Michigan has removed the interim tag from Mike Boynton and signed him to a 2-year contract.

they just want to worry about football, they've been knocked down a few pegs since IU took over

Yea, can’t remember the last 2 yr contract I saw that wasn’t an extension of some sort. 
 

I bet the 2nd yr buyout is reasonably small making it really a 1 year contract. 

Can’t imagine you’re not right. This feels like it was done strictly to remove the interim tag for roster building purposes and it’s otherwise utterly meaningless.

A thank you for not losing a single player to the portal.

Here’s definitely the thing if you’re gonna roster build by wading neck deep into the international market, you better make sure they make it to campus.

  Or you were only relying on them to fill out a roster and not as key rotation players.

Michigan's independent investigation into the culture of its athletic department is expected to be released publicly on Thursday. A decision on the future of athletic director Warde Manuel is expected in the coming days, sources tell @PeteThamel and me.

I’ll go to my grave asking this question: if you’re playing an event where you can drop a hundo, why the hell are you playing there? Just go play with the kids in the driveway across the street. Same freakin’ thing.

Gonna be quite the little mess if/when some judge inevitably grants this class a 5th year and some schools are adding guys in August or September while others can’t because they actually filled their rosters. And as gross as I find that, hey, Alexis would solve this roster’s biggest hole very, very  nicely.

Just commented on this on another thread.  Teams are allowed 15 now.  And I feel the teams that can muster an extra payday would be willing to go past 13 for some of the guys that might be eligible.  I feel they will come out of the woodwork. Also, seems like high odds of happening legally in my opinion.

If this happens I think we not only get Sam Alexis but possibly a 14th being a 5th year senior guard 3pt specialist

If these 25 players get granted junction life will be very interesting. Going to be a whole new portal

Not sure who you're referring to but if it's Wilkerson I think that ship has sailes. And, if the roster exceeds 13 players there are revenue sharing implications so I don't think that's in the cards anyway.

I would be more than content with just adding Alexis.

what do you call a player who plays for 5 teams in 5 years????
