That’s why May is so good he took a bunch of castaways or underutilized players and won a championship with them. Michigan just adapted to the change in rules first.
"Sometimes", it's about the money.
"Sometimes", it's about moving up a level in competition to showcase your talents.
Quite possibly Wisconsin's best player, John Blackwell entered the transfer portal, I wouldn't call him a "castaway" or "underutilized".
Illinois would like to have him (his father played at Illinois 20-some years ago), he's from Michigan, I'll say Michigan would like to have him too, if he does actually leave Wisconsin.
An article I read yesterday said entering the portal probably added 5-10% to the NIL agreement the player had the previous year as his current school tries to encourage him to stay.

Id have to say Mi and UCLA put together the best basketball money can buy
