Insane waste of money, some of the TV money should go to the academic mission of the University.I wonder how many schools will actually be able to afford putting 20 more on scholarship, especially with up to $22M/year in revenue sharing coming
It does. When you think of the fact that the athletic department pays the general fund (the academic side) of the University for the tuition of each of the 650 athletes, then that amounts to $13M per year. That sounds like pretty good academic support to the University to me.Insane waste of money, some of the TV money should go to the academic mission of the University.

The University of Iowa gets far more ROI from the exposure from the football program by reinvesting the maximum amount back into the football program.Insane waste of money, some of the TV money should go to the academic mission of the University.

I said they need a GM to manage the roster and pay. In this case nepotism has been a very very good thing. Way more loyal with father-in-law as coach.One of the most noteworthy moments of Iowa football's media day was the announcement that Tyler Barnes' job had been changed to general manager and chief of staff for the Hawkeye program.
Tyler joins Chad Leistikow for the first half of the linked podcast where they discuss his changing role and the future of a 105-player roster limit.

One of the more interesting things I took from that interview is that Barnes said every other college "GM" he's talked to is not planning on going to 105 scholarships, which honestly I think is smart. I think the best move (which it sounds like they're doing) is moving to 95 scholarships and keep 10 roster spots for walk-ons. I also thought it was interesting that in the conversations Barnes has had with Lester, they're going to up the scholarship number for WRs by at least 2. I thought it was a really good interview and it's good to see nepotism play out to the positive, rather than the negative.One of the most noteworthy moments of Iowa football's media day was the announcement that Tyler Barnes' job had been changed to general manager and chief of staff for the Hawkeye program.
