It’s “Blue Chips” coming to life.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy said he will spend up to $3 million annually to help the Michigan football team land a premier quarterback now that players can be paid under NIL rules.
“Michigan — I will be the quarterback guy,” Portnoy said Thursday. “You just say, ‘Dave, you go,’ — I’ll talk to Sherrone . ‘Who do you guys want? Who’s in there? Give me a group, I’ll go get them. I will sign them, million, $2 million, whatever it is.'”When pressed by “Pardon My Take” host Dan “Big Cat” Katz about what lengths he would go to land a stud, Portnoy revealed the $3 million figure for his alma mater.
The 1994 film “Blue Chips” highlighted 30 years ago the hypothetical situation of players being illegally paid by a desperate coach and program to stay relevant, but now players can be paid legally.Sluka’s issues stem from an alleged $100,000 payday, while Portnoy is hoping his offer will allow Michigan to compete for the elite of the elite each year.
