A degenerate gambler making MI football his vanity project perfectly encapsulates the state of college football.

That has been the SEC way for years but it was done in the shadows. Since paying players is legal now it’s all out in the open and more schools are in the game/

The buyout on Kelly is like 60-70 million. He is coming back.

Commitment Video Goes Hard.

Yeah that was sick. So he was a Michigan fan as a kid?

Edit - I’m just now realizing he is from Michigan. Okay that makes the flip a lot more understandable.

To L$U

My bad...was talking about Underwood going to Michigan and thought that's what you meant. If OSU doesn't win the NC, Meyer may be going back to Ohio State

Hes a self made Billionaire (off a legit company) who is a Michigan Alum...

 

[aelmiami]

Don’t think so….the majority of big boosters wanted Bill O’Brien last time and so I’m not sure if they’d go back after him or not.

That would be a different/weird hire.

Michigan is now aiming to land thanos. Lol

 

[OptimusCreampie]

Always happy for the downfall of lsu and Brian Kelly but it would Be really cool if Dave portnoy stayed away from cfb.

 

[OptimusCreampie]

I honestly don’t follow recruiting unless it’s us or our targets is this kid the goods for 12 million?

 

[Brains]

I find this funny because I hate Brian Kelly.

He's worth $150M.

Depends what Barstool is worth, but it was worth over $500M a bunch of years ago, and then he bought it back for a literal Dollar

 

[Cane30]

Forget Underwood, it is time to meet your promises. They are going to lose more than Underwood.

 

[Dwinstitles]

From their 247 mod:

Prior to today, word was they would target the transfer portal for a QB if Underwood flipped. We will be following up with sources if that plan of attack changed, but i have a hunch that will be the most successful route this late in the game.

The last figure i heard on the LSU side was 7 million and the hope was that would be enough. We know money was a driving factor in this, but the pitch from Michigan labeling Underwood as the guy to turn things around in Ann Arbor also hit home, per a source.

I don't think you can look past LSU's struggles of late and say they were not a factor because that would be naive IMO.

More to come but just some quick thoughts.

There we go with the wins and losses excuse by a staff writer to hide the fact that BK is cheeks at recruiting. And they will eat it up.

Kid isn’t worth the millions they are paying him

No, it’s not worth $500mm. Portnoy’s interest is not remotely as valuable as you think. Penn didn’t just cut bait for $1. It gets 50% gross on any subsequent sale or disposition.

But he's not selling...

Those cajuns are liable to plant a body in his trunk.

$150M or $1B. Whatever. He is not putting down his money, he is “face” of the deal but the real money is coming from 1 or more Michigan boosters who don’t want or can’t have their names associated with the deal,

At most Portnoy kicked in a couple hundred grand and a barstool merchandise/podcast deal.
