Checking in on the Big Ten’s Flex Protect XVIII scheduling model
For whatever reason, I have always been fascinated with the administrative side of college athletics. No, not NIL budgeting and HR policies, but things like the Big Ten’s television contracts (evergreen FYI: FOX does not get first dibs at picking the Big Noon Saturday game every week). Another exciting (read: nerdy) element of college football […]

DE Lugard Edokpayi’s path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026
The edge room got a whole lot better with the addition of John Henry Daley, a potential All-American pass rusher who came to Ann Arbor from Utah with head coach Kyle Whittingham.

Friday Discussion: Should college football be played on natural grass?
The FIFA World Cup wrapped up last weekend with Spain taking the crown on natural grass at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Per FIFA regulations, World Cup games are required to be played on natural surfaces, meaning that several of the large American stadiums had to lay down sod to meet those requirements.

Column: U-M AD Warde Manuel’s biggest failures are moral, not sporting
Sports fans are deeply irrational creatures. There’s nothing logical about attaching such a fundamental part of your identity to a bunch of people you’ve never met who only share in common a certain color cloth they wear, who chase a ball or puck around for about three hours every weekend. Yet billions of people do. […]

Michigan Football 2026 position group breakdown: Wide receivers
A lot has looked off the mark for Michigan football the last two years, but one spot that’s been a unique source of frustration is the wide receiver room.

Michigan Football Coaching Spotlight: Koy Detmer Jr.

3 non-negotiable traits Michigan’s next Athletic Director must have
The job description of a college athletic director is as long as it’s ever been. While Warde Manuel’s pending departure from the University of Michigan feels warranted, there’s no denying he had some major successes along with his failures. Michigan athletics will soon start a new chapter — a new president and AD are on […]
DE Nate Marshall’s path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026
During the last two seasons, it was clear the Michigan Wolverines lacked two key traits on both sides of the football that were a major emphasis during the Jim Harbaugh era: physicality and toughness.
