Michigan Title Triggers Dan Orlovsky’s Month-Long ‘M’ Earring Bet

A timing gap in the posted terms could let him serve the month during a light on-air schedule.

Overview

  • Michigan beat UConn 69-63 on Monday, activating Taylor Lewan’s public wager against UConn alum and ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky.
  • The posted terms require Orlovsky to wear a single right-side Michigan block M dangle earring on every media appearance for one month, with a missed day restarting the clock.
  • Outlets noted the terms do not specify which month, which could allow him to delay the start to a quieter part of his TV calendar.
  • On ESPN Radio’s Unsportsmanlike, Adam Schefter recapped the details as Chris Canty said Orlovsky once took over a year to pay a lost bet.
  • There is no confirmation he has begun the penalty, and coverage is watching whether he complies quickly given his recent on-air criticism and past delays.
