Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has always been willing to challenge the status quo in the name of evolving the game of college football. Another example of this came on Monday afternoon when Harbaugh spoke in depth about an expansion of revenue sharing between the NCAA, college universities and student-athletes. Harbaugh doesn’t think the current NIL (name, image, likeness) model is enough.

Harbaugh’s advocating for “a system of revenue sharing with the student-athletes”.

“What I don’t understand is how the NCAA, television networks, conferences, universities and coaches can continue to pull in millions and in some cases billions of dollars in revenue off the efforts of college student-athletes across the country without providing enough opportunity to share in the ever-increasing revenues,” Harbaugh said.
