I don't use social media much but all over Michigan-based Twitter there's this spin that Harbaugh is a "players coach" who favors the athletes being paid.  And while I know it to be true that he's CURRENTLY saying this, as recently as two years ago he was absolutely NOT saying this.  He was cautioning against. 

Recently, he has made comments that he would take "less salary" to see players get paid now (which he won't be doing), but in 2021, when California allowed NIL to proceed, Harbaugh was actually against the idea based on the Pandora's Box theory.  His thought was to allow anyone, of any age, to go to the NFL.  He went so far as to suggest he would be open to some type of pay if it would curtail cheating, which is richer than Jeff Bezos.

Anyway, time and time again this guy has proven to be nothing but a lying, self-serving, sack of crap.  He's going to leave college football, so on his way out the door he makes himself look like a champion of players because it won't affect him at all.  But let us not forget he was against this very concept no less than two years ago.  Lets also not forgot he and his wife will adopt all the unwanted babies, but that's a story for another day...that also won't happen.
