Michigan won because Dusty May understood better than anyone else how to build a monster portal team

Posted Apr 9, 2026
It took Dusty May just two years as a high-major coach to crack the code on how to win it all by building through the portal. Nobody's done it better. May is only 49, and if he remains in college for the next decade-plus, there's a fair chance that his first national title run will not double as his last. This team's 37-3 record will stand tall and age beautifully. (CBS Sports)
