Dave Portnoy recently said during a Barstool podcast that he would pay $3 million in NIL money so that the Michigan football team can always land an elite quarterback.

Michigan football is ranked 10th in the country heading into its showdown with new Big Ten member and 2023-2024 national title game opponent Washington football in Seattle this weekend with Alex Orji at the controls of Coach Sherrone Moore's and Offensive Coordinator Kirk Campbell's offense.

And much like how Portnoy prefers to operate, he’s going to do things his way. Portnoy doesn’t want to deal with any collectives and he wants to essentially get in and get out — finding the Wolverines the best transfer (or recruit) and let Michigan football handle it.

Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports said he'd be willing to give Michigan $3 million in NIL funds to help them find a quarterback in the future. With the lack of rules and regulations around NIL, there isn't anything that says Portnoy wouldn't be able to do so.
