He didn't want to play for Hairball but was running to play for Sherrone and co who have looked like they are in way over their heads all season? A true DFBIA spin. Makes total sense.

Is 4-Star Tight End Andrew Olesh Flipping From Michigan Wolverines To Oregon Ducks?
Bryce Underwood is the No. 1 quarterback in the 2025 recruiting class and recently made the switch from the LSU Tigers to the Michigan Wolverines. That move could impact the decision for tight end Andrew Olesh to potentially switch to the Oregon Ducks.
Major recruiting news occurred earlier this week when five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood decided to switch from the LSU Tigers to the Michigan Wolverines. How does the flip of the No. 1 overall recruit in the Class of 2025 affect four-star tight end Andrew Olesh's college decision?
Olesh, the current Michigan commit is still considering a move over to coach Dan Lanning of the Oregon Ducks. His biggest question to stay with the Wolverines was surrounded around who would be his quarterback next season and that was well answered from Michigan coach Sherrone Moore.
The Penn State Nittany Lions are still in the mix for Olesh but it seems now like a two-way race between the Ducks and the Wolverines for the star tight end.
Olesh is the nation's No. 47 overall recruit and the No. 3 tight end in the 2025 recruiting class out of Southern Lehigh in Central Valley, Pennsylvania, according to 247Sports. He's familiar with the atmosphere at Autzen Stadium as Olesh was in attendance for the 38-9 win over the Illinois Fighting Illini back on Oct. 26.

So they are lying bold face to their recruits. That will be a really good look for them later.

Well think about it, technically scUM could be correct:
1) Vacated games and forfeited championships are just for the 2021 - 2023 seasons; no reason to worry about that moving forward.
2) Show cause penalties are irrelevant to future seasons as most of the coaches are already gone and coaches still there will probably still be there. No reason to worry about that moving forward either.
3) If there are any financial penalties to scUM, that won't affect future seasons either.
4) If there are any reduction in scholarships, that won't effect players that already have theirs. Besides if scUM needed to they could just cover any lost scholarships with more NIL money.
and
5) Apparently scUM believes that you just shouldn't worry about a couple years of no post season play (and if scUM doesn't have a record of at least 6-6 that won't be an issue anyway).
Maybe not so surprising with the NIL money they reportedly have; (so far) scUM still has a somewhat decent recruiting class lined up for 2025, i.e. #16 in 24/7, #13 in Rivals, and #8 in On3.

Tom Loy just CBed Derek Meadows to Alabama. He was considered a scUM lean just a week ago
I bet these recruits that were supposed to follow Underwood quickly figured out the NIL tank was indeed emptied on Underwood. It’s becoming more and more clear that that was a one time transaction

It's clear that this was more about saving face about keeping another in state 5
qb in state, than what makes holistic sense for the team. They could have grabbed a quality transfer for a million per year, and gotten a few other quality transfers for the million or so of the other money. What we don't know is whether Scum is keeping a lot of money in their transfer portal fund. It seems to some degree that OSU has this strategy in the works this off season.

College is not minor-league pro football, and it's not even close. Salaries are under control whereas in college right now? A kid who's never taken a college snap... multimillionaire. At least when the Browns draft some QB they know what they're paying for.
This version of CFP is not sustainable, I don't think. I don't care how good this Underwood kid is, he's NOT worth 10 million dollars at this stage of his career. Hey, if he can find someone fool enough to pay him that, good for him. He's, as you say, a mercenary now. All that matters is the money. I don't know how a college team can build around that. Watching the goings-on at places like scum south and ass to mouth only serves to confirm this, to me.

But, that's kinda the point, right? The Browns may be dumb, but they knew or should have known what Johnny Manziel was by the time they got their hands on him. Right or wrong, the Browns drafted the "show" at the expense of actual QB talent (NFL talent, no doubt Johnny football was quite an electric college QB).

Fully agree here! We're Underwood from PA, NC, or literally any other state they wouldn't have even paid attention to him. This was all in an effort to keep the best player in MI(who is also the best in the class) home going to scUM. But there don't seem to be any other options at the HS level to get him weapons or OL. I guess that's where they will have to hit the portal, but it won't be for big name/big money players. They're going to have to pursue kids that OSU would pursue as depth, but they will need them as startersIt's clear that this was more about saving face about keeping another in state 5

Why Michigan fans are ignoring the game against Ohio State
See how Michigan fans are hilariously coping with their team's struggles by ignoring the Ohio State game and celebrating an expensive recruit.

Why Michigan fans are ignoring the game against Ohio State
In this article, we break down the bizarre ways Michigan fans are trying to cope with their team’s struggles. From ignoring the Ohio State rivalry to celebrating questionable recruiting wins, it’s a laughable exercise in denial and deflection.
Michigan fans are so embarrassed about their season this year they are claiming they don’t even care about "The Game" against Ohio State. Yep, the same rivalry that defines their season is suddenly no big deal. Why? Because they landed Bryce Underwood, the number one recruit in the country.
It’s like they’re saying, “Who cares if we lose, we won in recruiting!” That’s some world-class mental gymnastics right there. That's like your car got totaled because you have a brand new one, but completely ignore that you spent your entire life savings buying it and are now working two jobs.
Let’s not forget, this is the same Michigan fanbase that has spent all year mocking Ohio State for a "$20 million roster" and criticizing the Buckeyes for paying players through NIL—something that's been legal for years. Fast forward to now, and they’re celebrating Underwood’s commitment, which reportedly came with the largest NIL deal in college football history.
The best part? Underwood lives 20 minutes from Ann Arbor! Michigan needed a record-breaking payout just to land a kid in their own backyard. If that’s not desperation, I don’t know what is.
And it gets even better. Michigan had to call in Larry Ellison—one of the richest men in the world—to help seal the deal. Yes, the founder of Oracle, a guy who didn’t even attend Michigan, had to cut the check to get Underwood to commit. Meanwhile, Ohio State signed the second-best player in the country, Tavien St. Clair, for much less because, get this, he actually wants to be a Buckeye. He’s already recruiting other top players, not just looking to cash in but to win championships. What a concept!
Now, back to this “we won our national championship last year, so who cares” narrative. You mean the championship that could be stripped by the NCAA? The one Michigan won while being investigated for one of the biggest on-field cheating scandals in college sports?
The one where any college football fan laughs at the name 'Connor Stalions' because of how absurd he was and how desperate Michigan was? That’s the title Michigan fans are hanging their hats on? Even if it’s not vacated, it’ll always be remembered as the one Michigan had to cheat for. The program will forever be known as the one that needed an in-person scouting sign-stealing operation just to get over the hump.
It’s times like this that we’re reminded just how fickle and soft the Michigan fanbase really is. A school that proudly calls itself the “leaders and best” now resorts to ignoring and deflecting.
Instead of owning up to the fact that their team is barely bowl-eligible and playing some of the worst football they've seen in years, they just pretend it doesn’t matter. This is the same fanbase that predicted this year’s team would be better than last year's! But now, with "The Game" around the corner, they can’t even take it seriously because deep down, they know what’s coming: Ryan Day and Ohio State are about to get their revenge.
But maybe I shouldn’t be too harsh. After all, in my years watching Ohio State, I’ve only seen one Buckeye team finish a season with six wins or fewer. Meanwhile, Michigan fans have had the pleasure of watching five such seasons in just the last 20 years. Maybe they’ve just gotten used to disappointment.
So yes, Michigan fans can brag about landing Bryce Underwood and winning their coveted games last year. But deep down, they know Ohio State isn’t losing any sleep. While Michigan is shelling out cash to get local recruits, Ohio State is signing players who are focused on winning—not just collecting a payday.

Probably a different thread needed but part of the issue causing confusion is when we use the term CFB for all teams engaged in playing football under the NCAA.
In many ways it is absolutely a professional football league that feeds the NFL.
I agree that a lot needs to get sorted out and one of the main things is defining which brands/teams/programs will continue forward at this level (The Ohio States of old CFB) and which ones want to compete at a lower level. It most resembles early days MLB from what I have read of that era. No union, no salary cap, no draft, no limits on how you acquired players.
I think history tells us to have a sustainable (and that just means sustainably profitable because let's face it, people will watch no matter how "fair/unfair" it is to some teams) you need to have the owners agree to some rules, players in a union and some kind of system for controlling player acquisition.
Add that to the way soccer is done with multiple tiers of pro players and I think you have what CFB as we call it today is going to look like eventually.

Four-star QB, 16, flips from Michigan to A&M
A day before Texas A&M revives its rivalry with Texas, the Aggies got word that four-star 2026 Michigan quarterback pledge Brady Hart has flipped his commitment to A&M and plans to reclassify into the 2025 cycle.
Four-star QB Hart flipping to A&M from Michigan, plans move to '25
Four-star 2026 Michigan quarterback pledge Brady Hart has flipped his commitment to Texas A&M and plans to reclassify into the 2025 cycle, he told ESPN Friday morning.Hart, No. 89 in the ESPN Junior 300, intends to sign with the Aggies when the early signing period opens Dec. 4 and will enroll early next month, joining Texas A&M at just 16 years old.
The 6-foot-5, 185-pound passer from Cocoa, Florida, lands with the Aggies less than two weeks after former Texas A&M quarterback pledge Husan Longstreet flipped his commitment to USC on Nov. 17. On3 was first to report Hart's move on Friday.
Hart's decision to reclassify comes as he leads Florida's Cocoa High School through the state playoffs at the end of his junior season. He first committed to Michigan on June 18 as the No. 8 pocket passer in the 2026 class and remained the Wolverines' highest-rated 2026 pledge before his flip.
