The entire line-up of UM was portal transfers. I wonder how much they paid for that. This getting ridiculously professional.
Sure could have used a couple of their bigs...
GROK says:
The University of Michigan (U of M) men's basketball program spent at least $10 million in NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) money on its 2025-26 roster.

This figure comes primarily from reporting by On3's Pete Nakos in a March 2026 analysis of Sweet 16 teams' roster spending for the 2025-26 season. Michigan was grouped in the "$10 million club" alongside programs like Arkansas, Duke, Houston, St. John's, and Texas. For context, Kentucky (which exited earlier) was reported at around $22 million, while other Big Ten teams like Illinois, Iowa, and Purdue fell in the $8–10 million range.

I'm thinking that NIL money should come with a longer term contract that has significant penalties if broken.
