I have to agree with the other posters on here when it comes to cost. You just have to go with your most cost-effective option, especially when it comes to a Bachelor's degree. As a recent grad currently seeking a Master's, quite frankly I don't believe that a Bachelor's is enough anymore. Nowadays a Bachelor's is seen as the bare minimum for most entry-level jobs in virtually any profession, and nearly all recent grads will need to pursue some form of education past their undergrad (i.e. Master's, PhD, Law/Med, etc) in order to move up within their field of interest.
That being said, while experience, alumni connections, rankings, and other factors that make name brand schools such as Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Michigan such attractive options, if cost is a major issue it would be unwise to incur heavy student loans during your undergraduate. Especially considering that in today's job market, you'll most likely be sent back to school at some point anyway. That's just my two cents from recent experience as a Michigan grad who tested the job market with a Bachelor's alone (although my path is somewhat unconventional).
With all that said, sounds like your nephew has some great options, but how could you go wrong attending Michigan?! Go blue is the only way to go.
Being an in-state with no ties to MSU or UM, it's really a no brainer. UM was always my dream school, and I'll never forget coming home from a school retreat and checking my email at 2:00 AM to see that I had been accepted into the University of Michigan. It was surreal and I'll never forget waking my parents up to tell them. Brings back a lot of memories.
For the record, I'm not a Rob Parker fan. I will say, however, that ESPN is completely at fault for passing this segment and then choosing to punish Parker because of a public outcry. I don't mean to be an anti-establishment kind of person, but it bugs me what ESPN will do for ratings. The Tebow parody is a prime example of a controversial figure that they promote for ratings because they know he will garner people who dislike him and people who like him.

Well, Michigan State and Ohio State aren't B1G champs now
It could be worse. We could have no recruits at all..
Hahaha well done.
2008 plunked everyone here real bad
Huge play at a crucial time. It was such a relief seeing those dreads fly from the bottom of the screen and snag that pass.
Hahah well said
Hell yea!!
Ewwwwww
Hahaha I see what you did there
I can't believe a man could see another man doing what they were doing to a 10 year old kid and not do something to stop it. It blows my mind.
Let's take Dunn next.
It's gotta take so much skill to land planes, if you don't make it you're in the ocean
I wouldn't have believed it at all. Crazy times in the NCAA.
Well-said. It's a shame it got by so many people to even get to the report they are referring to in 2002.
He's been at Houston forever.
