The biggest news in college football this week was the NIL-influenced flip of star high school quarterback Bryce Underwood.

Originally committed to the LSU Tigers, there were reports that the school was offering him a deal that would pay $1.5 million annually for four years. It was a deal that the Michigan Wolverines were willing to blow out of the water.
