WTKA Roundtable 6/29/2023: The Roundtable Roundtable

Things Discussed:

• NIL vs "NIL": Why is the NCAA trying to fight states? Who's writing the laws? Do they have any chance? Nope.
• NCAA is probably trying to scare other ADs away from joining the race to make the most anti-NCAA public policy.
• What should the NCAA be fighting for at this point? They have to go to class, they have to graduate.
• NCAA isn't going to do anything; being careful about following rules they're not taking seriously is useless. They can't even punish schools anymore because they're not going to take away postseasons (they don't want to) and scholarship limits don't matter with NIL.
• What's M Power: The answer to the problem that Michigan has a lot of collectives.
• NIL vs "NIL" pt 2. Michigan is actually doing well at NIL because they had to come at this from a new perspective, whereas cheaters like Ohio State and Notre Dame already had processes developed when it was all illegal. Michigan is way behind on "NIL" but are finally addressing it, writing a new law in Michigan and having Harbaugh drive it with M Power.
• Beer in Michigan Stadium? Games are so slow today that you might as well. Not going to be a big deal.
• Hail to the Roundtable segment: Is beating OSU sustainable? Michigan has a good thing going right now, long term Ohio State will get better talent. The last two years OSU only produced two 1st rounders on defense, and didn't have the horses to beat Michigan at the main thing we wanted to do.
• What does the Sherrone Moore offense look like? Two tight ends and/or two RBs because they can get Loveland and Edwards matched against linebackers. There's no answer to that: if you have a hybrid LB he'll get crushed by Michigan's power running attack.
• Find a weakness on this team other than injuries to JJ or WJ? Can't. Maybe kicking.
