Why fans should be grateful QB Bryce Underwood came to Michigan in the first place
Despite how things have gone on the field, fans should be grateful QB Bryce Underwood came to Michigan Football in the first place. Here’s why:
www.maizenbrew.com
Underwood was not sulking or doing anything that would label him as a bad teammate. If anything, he was the loudest and most enthusiastic person on the sideline celebrating the guy who had just taken his job. And judging by how Carr spoke in the postgame press conference, he seemed quite appreciative of that.
Just sayin': It will be interesting to see how this plays out especially if Carr is deemed to be at least halfway successful and it looks like Carr will likely be the QB1 in 2027. Underwood has a NIL contract for $12M, which I ass/u/me is $3M a year over 4 years.
1) If Underwood transfers he'll probably forfeit the remaining $6M and there is no way any other team is going to offer him anything more than "chump change" to transfer to their school. This option really sucks as it will save scUM $6M of NIL money.
2) If Underwood decides to stay he should still get the remaining $6M; however, he'll kill his hopes for an NFL career (which he doesn't have anyway) and (barring an injury to Carr) he will be sitting on the bench watching Carr play for 2 years.

Dude must have a TEAM of PR people at his disposal. Commentators covering up for all his fuckups. Talking about how great of a teammate he is.....in the same games where he's shown screaming at people after turnovers or fuckups. Now we're highlighting this performative bullshit?

Just sayin': I don't think anybody has ever accused Underwood of being smart; however, a smart young man in Underwood's position out of high school really should consider:
a. Hey, I'm the #1 recruit, I'm a QB, and I actually believe that I'll have a glorious NFL carrier after college. However, I know that lot's of other athletes that were in my position didn't, blew all the money, didn't graduate, and ended up with a "nothing job" the rest of their life.
b. If I can't make the NFL after 3 or 4 years at scUM, I probably can't do any better elsewhere. After 3 years if it looks like I'll go high in the NFL draft I'll go. First round draft pick get millions in guaranteed money. If I'm not projected as a first round pick I'll stay a 4th year at scUM, graduate, and then take my chances in the NFL draft.
c. To hedge my bet and/or secure my future; every year I'll invest my $3M in Michigan tax free municipal bonds; i.e. at a 5% rate that's $150,000 a year.
Individual bond yields vary based on the issuer's credit rating, structure, and maturity timeline tracked via Michigan Municipal Bonds:

If he has halfway decent advisors, he stays and banks the 6M. Zero chance that he's a high pick with guaranteed money that would offset the 6m.

He's a cautionary tale for players; THIS is why you take as much as you can get, as much upfront or guaranteed as you can get because you just never know.
He's a cautionary tale for teams: THIS is why you don't pay as much upfront or guarantee it....
