Daily Brews: Michigan athletes ride in helicopters as part of Army National Guard NIL deal

On Friday, the University of Michigan and the Michigan Army National Guard announced a NIL partnership for a recruitment campaign with approximately 120 student-athletes.

It didn’t take long for things to lift off with the agreement as several Michigan Wolverines including Donovan Edwards, Braiden McGregor, Jace Howard, Cade McNamara, J.J. McCarthy and Blake Corum took to the skies in Blackhawk and Chinook helicopters that left from Grand Ledge and circled past the Big House:
