Episode 3: What Michigan Can *Actually* Do With NIL

We cover the whole NIL landscape around Michigan including: The NCAA's (borderline nonexistent) NIL regulationsThe Michigan NIL LawWhether Michigan's policy imposes additional restrictions on UM Athletes beyond what the law imposesHow does Michigan's NIL policy stack up next to MSU and OSU?MSU's policy might be a little more permissive on alcohol and gambling NIL deals, but otherwise the policies are substantially similarMSU and OSU completely ban their staff/coaches from procuring or developing NIL opportunity for their athletes - Michigan's does not. The institutions seem to disagree about whether a university can take on the role of procuring NIL deals for their players. MSU/OSU must think they cannot assist players in procuring NIL deals, or else it makes no sense to impose that type of restriction on your staff. Even if UM could set up an in-house team dedicated to finding NIL deals for its athletes, would that move the needle? Or is the only way forward to go full Texas A&M?
