'One More Year' fund started to try and retain Corum, other key players at Michigan

A crowdfunding effort is underway to try and keep a handful of Michigan Wolverines with NFL aspirations in college for another season.

Created by Valiant Management Group, the “One More Year” fund is live now on their website. This NIL fund is designed to retain players like Blake Corum, Zak Zinter, Trevor Keegan, Cornelius Johnson and others who have not yet declared for the NFL Draft. All proceeds will go straight to the players who return for the 2023 season.

Any amount of money can be donated, but if you donate $5,000 or more, you will receive exclusive donor benefits. Those benefits include Zoom calls with the players, signed memorabilia and more. If you wish to donate more than $5,000, you are encouraged to email Valiant at fundraising@valiantuofm.com to receive those benefits.

Years ago, the NCAA penalized, or in a couple of cases, terminated college sports programs if their alumni and boosters were paying the athletes.

What's the word when athletes are being paid for performance? I remember now, professionals.
