Some professional athletes wish they could have a piece of this NIL money.
Michigan is offering 2025 No. 1 recruit and LSU quarterback commit Bryce Underwood a $10.5 million NIL, Image and Likeness (NIL) offer over four years to flip his allegiance, according to On3.
LSU boosters remain hopeful Underwood will honor his pledge, per the report.
Underwood, perhaps leaning into the news, posted an image of an LSU player holding a No. 2 pendant to his Instagram Story on Thursday morning.
College recruiting has changed in the NIL era, with all the shady behind-the-scenes deals now being openly discussed.
The “haves” programs like Michigan are able to flex their financial might and sign some of the players in the country simply by throwing money their way.
Underwood is one of those “throw all the money at him” players.
