classes is mostly sec what are these people in the comments talking about 😂😂
Michigan needs new OC and DC.... michigan had an amazing staff the last 3 years. This staff is sooooo mid and guess what HOPEFULLY 6-6
Moore had to rush things and get a staff together on the fly. Harbaugh did the school no favors with the way he left but the fact that he won a natty will absolve him from any responsibility.
Yup. The last 3 years harbaugh flirted with the NFL and it hurt recruiting big-time. Then he took all the good coaches. Very frustrating. Ill give Moore one more year and Campbell too
@@MaestroFodenCampbell cannot be the OC anymore. Moore has to make that change. He can demote him to a position coach if he doesn't wanna fire him but the fanbase is gonna flip if he's calling plays next year.
What is Larry Ellison's ties to Michigan? He's not an Alum, nor are either of his children from what I could find. Why would he put up that money for a QB to go to Michigan?
Maybe he just hates the SEC
His girlfriend is a michigam alumi
We run deep
@@alexmessing6137 His girlfriend is Nikita Kahn, an Actress & model from Ukraine. She has no affiliation to UM.
Wife is Michigan grad, and huge U of M sports fan.
Umm Bama just stole one of their main recruits
Is Steve claiming to be right wing? Kay Mac might disagree
WE GOT OUR TERRELLE PRYOR!!
You misspelled "Michigan slappy"
Yall remember Spencer Rattler or DJ Uga?
Why did Michigan do it this year? They might not be five and five where did they find these clowns?
Huh
They lost 20 players to the NFL, had Harbaugh leave late and take most of the coaching staff with him. That killed them getting anybody in the transfer portal because no elite players are gonna commit to a school that doesn't even have a staff. That said, if they would have gotten a QB, they would have won 9 or 10 games. You cannot play at any level without a QB. This 5 and 5 team has at least 4 players going in the first round. Unfortunately none of them are QBs.
Because Jim Harbaugh was never a fan of NIL. He was on board with players getting paid for merch sales and image and likeness but he wasn't a fan of giving high school recruits money that they have not earned. Which is why up until last year Michigan's NIL was based on individual performance. Players would have to earn their NIL not just hand it to them. It was Moore who changed Michigan's NIL practices this year. Jim Harbaugh's recruiting was always about finding these low to mid tier gems and developing them into NFL caliber players. Which is why under Harbaugh you barely seen 5 star kids in his classes. He had a lot of high 4 star kids but he never went after the high 5 star kids because he knew most of them demand NIL money to sign with Michigan. Harbaugh barely made a effort to recruit Bryce which is why Bryce ended up at LSU in the beginning. But Moore on the other hand doesn't have the same eye for talent that Harbaugh had. So if Moore is gonna compete in a NIL heavy landscape of college football he needed to change how Michigan values NIL in which he did. This is why you will start seeing Michigan going after and landing some of these higher 5 star level recruits because they have the money to do so and that is largely due to Michigan's change of stance on offering NIL money to high school recruits under Moore.
Crain and Company just jumped the shark…see ya
