Like 27 just said, they bring the NY market. That's where the revenue comes from. Totally agree, but I do think Rutgers has the biggest risk and reward of the candidates. If Schiano stuck around long term and they entered the Big 10, he'd have a chance of building a long term strong program...

Rutgers and Syracuse aren't academic lightweights, and I'd think along with Notre Dame they're the only three feasible candidates. 9. University of Chicago (they're in the "academic Big 10," if I recall correctly) 14. Northwestern University(IL) 20. University of Notre Dame(IN) 24...

Great post, Messi18Man. Michigan definitely learned there lesson. My favorite candidates that seem to be on the short list are Texas and Georgia. I'd especially like Texas after the excellent Rose Bowl we played against them, and to further boost the recruiting inroads we've been making there...

You should take a look at this thread before saying that. Goebel has two great coaches and schools to choose from.

Carr got a 4.6/5.0 at coachratings.com for fulfilling promises made to recruits. Such claims are overstated by rival fanbases, which is natural. The Michigan fanbase does the same thing over the Clarett debacle, etc. The only school for which all the bad rumors and stereotypes are true is...

Tressel and Carr are both held in very high regard by their players.

Scout $ (Michigan) Goebel talks about his visit to Michigan. He expects to decide in a few weeks.

Louisville Scout $ Michigan, Rutgers, and Clemson lead over North Carolina and Virginia Tech.

Scout $ Brandon discusses his leaders and will not make an early decision.

For a free outlet that covers every team in college football, CFN does a very good job. I thought their UM article was solid too, and I only had minor disagreements. Sunday Morning QB does a great job, too.

The purpose is not to increase capacity. If a press release includes that phrase, it's to distinguish from earlier proposals that would've decreased capacity. The main purpose is to add luxury boxes and improve the facilities in general. The luxury boxes will greatly increase revenue and...

Totally agree with all of this. My only real point was that any school that gets an official has a chance. Kids may love the coaches, find the city to be a great fit, like the uniforms, etc. Never and definitely just aren't words that belong in recruiting.

Pryor a "done deal" to Michigan is unlikely, as Michigan offered a QB just yesterday (see GBW front page). I'm curious to see if those of you completely ruling us out have any facts to support that, though.

Free Scout 5/23 Fred won the Overall MVP award at a regional All-American Combine, and likes U-M, MSU, and OSU. I think that quote needs to be repeated. :wink2:

Michigan insiders are starting to rumble that McGuffie is a silent verbal. Take that however you like; I personally find the phrase "silent verbal" meaningless.
