  • The Michigan NIL Law
  • Whether Michigan's policy imposes additional restrictions on UM Athletes beyond what the law imposes
  • How does Michigan's NIL policy stack up next to MSU and OSU?
  • MSU's policy might be a little more permissive on alcohol and gambling NIL deals, but otherwise the policies are substantially similar
  • MSU and OSU completely ban their staff/coaches from procuring or developing NIL opportunity for their athletes - Michigan's does not.
