There is no pretending any longer that college football is an ameutur sport. Many programs are investing $20M into the portal and god knows how much into recruiting 4 and 5 stars. Don't hold your breath when it comes to Michigan recruiting 5 star talent, Michigan will not be paying those fees anytime soon.
I was even surprised yesterday when I looked up when Maction starts on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Answer is: not until November. I was surprised, as I thought the MAC could be getting more viewers starting it now. Probably has something to do with the Baseball Playoffs.
