This is all moot if JJ stays.

We have a bunch of opponents that have QBs that will be leaving too.

So the market for a top transfer is going to be VERY COMPETITIVE.

usc and oregon have already proven they will pay to acquire talent.

alabama will be going after one. They have paid players for years.

Not too mention the transfer credit nonsense (though football has done a better job of figuring that out).

If you take a freshman or sophomore transfer that COULD turn off too Jadyn Davis.

It's gonna have to be a one and done guy (presumably a redshirt sophomore or a grad transfer).

The one thing is they are gonna have to pay, because no one good is coming for free.

Michigan football takes its 5-0 record to the Gopher state on Saturday night as the Wolverines hit the road to take on Minnesota (3-2) under the lights.

Previewing the matchup and making a prediction:

I realize that our starters are recovering from injuries. It looks like our LBs and D-line are compensating very well for big plays given up by our secondary. Anyone else concerned about this, especially for PSU, OSU, Maryland?

I've never seen a more idiotic league structure. In fact I've never seen close.

It is apparent that a fair, level playing field in terms of schedule didn't even make the priority list.

Every youth sports league commissioner in the country has the task of setting up a league with a structure that has a fair and competition for the championship.

The Big Ten clearly didn't care to do so.

18 teams. Everyone plays 9, doesn't play 8....EIGHT. Half the league has four home games, half the league has five.

This is beyond pathetic. Chasing a league title matters for the kids and the fans. The manner of doing so should be balanced and logical.

These morons just largely ruined The Big Ten Football Championship.

Go three divisions, play everyone in your division and cross over against one other rotating the cross over division, at least then each team chasing a division title will have 80/90% similar schedule.

Then take three champs and a wild card and go semi final, final. Its not hard to make a fair competitive structure.

This is a complete mess valuing nothing other than TV revenue.

Up to 6 together, but possible to break it into 2s.

Between 10 yard lines preferable.

Those look like pop up ads to me. Pop up on top of text. Big disappointment for this site.

Not quite a deciding factor but damn close, comparing it to other, even free sites.

Hopefully he's not good and our game against them doesn't increase in difficulty level. Kim is a horrible QB.

If this nonsense is gonna continue to target us, you better get Fox to throw their weight around since we can't cancel the texas game.

That stupid game stayed because it helped texas go to the sec a year early.

Better have the executives make sure Harbaugh is not suspended for this "marquee" game that TV wanted so bad.

Did some digging, A LOT of it, to see what I can find out about the Jim Harbaugh contract situation.

I had referred to some vague Twitter rumors about an update coming on Harbaugh’s contract details and was able to get a bit of a clearer picture but not the whole thing.

Here’s what I know.

I was already confident that the contract will get done, I am walking away from my discussions today feeling even better it’s going to get done.

Those at Michigan are “not worried” about the process and the expectation right now is that it’s going to get done. The not worried in quotations is the exact verbiage used by those with knowledge of the situation. There are rumors we could hear news as soon as Friday but I haven’t been able to verify those independently yet. If it’s not this week, I might be able to get a clearer picture.

Either way, feeling VERY good about Harbaugh signing this deal. I’ve been saying soon a lot but it sure feels like this will be all wrapped up soon.

Lol

Jim is 4th....yes this doesn't include bonuses but I am sure the other guys have bonuses as well. Well maybe not Tugger anymore.

Their versions of events versus his testimony or statements particularly around the cancellation of her second visit after she rejected his advances and his “pleasuring” phone call

Are the all whites confirmed? Heard some chatter about blue pants.

Want to reiterate that this is NOT final but the Big Ten appears to have sent what the initial 2024 schedules look like, or at the very least a rough draft of what it COULD look like next year.

As for key opponents, I am told that what was sent to Michigan had the following for opponents: MSU, OSU, USC, Oregon, Washington and Texas

Again, NOT final and by no means set in stone but it's a starting point. Loaded, loaded schedule.

8:25 pm update: Per those I have spoken with, USC, Oregon, MSU and Texas at home. Washington, OSU away.

How is it possible they don't play usc, ucla, washington, penn state, or wisconsin in 2024?

They are also back to avoiding ohio state and won't be playing them in 2025, 2026, or 2028.
