Michigan contributing $15 million to its athletic department is unprecedented, and will mostly make up for increased expenses in paying players.

Nimari Burnett left HS as a McDonalds All-American, but after 4 years in the NCAA — from Lubbock to Tuscaloosa to Ann Arbor — he never averaged double figures or shot 40%.
Now, he’s the nation’s most efficient scorer and a big reason U-M is one of the 2025 surprises.

Yale WR David Pantellis tells me he is currently driving to Ann Arbor for a visit this weekend.
He had 61 Receptions, 910 Yards, 8 TD in 2024 — 120 Receptions, 1,681 Yards, 14 TD across his career.
Combined with a 58.8% contested catch win rate, would be a notable boost to Ron Bellamy’s room.

I confess, as Mason Graham leaves Ann Arbor, I’m still torn on my favorite of his childhood stories. It’s somewhere between him bulldozing 5-year-olds on a soccer field and laughing about it, or housing four breakfast burritos after fasting 24 hours to make weight.
