Michigan’s Kyle Whittingham makes head-scratching NIL comments.

Michigan · Michigan State

Offensive line coach Jim Harding has taken over Beck's duties and will be tasked with outscoring coach Dan Lanning's high-flying Oregon Ducks in Week 11 at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, a job made all the more difficult by Dylan Raiola and the rest of his teammates. Whittingham shared controversial comments about the the Ducks' Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) expenditures prior to the game, which many Wolverines fans took issue with on social media.

That's his background, but tireless recruiter. He really does a great job recruiting.

It doesn't hurt that you have $50+ million at your disposal, in essence, (to) outbid everybody. I mean, that's a credit to their program and their dedication and desire to win and the support they have."
