Just a note to all the people who like to throw around the "Money Cannon" term.  There are two different options on that form you can use to fire that thing you are always bragging about.

I represent a business and would like to provide marketing and promotional opportunities to support our athletes.

I am willing to contribute financially to support our athletes.*

Ensure you click YES so the university knows you have money and want to spend it.

Basketball is getting big money, just nowhere near the money football is getting. Which is to be expected when you look at the popularity of the respective sports, the popularity of the respective sports specifically at the University of Michigan, the number of players for each sport, and the general current success of the programs. Basketball is getting big money, football is just getting HUGE money.
 

But it’s important to note that the football team is also avoiding the “buying players” look. Recruits aren’t being offered NIL deals like they are by other schools. Once a player gets here and performs, they have every opportunity to get as much NIL as they can. But Michigan is not and will not be offering up front money outside of the general collectives that every player is afforded just for being on the team.

Sam Webb this morning said Harbaugh helped develop an NIL program that would be a game changer for Michigan. He said it would be unveiled shortly. I wonder if this is what he was talking about?
