For only the second time ever, a public university has been named the best college in the U.S. by Money. The University of Michigan topped the list after Money Magazine “analyzed dozens of data points to produce a ranking we think will be useful to applicants who are increasingly looking for more choices.”

“Michigan pulls off a hat trick in this year’s rankings, scoring high across each of the three categories we look at,” Money’s Kaitlin Mulhere wrote. “But it performs especially well on the affordability measures.

“Money estimates the in-state price of a degree from Michigan is less than that of 600-some colleges in our rankings. More than 9,000 in-state undergraduates, about 54%, receive grants from the university. About a quarter of them attend tuition-free.”

The Brandr Group (TBG), a brand management and licensing agency founded by Wesley Haynes, announced a new group licensing agreement for Michigan student-athletes Tuesday morning. The partnership includes all 29 sports and grants “the collective use of student-athletes’ NIL in licensing and marketing programs, co-branded with Michigan Athletics logos and marks.” 

All Michigan student-athletes will be able to join the TBG program voluntarily and allow the organization to facilitate unique group NIL opportunities. TBG currently has group rights agreements with some of the biggest brands in college football along with the NFL, NBA and MLB players’ associations. 

New Michigan basketball point guard Jaelin Llewellyn has been considered a ‘graduate transfer’ ever since he committed to the Maize and Blue. Well, now, he’s officially a graduate of Princeton, going through the commencement ceremony Tuesday.

“Graduated from Princeton University today alongside my best friends — with my family, more friends and coaches in attendance,” Llewellyn tweeted. “Been a good day. Next stop… Ann Arbor.”
