    Why Iowa lost

    They're all bought and paid for. Clark was the highest paid NIL athlete in the history of college athletics this year.

    Why Iowa lost

    Yes, it did cost us a championship to not have a big that could compete in that moment. Clark with a 6'5" big with some decent feet and hands would be a pick and roll nightmare for everyone, including South Carolina. It would be nearly unstoppable - heck- her with Czinano at 6'3" was nearly in...

    Ok, reverting back to the men’s program….

    Its more like a $200 million business (already at $167 million in 23 FY, and in 2025 and beyond, the B1G revenue is set to explode by $40 million per year to a total in the low $100+). I agree completely what we are seeing is the leadership component at Iowa is not serious about competing at the...

    JuJu Watkins & her Career Points projection (it's gonna be close)

    Its a long way to go, and injuries, her team, her coach are all going to impact her final numbers. Other teams will modify how they defend her as well. If she does break her records, I'll tip my hat. Right now I'm not really seeing Juju as in the same stratosphere of Clark. At this point she is...

    Devries to w virginia

    There’s zero reason not to do it now. Iowa’s getting more money from TV this year in new money than the total cost of Fran’s contract - which is $14 million I’m going to be brutally honest - I’ve been disappointed with Beth so far. I thought she had the killer instinct when she finally swung...

    OT (sorta): is the 2 year deal the new 4 year deal in the NFL?

    Unless a player has a giant signing bonus and deal in general, less is more right now because the CBA is set to increase significantly in the next few years. Most deals don’t guarantee beyond a year or two anyways because teams don’t want to be on the hook for injuries or underperformance. So...

    2024 Lester's Offense

    Iowa never does anything interesting for the public in spring practice.

    Over $100,000 raised TODAY for SWARM

    I laugh at these losers that apparently can't afford to send a $20 or a $100 every once in a while so the program they invest hundreds of hours of time in doesn't suck

    Should Cade McNamara be a certainty to be the starting QB?

    It was egregious not having him be the starter for the bowl game in the first place. Not giving him #1 reps considering Deacon’s laughable history as starter is coaching malpractice.

    Realistic Landing Spot for Brian

    Remember that a lot of assistant coaching roles go to people not just because you can coach a position group, but because of what you add in the meeting room with the OC on game plans, philosophy, self-scouting, and smarts. There’s not a lot of spots available for meathead dbags that aren’t...

    Joe Philbin as OC?

    Joe Philbin isn’t the guy you want. First, NFL coaches aren’t a good fit for the college game. With the hashes, the rules for blocking downfield, the cut blocking rules, etc, this might as well be a different sport. Second, this guy hasn’t spent even a year as an offensive coordinator in...

    Salary cap? Luxury tax?

    Joining the Swarm ain’t that big of a deal. $200 per year is donating basically 1 day of work per year for most people. So work a little overtime one week and help your favorite team be more competitive, not to mention they do charitable acts in exchange for the money. I personally put my...

    FSU to the BIG in next 30 days?

    I’ll believe it when I see it. They may announce a future conference affiliation when their grant of rights is up, but the money and contracts aren’t there for them to move. FSU signed its rights away in an ironclad deal with ESPN thru 2036. Fox might agree to give them a pro-rata share but I...

    Anyone else hoping this is Frans last season?

    Fran never really evolved beyond his expertise as an offensive assistant. He is not capable of moving Iowa to the next stage of being a contender for 2nd weekend NCAAs or Final Fours. The last 5 years were the peak for him.
  15. mikesright

    I don’t see it…this season is just a rinse and repeat of previous seasons…staring down the barrel of 13+ losses.

    I have zero clue why this administration holds on to Fran like he’s Kirk or something.

    Beth doesn’t GET it…

    The move to fire Brian helped take the pressure off of everyone. Kirk’s joking around again, Brian’s coaching his rear off, the fanbase is just enjoying the team again instead of chanting to fire an underperforming coach, and BF is getting the sendoff he deserves with some positivity for a...

    Ferentz is Going to Play to Win @ Nebraska for a Number of Reasons

    They’re still barely bowl eligible and their schedule wasn’t super tough. Not a lot of key injuries either. If Iowa beats Nebraska, Ferentz is a shoe-in.
