Maybe nothing but maybe he is taking another job before JH bolts.
Or payback for the pay cut they made him take (justifiably also)It’s pretty funny since a year ago (justifiably) a lot of Michigan fans wanted him fired. It’s feels like him leaving is payback for all the fans bashing him.
My feeling is he’s either trying to leverage these rumors for a bigger payday or he finally beat Ohio St and feels like he can ride off into the sunset having slayed the dragon.Or payback for the pay cut they made him take (justifiably also)
But he kinda deserved that. He lost the team and things were trending in a bad directionLooks like Harbaugh is returning to the NFL: https://t.co/nfs4x2VffN
Don't blame him, got his pay cut last year that would leave a bad taste in anybody's mouth.
The former. It's about the cash.My feeling is he’s either trying to leverage these rumors for a bigger payday or he finally beat Ohio St and feels like he can ride off into the sunset having slayed the dragon.
He will leave because UM is not prepared to sell their souls.If he goes maybe he is getting while the getting is good. Maybe like Lincoln Riley leaving Oklahoma before they enter the SEC. Self preservation is a natural thing.
Good, let TTUN become a second-rate program. Either you change with the times or get left behind. These NIL deals are going to help Texas, Texas A$M, USC (Riley), ND, The U (lots of money in south beach), and OSU. Big name programs with big donors. Really believe Kelley screwed up leaving ND when he did. Lots of rich Catholics.He will leave because UM is not prepared to sell their souls.
College football as most fans know it is almost completely dead due to NIL. Texas A&M boosters are now openly doing what would have gotten them thrown in jail years ago.
Welcome to the new highest bidder and free agency College game. Zero integrity left.
I get that and agree. I do not like where the college game is heading with free agency and NIL but you are 100% right, adapt or die.Good, let TTUN become a second-rate program.

And agree on ND.
The thing that blows is 96% of college athletes do it for the education. Before NIL when spoiled kids would talk about the university exploiting their likeness I could only think - they are giving 85 kids a $200,000+ gift.Agree. My opinion: no more athletic scholarships.
Yup, it's out of control if you ask me. Basketball, baseball, soccer, etcIt looks like we are headed to the inevitable split of college football to the super league, where we have what are essentially professionals and the rest. The national championships will be open only to the super league competitors; players will jump from one team to another, depending on the money they can receive; and the rest of the poor schlubs will be left behind. Ultimately, that's what the rich schools wanted and that's what they'll get.
So if we go backward, are you okay with these institutions continuing to make $$$ hand over fist on the backs of the athletes? We'll just go back to handing kids the bag under the table I guess. But at least we can pretend it doesn't exist again.98% of the college teams should band together and demand change or leave and/or create their own orginazation. Easier said than done right? But doable nonetheless. Give the top 4-6 teams no one to play but themselves.
Go back to pre-transfer portal and NIL days. Keep amateur in college athletics.
Texas A&M is openly doing what got SMU the death sentence years ago. Their boosters are offering recruits millions through NIL to attend A&M.
This is A&M's class. Six 5 Star recruits and Eighteen 4 Star recruits. That is INSANE.
And for those of you who do not think talent matters it does. It matters more today than ever. Bama and Georgia are the top two talented teams.
I think there has to be a better solution. 95% of college athletes will not see a dime off of NIL.So if we go backward, are you okay with these institutions continuing to make $$$ hand over fist on the backs of the athletes?

I agree whole-heartedly that a nuanced course correction should be the aim. I'm hopeful that the market will correct itself as things settle, if they do. I think business owners/booster will begin to weigh the risk/reward of some of these initial investments. Some will pay off, and some will not (*see Quinn Ewers & Spenser Rattler). The portal may be a bit trickier given the timing of the early signing period and the move for coaches to bail earlier & earlier in the season.I think there has to be a better solution. 95% of college athletes will not see a dime off of NIL.
And at least it was difficult to do the "bag under the table."
IMO the University gives each kid a roughly $200,000 gift in a scholarship. I'm not cheering on the Universities either, but what we have now is bad and will only get worse.
According to the video, Rutgers is now receiving it's full cut from the Big 10 ($55M vs $10M). And, it sounds like the university may end of forgiving loans given to the athletics department. I imagine more than one person at SUNJ has been/still is sweating bullets in Joisey these past several years. ?Rutgers in financial trouble.
Rutgers athletics rang up a $73M deficit last year. Students, taxpayers were on the hook.
Rutgers athletics spending reached an all-time high of $118 million in 2020-21. Direct university subsidies more than doubled, to nearly $28 million.www.usatoday.com
This is going to become a very big problem as the lessor universities try to keep up with the OSU's and UM's. Greg Schiano makes $4,000,000 paid for by New Jersey taxpayers.According to the video, Rutgers is now receiving it's full cut from the Big 10 ($55M vs $10M).

They forgive one loan they had better forgive them all.University president Jonathan Holloway has said that athletics' continued operating deficits — and borrowing from the university to cover them — is “unsustainable.” He said he is “absolutely” considering forgiving those loans. A Rutgers athletics spokesman said Tuesday that no decision has been made.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t open the link. But Jerry Emig, OSU’s SID tweeted the real number is about $41m as they made some large one time payments to reduce capital loan balances on 2 completed venues, which will of course reduce interest expenses in the future.OSU sports lose money.
Ohio State athletics may take loan after reporting $63.6 million loss in 2021 NCAA financial report

It was really dumb of them to not have fans. But that said, it is a rare for any athletic department to not lose money. OSU is one of the exceptions who make a profit.OSU sports lose money.
