Fair enough. I guess we will agree to disagree on the value of the Iowa State game.

I understand how it all works. I also understand this is all hypotheticals. What I'm saying is I wish they'd find a way to keep ISU and get a home-and-home with another P5 school.
ND should be shut out of anything new.
Yep. And it will fall apart. Most of country will stop watching. Nobody wants an alternative to NFL nor a minor league to NFL. It will be a massive fail if they do this.
honestly nothing worse than being excited for week 1 and there's maybe 5 total games that feature two power conference teams, if we're lucky we might get 1 or 2 top 25 matchups. The rest are just Power teams smoking G5/FCS teams.
Pretty boring.
That’s an interesting angle. If around 100 teams are dropped from “big boy football” those fans likely will lose interest to some degree.
That’s why I gave up tickets. I hate all of this. I hated it for decades before it came to fruition. I’m actually going to the Washington game…first game in 3 years. I just can’t, as a teacher, donate to kids who make more money than me, because they’re kind of good at a sport. This BS ruined my favorite thing for the first 50 years of my life.
You realize Iowa has beaten plenty of SEC teams right? I don’t fear SEC teams entering Kinnick. We’re at least as good as 2/3 of that league basically every year.
The series should have been over after the band assault incident
Here is a solution. Cap spending on coaches, facilities, and NIL. Take the revenues generated above the cap and let the actual schools be in charge of those funds for their academic mission. And schools that don't want to do that can leave and form their own whatever. Good luck competeting with the NFL. Oh....and strip them of their nonprofit status.
Problem solved.
Problem solved.
Eh, I disagree. I like it. The rivalry is fun. ISU has become more competitive lately under Campbell.
Also it would be such a little bro move to dump them once they beat us twice in 3 years.
Wouldn’t mind that but if they wanted to join it would be nuts to say no.
Would be nice to get revenge on the “feinting Irish”.
Trying to cap NIL loses in court.
You going to cap how much a kid makes working at McDonald’s? From a legal standpoint it’s the same thing.
NFL doesn’t limit how much players can make doing commercials. Same thing.
“That kid’s part time job screws up my TV watching pleasure” isn’t a winning case.
Read the article it came from/ you’re right, they won’t. They will give larger shares to the larger draws
There are salary caps in pro sports. If a kid has an agent and sets up their own ad revenue good for them.
Another take....the athletes need to sign a contract where the school gets a piece of any nil deal. School also gets a percentage of future contracts on term limited basis if they transfer. Iowa develops you and you transfer to Alabama? Yeah....Iowa gets paid. They do this already in pro soccer in Europe.
I’m honestly kind of over college football. If I didn’t live in Tallahassee, I doubt I’d go to many games. The only reason I’m going tonight is because I have friends in town.

I’m saying cap how much each individual team can spend. If they want to blow their entire budget on a hot shot QB, feel free.
Something has to be done to level the playing field, IMO. Otherwise it’s like Premier Leqgue soccer and you’ll only have 4-5 actual contenders each season with everyone else playing for scraps.
It’s going to be like this in college football too, the amount Iowa can directly pay the players is going to be capped at roughly $20m. And then schools like Ohio State have NIL budgets that are going to roughly double that. And any attempts to cap the NIL are going to lose in court.
The only way legally to do it is we have to get to the point where the money they get from the schools dwarfs what they get from NIL. Like I’m sure Cowboys players have more NIL opportunities than the Jacksonville Jaguars, but Trevor Lawrence is making so much directly from the Jags that the NIL stuff doesn’t matter that much.
So the boosters and private companies will spend over the cap rendering the school's contribution irrelevant.
There is no scenario where caps and equality work. None.
Schools gets part of private deals? Roflmao a first year law school dropout would win fighting that.
I still want to just one time…just once… see it posted on how exactly can this sort of idea be structured to pass the soon to follow 14,394 lawsuits in front of hundreds of different judges that any of which can basically shoot it down.
Sounds like petty jealousy. Not surprised coming from you.
The B1G and SEC will never partner with all those other schools in anything. No matter the structure. They can and will demand more on their own.
I take it you never have watched TV or movies either..there are kids in those, some of whom would not even be in 6th grade yet, that make more in a year than you will in a lifetime
It doesn’t benefit Iowa in any way. Stupid series. I was always for playing them 4 out of 10 years. Just not yearly.
With no legal training I could win that case,
With a beer in my hand, and right after telling the judge I just screwed his wife in his chambers.
Funny thing is that for most of them this is going to be the most money they ever make in their life.
In one of Jada’s podcasts she sort of accidentally said that. It is not like she doesn’t realize that when she becomes a teacher she is going to be able to just go buy new clothes and such all the time.
No they really will not lose in court. Kid cam make anything they want outside the colleges but if they are utilizing their role at the college to make that money it is a different story. You don't get to take your company brand and make money off it as an individual. If a kid has an actual advertising contract or has built a social media following then good for them. That isn't what is happening with NIL though. I would even say that related to the brand of the school those kids need to pay a part of their NIL funds. Have them sign contracts to pay at the schools
Yeah...no they wouldn't. Many if these kids are utilizing the schools brand as a part of their NIL deals. They don't own the brand of the school.
Go ahead and use your company brand or platform for a private deal. Let us know how much you lose in the lawsuit after you get fired. Might even face a criminal complaint depending on the circumstances. Best of luck.
I assume that in your world every single person is making the same amount in NIL, since it is the company brand that is making the money.
That is up to the state laws and school.
Some can, some cannot.
I am sure that the powers that be at the University of Iowa just cry themselves to sleep every night over their decision to let Caitlin rep Iowa in commercials and all the hundreds of millions of dollars of free publicity that it has generated for the school.
The Carolinas division and the Southeast division are totally out of whack with each other.
Interesting idea but there's no way the big boys split up that kind of money unless the compensation is based on different tiers.
