Completely unsustainable situation occurring in college athletics
yep... maybe 7-8 colleges that can realistically play this game,.. year in and year out.Completely unsustainable situation occurring in college athletics
It's all going to come crashing downCompletely unsustainable situation occurring in college athletics
Completely unsustainable situation occurring in college athletics
Have to get some on the court success (NCAA tournament) to get the $$$ rolling in. Will have a hard time attaining that success without a quality transfer or two....and how does Iowa compete when our NIL Collective is only doing the big deals for football players?
This is why the ability to recruit out of high school is even more important now - get guys in early and it's going to be substantially cheaper to develop and/or retain
Has nothing to do with the college.Completely unsustainable situation occurring in college athletics
The only problem with the above is after you train them a couple of years and they mature they enter the portal and some other team benefits/rewarded with their last/best two years of play. The current College BBall debacle is untenable and eventually people will start tuning out IMO.This is why the ability to recruit out of high school is even more important now - get guys in early and it's going to be substantially cheaper to develop and/or retain
I think you are on to something here. ^^ The value of a college coach is lower, in my mind anyway, if they are reduced to being a year-to-year assembler of a roster full of "for hire" players. Truly...if that is the "job", it isn't a multi-million dollar per year salary job...IMO. Another way of thinking about it...is there really a significant difference in the quality of "in game" coaching and strategy from say a big name D1 coach making millions v. say a clever D2 coach somewhere that might be making 6 figures?The money is there to sustain player's salaries---but that money is going to the head coaches/AD bureucrats, and support non-revenue womens sports. Mens college Basketball and Football are now professional sports.
Iowa ought to be in good position with Top20 sports revenue---but hands are tied on how to spend that money.
$200K-$400K seems cheap---but we need a better mechanism to get interested Hawkeye fans to contribute towards better results than the SWARM. We also need a Billionaire sponsor.
When we pay Fran or his future replacement North of $3.2 million/year and we could buy a roster like ISU's for $1.2 million/year, I thing Iowa fans are suffering mediocrity because our money is not going where it needs to go.
KSU athletes vs Iowa's largely homegrown talent will be interesting game.
Actually, I see it as the opposite. Don't waste time for months or years (recruiting) trying to get some 17 year old to pick your school. Just put out a "want ad" every year let the players come to you, so to speak.This is why the ability to recruit out of high school is even more important now - get guys in early and it's going to be substantially cheaper to develop and/or retain
This ….and I doubt substantial donations will be rolling in for a team coached by McCaffrey. A 40 year history of mediocrity isn’t going to open the wallets. Why send money to a coach who would selfishly play his sons over more talented players?Have to get some on the court success (NCAA tournament) to get the $$$ rolling in. Will have a hard time attaining that success without a quality transfer or two....
Agree but I was a CMAC fan. IMO he brought a lot to the table even though he wasn’t much of a scorer.This ….and I doubt substantial donations will be rolling in for a team coached by McCaffrey.

Absolutely ridiculous. Just some context as well. His numbers are exactly 1/2 of Clarks scoring and assist averages. Whats a generational talent worth?
Well you know that as much as the NCAA has had their ASSES kicked around in the courts there is ZERO chance they would push for caps on teams spending. In effect that would be keeping players from actually making what they can on this NIL stupidity. That ain't happening......This is insane. Each team needs a cap and then each team can decide how it wants to spend the money.
This horseshit of ‘going to the highest bidder’ is not sustainable.
Theres NO sanity in college sports now.......So $200k for a PG is insane, but paying Juwan Howard $3M just to go away is sane. OK.

Who said they loved it? This system is so FAR beyond broken......You guys love these student athletes becoming millionaires. Sell your homes and start cutting some checks.
Come on Fran you got that. Slip a few of them bills over the NIL guy. Think of it as more job security.
If you're going to games and buying merch, you are in the mix. Don't go to games and they'll catch on. The demand for athletics and gambling on such sports has made it into the laughable situation it is now.Who said they loved it? This system is so FAR beyond broken......
Love it! Start your own team! Don't mess around.Boys. If I win Mega Millions tonight, I’m buying us championship roster
This is a good idea. Win/win. Is there a deadline for a player to declare they are in the portal?Come on Fran you got that. Slip a few of them bills over the NIL guy. Think of it as more job security.
For that price, the fans might have to sit on boxes.
