This. They are THE number one welthiest public university in the country. They have a 19.2 BILLION dollar endowment.
Compare that to ours at a measly 2.3 Billion. They're literally 9 times richer than us.
Kentucky and Michigan hired coaches the same year

…and yet it’s the same teams winning as before. Nothing has really changed. Hasn’t changed in football, hasn’t changed in basketball. The only thing that hasn’t changed is Mitch Barnhart.
To a point...yes.
Michigan hasn't exactly been dominating lately....mainly because Juan Howard sucked. The point is May is looking good and because of that, UM WILL throw what ever check hey can to keep him. They absolutely have more money than we do. That's a fact.
They can match Kentucky in coaching pay, but I doubt they’d be willing to match Kentucky in NIL spending. Football will always be a priority for Michigan.
People don’t realize that Kentucky is willing to spend top 3 NIL in football money in basketball. That’s gotten attract someone elite.
They beat us head to head for Lendeborg, so they must not be hurting too badly in that department.
We should still be to field a contender most years, but as much as we hate to admit, we may not be alone at the top of the sport’s hierarchy anymore. There’s probably more schools than ever who can compete if they get the right coach in place.

The problem with May is Michigan has just as good of an NIL as all the blue bloods and they will pay big money to keep him. I’m not sure he’s one we can realistically get, he really wanted that Michigan job and turned down a lot of offers to get it. We can get most but there’s usually a few we probably can’t. That might be one. Michigan NIL for basketball is top 5 along with UK and he just got there.
This is meaningless. Many people at UK think he actually would have taken it if actually called. He wasn’t called. This is his “hey recruits UK wants me and I’m staying put” speech. Barnes did similar twice, and he was never even considered. You can’t go by any of that. He keeps talking about UK too, Likely signaling he’s still here if next time you want to call. Calipari, same stuff. I can recruit the best of the best to Memphis, Memphis is where I want to be, he told a crowd days before leaving for Kentucky at Gibson Donuts he’s staying at Memphis and has no interests in Kentucky. I was there. My buddy jumped and yelled what did I tell you dude. I said we’ll see. 3 days later he was accepting the job. He was offered more money to stay and just had a brand new NBA arena lol. There aren’t many places in college basketball where you’re famous nation wide and more important that the governor. Don’t know how many times this must be said. It’s a hella strong pull.
Again I don’t know how many times this has to be said. Coaches do this for many reasons, number 1 he wants everyone to think he was good enough for the UK job if he’s never offered. It’s for recruiting. Mitch didn’t want to interview him because of the murder he knows that. He’s rehabilitating him image. He wants you to believe he could have had Kentucky and a guy as clean as Mitch is okay with him. He’s not going to talk down bama when he might have to stay there for many more years.
Coach speak y’all come on. If he accepts it we learn nothing and say this same stuff the next time and just continue this cycle. I thought everyone learned enough after Calipari.
Miller had boatloads of talent at Az and even cheated like the dickens and still couldn’t make a Final 4. He’s no prize for a top program
This right here 100% all the other reports are false and we know it because Mitch was on the case and he's ******* LAZY!
