Way for Michigan fans to fund players?

Start a TV network and pay them like 100k per interview. 
 

maybe let them do some commercials for car dealerships in exchange for some sweet Porsche’s 

Are you people kidding with this stuff?

Why wait? Pay them, then just self report before we play Rutgers. Get em back in time for the important games. OSU has shown there's 0 downside to it, and they even get to play victim while cheating.

1. Become an agent.

2. Loan money to OSU players.

3. Self-report after mid-November.

Have a couple mega-donors (Ross, Munger, Wilpon, Taubman level) start a subscription-based business, structured as a partnership, in Ann Arbor or Detroit that boosters can subscribe to - create "tiers" of subscriptions for donation levels. Then, that business pays players to do commercials, billboards, other ads. Pretty simple. The business gets a steady stream of revenue from subscriptions and partners can inject cash whenever/new partners can buy in.

The only thing I'm sure of is that several other schools will figure this out before us and be super aggressive using it to their advantage for a few years before we catch up. 

"Signing of the Stars" as a ppv event. Nice little signing bonus. 

We'd have to see the rule before we can say. For the love of all things good, please don't do anything yet.

Stop.

This is one of the potential problems I have with the NIL stuff.  We will start repurposing the M money cannon, which has been a tremendous force of good, into  “let’s send *** a bunch of money because they hit a game winning kick or shot.”  

Get money together.

Find uncle, mom, pastor who is steering the kid to a school.

Buy that persons house for 3 to 10 times the value. Depends on level of kid.

Clemsoning.

Anyone that turns up their nose at these suggestions should put down their rotary phone, upgrade their dial up internet connection and pull their head out of ....1969. 

Would someone please show some proof of all of the schools out-recruiting us paying players before suggesting we pay players? Success on the field and, more importantly, in the draft drives recruiting success. If the Clemsons and Bamas are paying, and have been doing so for decades, does no one think it would hit the press one time? I have lived in Alabama for thirty years. I do believe that Bama paid with some frequency in the eighties and nineties. When Saban came, the need to pay was reduced significantly. The NFL is his recruiting pitch. 

Can we fund a coaches removal?

IANAL, but I think we should look into setting up a 501(c)(3) charitable “scholarship” organization. This would allow big donors like Ross to set it up with large chunks of money that could be invested tax-free and it would be self-sustaining. It’s how charitable foundations work (usually as tax shelters because the money earned through the investments and the lack of taxes makes the required charitable donations of the foundation negligible). However, this would be a charity rather than a foundation because we would want to give the money directly to athletes rather than to other charities.

The NCAA might forbid this direct funding, and if so we could always make the charity focused on something else where we would hire athletes to bring awareness to its mission statement. We could do the children’s hospital or something and pay them to appear in billboards and stuff (this would work well because they tend to volunteer there anyway). We would want the charity actions to be legit because that would insulate it from criticism. It would be like Swinney and Jesus. As an added bonus, the charity could hire athletes who fail to make it to the NFL for ridiculous salaries for their first couple years out of college. They could then use this nonprofit experience to find a decent job in that sector. Having a safety-net in place in case a player doesn’t get drafted would be a huge recruiting tool (something our boosters could set up now and should)

Sure, it appears as though, here, as things stand Michigan is in a place of power. As this matter appears to stand at this time will challenge every university to give serious thought as to how it approaches its revenue sports programs. Here, Pandora's box has been opened-and I believe opening Pandora's box is a good thing. I believe that the best news for everyone, in this regard, is that this will finally force the NCAA to implement some real reforms that will truly benefit the players-and most of the universities as well. I can see this demanding changes that will significantly level the playing field by spreading the talent around. There are some simple solutions revolving around recruiting ratings and "luxury taxes" that would add a level of integrity that is surely missing both under the current system and the next one we seem to be heading toward. Schools should not be allowed to stockpile hoards of the best players whether under the current system of in-balance or the next one that will result from the anticipated laws. 

The NCAA, don't want to nail the big money schools anymore. Way to much cash from top to bottom for the clowns running the show. Perks, get out. All the big wigs and family's go to the bowl game in first class everything. They need a good east coast school, Clemson for the win. ESPN would die with out the SEC. OSU, about dead center of the east, mid west, large city need good ratings. It not like it used to be, you could be on TV twice a year that was it. 1 school from each conference to a bowl game. This crap is all about the coin. Just my 2 cents. Its up to the schools to play it how they see it. Oh yea, lots of these guys don't come to play school so that limits certain places. Urban to USC for 20 million, would be money well spent because they would be winning next year.

I have actually thought that if I was super rich that I would pay top recruits to not go to Ohio State.  I have no university affiliation and I don't know that you can penalize anyone in the negative.  That program just needs to suffer our version of the save spammed NCAA dynasty.
