noon games

Sponsor note. There's nothing to emphasize the importance of contracts like a coaching search. Do you have a contract that needs to be drawn up? Would you like it to make slightly more sense than certain contracts of recent import? Are you thinking about starting a small business offering hugs to distraught Michigan fans?

Richard Hoeg can help you with that. Hoeg Law is the is the MGoBlog of law firms: small, dedicated, in possession of strong opinions about video games. Stay strong. And get legal backing. At Hoeg Law.

I wondered when someone would notice. There are a lot of games at night now. So many that it might be smart to…

Fox will have its best game of the day will be at noon every Saturday.

…yeah, that. Michigan should feature frequently in that slot, and as a person who likes to get home and see the end of the 3:30 games and then the night games I'm all about that. If your priority is encompassing all the madness of a college football Saturday, noon is the slot for you.

Doing the math. Numbers from the new media rights deal:

Big Ten had nearly $759 million in revenue in FY18, new federal tax return shows. That's up from nearly $513 million last year. It's also $100 million more than amount SEC reported for FY18: https://t.co/Xs4icAPcAG

That is 13.7 million per school. Michigan could pay every one of their approximately 700 scholarship athletes 20k a year based on this jump alone. If restricted to the ~100 players on the two main revenue sports that's 140k a year.

Nico Collins under the microscope. Combining Josh Gattis with this guy could be shades of Allen Robinson and Chris Godwin:

Hail Warinner. To go from last year to this is incredible.

Find a tackle and Michigan's set to be a lethal passing attack.
