    I was a student at UM from '92--'96. For $75 we got a full sheet of home game tickets. What are students charged on their account now?

    It's HOW they did it. No loading up on 5 star recruits, no flashbang offense. You can still win playing real football.

    Went to my first Michigan game back in 1995 and all tickets were $25. My friend said tickets wouldn't go up because it's for the students. Oh how the times have sadly changed

    The NCAA was comfy being a selectively-biased keystone cop organization. Nothing about the NCAA was forward thinking - they were reactive. Glad to see them pushed into complete irrelevance.

    Florida state is doing this right now with their stadium renovation. Making it a pro style experience. The average fan is no longer the client. Rich donors are. I'm gonna have to give up my tickets to michigan next year if prices go up again. And I have endzone seats. Sad day.

    Jim, I think you’re giving too much credit cfp. Let’s just call it. ESPN is calling ALL the shots. The are running roughshod over the college sports scene. Or atleast the ones they want, the ones that make them the most money.

    No wonder Nick Sabin bailed out of this mess. Bo, Woody, and Bear wouldn’t have faired any better. Maybe if they’d a started paying players back in the 70s when it was first proposed they could have avoided this disaster.

    Saban bailed because he was losing his recruiting monopoly, period. NIL destroyed his little fiefdom.

    Yup, Mr Brandstatter. I could not agree more. Of course, it is disappointing to lose the great coaches but they need to do, what they need to do. Looking forward to Coach Moore's staff. It is going to be an interesting year with a brutally tough schedule. I'll be cheering with you this year and GO BLUE!

    Jim - I agree with you 100%! Michigan has had some great coaches over the history of the program and every one of them has been replaced at some point. Jim is still a Wolverine and I wish him and the coaches that went to SD all the best! Sherrone is going to do a great job and I'm excited as a fan about the future!

    Mahomes definitely was the difference. That muffed punt was huge. Turned all the momentum. Totally agree with you on that. At the end of regulation, the 49ers definitely played really soft coverage. That wasn't good too. 49ers definitely should have won the game, but they couldn't finish. Love the perspective Mr. Brandstatter.

    Hi Jim - appeciate your perspectives as always. Questions for a potential future podcast - how far away do you think the Lions are from winning the Superbowl? What in your expert view are key needs in the draft and also with free agency? Agreed Patrick Mahomes is an amazing player and has an ability to "rise to the occasion". I was glad to see Jake Moody do well in his big moment! Kind regards and thank you!

    Learning experience for the Lions and their coaching staff, football is a 60 minute plus game. You win as a team and you lose as a team.

    The kicker situation crossed my mind as well, particularly on the second 4th down decision to go for it instead of trying the field goal......the camera panned a rather stern look on our kicker, as if to say, "Why aren't you giving me a chance to add 3 more points to our total?"......am not saying the score would've ended up 37-34 had Campbell gone that route and made both of them, but it certainly would've dictated the thinking on the 49ers and their play calls......I agree, you take the points on the road in a crucial game, you may have to put your own thinking aside to trust the offense to execute it to perfection, which of course ended up not happening either time......and alas, the cries of "Wait 'til next year" arise again for a 67th straight season......UGH!!!
