^This. College sports are now broken, perhaps to never return. Oh well, it was a good run.
Don't forget sports media's role. The constant need for content, creates unnecessary drama and adds to the increased demand for a "true" national champion. I'm old, I miss the days of just being happy making the Rose Bowl. Now get off my lawn.
You knew this was coming 😂😂

Rep for Miami star Wong: Better NIL deal or exit
The NIL agent for Hurricanes star Isaiah Wong says the guard will enter the transfer portal if his NIL compensation isn't increased.
I guess Wong wants his NIL compensation increased.
This is what some people believe these players deserve. Free education isn't enough. It's going to end up driving away fans. There are plenty of people who think buying players is pathetic.
Here we go. The toothpaste is out of the tube, no putting it back in.
it’s gonna get $hitty.
These guys are going to continue playing musical chairs with their hands out until the music stops and some decent players are going to be out in the cold.
Looks like he wants some of that drug $ floating around the city of Miami. Say what you will but Fran would say take a hike and I’d appreciate that.
There are plenty like me who think the salary disparities are asinine.
Just helped lead his team to the elite 8 and sounds like he wasn’t getting much and they bring in a guy from a bottom feeder Big 12 team and he gets 400K? Would you be happy?
They aren't getting fafsa and a scholarship last I checked.
They aren't student athletes. Call them something else and pay them whatever.
Strict, enforced academic standards needed. No PC whining about it being racist.
In another 2-3 years many kids will no longer have to concern themselves with improving their games in hopes of making it to the league for big pay days ….they’ll have already made enough to retire before leaving college.
and if it's truly pay for play, which some people allege, are college athletes amateurs or professional? and should professionals be allowed to play in college?
Is there a possibility that fans like me can sue every institution and athlete for wrecking collegiate sports with their fraudulent pay for play schemes?
With all these big deals flying around I think college b-ball is in much more trouble than football. 2 guys can make all the difference in basketball. To add to it, teams like Kansas can basically ignore football and put all the NIL money towards b-ball and make it not even remotely fair. A school like Iowa has no chance to compete with a schools like that.
College sports is not longer college sports, but it also isn't pro sports, because kids are still going to class (right?) and everyone isn't getting paid. College sports has morphed into a ugly hybrid.
And, stop blaming the NCAA. The NCAA was formed to make a standard wet of rules for college sports, not this hybrid. It is an enforcement organization, not a rule maker.
The college presidents are going to have to get together and determine what they want college sports to look like and then rebuild from there. The NCAA might be part of the rebuild, or it could be completely overhauled into something different.

Yeah, I don't recall Fran losing a verbal commit since he arrived at Iowa in 2010; so, I think we are good to go with Owen Freeman
Well I thought only Football mattered anyway as a revenue stream? And you're being totally ridiculous here. And Iowa has just as much opportunity to compete on NIL against Kansas. Stop w/the Armeggedon picture here. It's a matter of whether we choose to or not.
You seriously think Iowa can generate enough money to compete with Kansas in basketball after Iowa donors dump most of their money on the football?
