Don't have time but BBA why do you blame Warde Manuel for not being progressive as if it was just him? Hell, all the UM folks are afraid of being the alpha dog including message board posters. I agree

that UM should act like the most visible power in the country and not give a fuck what anybody thinks. Manuel is a dumbass for not embracing NIL but let's face it that was exactly what his bosses wanted him to do, be a passive pussy. And the UM fans, look at some of them clutching their pearls while Dusty was running over all of college basketball, advertising in Michigan Stadium not on my watch meanwhile the uniforms have ads all over them, how about the folks still upset at the Fab 5 and not wanting the banner to hang?
Michigan has never acted like the leaders and best and when they had a progressive coach, Dusty May, they let him leave as they sat around passively full and fat instead of offering him so much money that he would have at least stuck around to defend his title.
Don't get me wrong I am not defending Manuel but acting as if he should have been the change agent is not fair...and I fully know that he was receiving a nice paycheck but expecting him to go against the Michigan culture was not realistic. Hell, UM has a regent leaking shit to hurt the brand.
Back to the board
