Michigan Football Report: James Yoder investigates the brand new company running the Ann Arbor NIL Club - a digital media-driven entity geared at providing Michigan football fans a platform to donate money towards 2022 Michigan football players in a ‘legal’ manner under Name, Image and Likeness. On the surface, this seems like a great idea, but under the surface,Yoder uncovers some troubling financial terms and contract language that puts members of Jim Harbaugh’s Wolverines team in danger of being locked into a contract longer than they may realize and losing out on potentially millions in predatory ‘fees’ that Yoke and founders Mick Assaf and Nic Weishar, both former Notre Dame football players who graduated high school in 2016 and 2014 respectively, charge student-athletes as part of their push for athlete-led ‘NIL collectives’.

Michigan football rumors: More on Ann Arbor NIL Club can be found on their website - https://www.annarbornilclub.com/ and more on Yoke Gaming - https://www.yoketeam.com/. This week, Michigan football players launched an NIL fund with a 2 year old company called Yoke. 115 Michigan football players are set to benefit from the ‘Ann Arbor NIL Club’. Fans can support w/ $5 per month or more - but...18% goes to NIL platform Yoke. While their goal is to reach $50k per month in revenue, we are concerned with the MASSIVE fees and predatory contract language that Yoke engages in. $26k has been raised in 48 hours by 1,051 donors (Avg. $25/donor), but $5k of that goes to Yoke for... what exactly? As far as we can tell, Yoke has has no track record, run by inexperienced owners, and uses predatory legal language, like what attorney Darren Heitner pointed out in 2021: https://twitter.com/DarrenHeitner/status/1412473331438268417
