We are pooling our dollars that are then split up amongst several teams. I think most of these other programs are just finding rich alumni to pay the kids whatever it takes for them to commit. For instance, It’s like the billionaire that’s associated with Miami.
And that's falling apart quickly and simply isn't sustainable. I think our model sets us up much better for the future, in the absence of a billionaire that doesn't care about wasting millions of dollars on college kids
Like the donor for Miami that pulled out from the13 million for the 4 star qb. But that was after a 5 star committed for the next year. Shady as heck. Iowa breaks up into football, men and women's basketball with a base for all players. They originally were paying all players the same but since November that policy has changed.
Does Iowa have billionaire alums to tap?
Bigger donors can also designate a sport. There are also 2 different aspects of the Swarm.
Nebraska Cornhusker alum Warren Buffet probably moves Debbie a little higher on the list than you are giving them credit for.
Should the U of I even be involved in N.I.L. payments? Murky legal and tax issues.
Do you think it would make a difference if Iowa didn't even have a NIL fund? I don't think it'd make that much difference with the lack of success we've had with transfers.
Would it matter if everyone else is paying their players and Iowa doesn't?
On paper it looks good but with the way the team is coached I don't think it'll make a difference.
AAAAAAAAANNNDDDD Mack just picked up a crystal ball to South Carolina. Another swing and a miss.
What a bunch of whiny little crybabies on this board.
No they shouldn't but there has,to be ago between to let the nil figure be warranted and wanted by the coach. Pretty gray area and not really the iowa way.
it wouldn't be the first or last time he played someone out of position.
However, I’ve heard/read that Warren Buffet isn’t a big sports fan, so apparently not a big donor for the fuskers?
I think this is good news. I kind of expected an announcement today or tomorrow that he was staying home in SC. Mack and his family are evaluating their options very carefully. If he wants to be highlighted and given plenty of media attention, Iowa might be his best option.
If what he said is true, no. I think we have a shot.
I've watched numerous games this past season of St. Benedict's prep. He will be a freshman Reggie Evans, if you're old enough to remember him back in the early 2000's, he was a dominating rebounding machine.
Where did you find the games? I've found a few youtube highlight videos but that's it. From what I've seen, he has a nice frame (good lower body already) and a nice shooting touch. He looks comfortable and confident shooting 3s. He doesn't look nearly as explosive as Cook.
Yeah it's interesting he's probably the least talked about kid in the class from the Iowa beat writers, but he's probably the guy who I'm most excited about and may be day 1 ready. I get why the 3 local guys get discussed more, but man is he maybe the least talked about 4-star (according to 1 recruiting service) commit ever.
Or if everyone gave $200 to help feed, house, clothe or educate someone and watch pro sports?
Before his final visit to his home state U of South Carolina had hardly started, a homer from SC gave a premature 100% prediction on 247 that he would choose them. That is still very possible, but the Mack family apparently wasn't sure of a decision when the SC visit ended yesterday. Mack's recruiting has been incredibly quiet during his visits, so it is anyone's guess where he will choose. He would sure look good in a Hawk uni next year.
