Apparently his money brought LSU's QB commitment over to Michigan. Ellison has some deep pockets.
Portnoy needled his colleagues on the Barstool podcast, arguing that Michigan’s newfound “unlimited” resources will change the landscape of the sport.
“The second you get anyone worth looking at — yoink, he’s mine,” Portnoy said about how other schools won’t be able to compete with Ellison’s wealth. “When our guy, Larry Ellison, zeroes in on somebody, it’s a done deal.”

And for those unfamiliar he is founder of Oracle. Just absolutely massive cash cow of a company.

He's worth around $200 billion. Fighting for 2nd place in the world's wealthiest list. Distant 2nd to Musk. Kind of a low-profile guy, considering.

They better get a foothold on this NIL $$$, because when it gets out of hand and I think it already has, Not gonna be good for college football. Like someone said only 4-5 schools have a legitimate shot to win it all and I think we are already there. Sad state for college football, but really there’s only been a handful that can win a championship. Guess we need to get used to this don’t think anything’s gonna change. Who knows
