  • I think that the chance for this sort of thing to happen is highly unlikely once Gary's on campus and being watched by the compliance people. But his mother has talked in the past about how she understands Michigan isn't a cash-up-front operation like in the South, but that the benefits will come later, over time. He'll get a Michigan education and once done, and with football, enjoy a lifetime of access through alums, etc.

    Which is not to say there wasn't anything going on in the background. It strains credibility to think that they surrendered thousands and thousands of dollars just over a college choice. Who knows? But the basic tradeoff seems reasonable.

    • I kinda miss AlabamaAlum. He and Prime really opened my eyes to the culture down south. UM will take good care of Gary after he retires from pro football. I do wish this was all on top of the table. I'd rather trust the IRS to enforce the "rules", by requiring the $ 100,000 per year have tax paid on it.

                      • I think the paying thing is always inconsistent and I'm not sure it's a meritocracy. Meaning just because the guy is some high recruit doesn't mean he is the one getting the expensive handshakes.

                          Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
