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.

And they are losing this old man. Haven't watched an entire MLB game since the strike and constantly turn down free tickets to NFL games. Other than an AU vs ga or uat would turn down free tickets to football. Not worth my drive time.

I have heard Steven has somewhere between $7m-$12m to build next years roster
