The reason for promoting Mike is to keep the roster together.
Let the exodus commence…
Thoughts on player movement at Michigan the next couple weeks. Really late in the game at this point.

And now I'm remembering Izzo and Bruce palling around before IL-MSU games 15 yrs ago and need a strong palate cleanser.
I would be shocked if they didn’t lose anyone , but I highly doubt they lose more than 2.

All of the B1G coaches, including Brad, are revoltingly reverential to Izzo. As are all the reporters.
Izzo is a great coach without question, but Nick Saban accomplished twice as much and was still well understood to be a miserable curmudgeon. Why Izzo gets to the Mayor of Basketballtown is beyond me.
And even more shocking if it's anyone who is going to play a lot. There can't be too many teams left with the dollars available to match what the main guys are getting at Michigan.
Boynton knows how to sell players. He got Cade Cunningham to OK St, despite the post-season ban. Though, his brother being on the staff probably didn't hurt.. Nonetheless, he got the best HS player in the country to go to Stillwater... You can't do that if you aren't a bit of a salesman.
He won't likely do things too much differently than Dusty, though I'd wager its a significant step back from an X's and O's perspective... Might be enough to move the needle in 2-3 B1G games.

My early guess is because Michigan has a lot of money and is coming off a national title (and they are making interim coaching moves to try and keep the roster intact). This will hold some of the dropoff for the moment. The longterm outlook is what should make the rest of us relatively happy. Great news to see May out of Ann Arbor.Michigan moved to 12 to 1 to win it all on Fanduel after the news. Circa has hardly moved, +850. They were right around 8 to 1 everywhere before this news. I am surprised there hasn't been a sharper, more immediate reaction. Coaches have so much influence over a program at the college level, this has to seriously hurt their potential for this season.
The power of 1-way markets I suppose.

Looks like the changes are trickling in at other books- Draftkings has them at +1400 now. They might be the first book (aside from Kalshi) to drop UM below us.

While that is a very strong factor, consider now that all the Michigan players have an increased value on the open market where they’re the only supply while various teams may present a high demand. The players might like Boynton but they’ll probably like double their money better.

tough for UM. also, man did IU miss out on their potential golden goose. love pointing that out again
if BU were to leave today, I imagine OA would be the guy, at least for the season
