President Trump appears to take jab at Michigan football while talking about NIL

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Michigan Wolverines football program has been in the news lately following the recent firing and arrest of former head coach Sherrone Moore.
Moore’s incident spread nationally, giving the University of Michigan unwanted press.
For some, the best time to kick a person is when they are down, as President Donald Trump appeared to take a jab at the football program while discussing NIL.
Trump strongly criticized name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals in college sports, calling the current state a “disaster.”
He criticized the large sums paid to college athletes, particularly in football, saying colleges cannot afford to pay quarterbacks millions of dollars straight out of high school.
“You can’t pay a quarterback $14 million to come out of high school. They don’t even know if he’s going to be a very good player,” Trump said.
The high school athlete Trump was allegedly talking about was true freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood.
