INSIDER INFO

They’ll have an extra $2.5 million next year from the House settlement, so without any increase at all, they’ll be at $4 million.

$5 million isn’t a stretch at all.

Now, every other B1G SEC school will have the same increase.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. I've written several post about Rev Share on the WBB forum. Chad L wrote about the coming $2.5MM Rev Share amount for MBB in a recent article. Plus, Brad's Swarm would need to raise $2MM more just to get iMBB total NIL to $4.5MM.

However, what Ladell-hawk was saying is "Swarm raised 5-6 million total for all sports last year."
So raising donations last year in my mind is not talking about House Settlement $. House Settlement Rev Share is up and above the donations raised and that only starts after July 1st of this year. Rev Share did not exist last year as stated in his quote. He also stated total 5-6MM for all sports where your #s only include MBB.

How do you know what men’s basketball will get from revenue sharing, just asking ?

Dated 03/19/2025
"Thus, Iowa is expected to allocate $2.5 million in revenue-sharing toward men’s basketball."

"Goetz acts quickly in response to the DeVries fallout and works collectively with Brad Heinrichs, the Iowa SWARM Collective CEO, to put together a promised package of NIL funds. Iowa will need a minimum of $4.5 million and probably at least $5 million – meaning $2.5 million in revenue-sharing, at least $2 million via the SWARM – to be able to attract a men’s basketball coach that can win. The money doesn't have to be in place right this second, but the wheels need to be in motion to raise that money by July 1."

The Iowa athletics director has to respond quickly to the Darian DeVries fallout and deliver on an NIL package.

Kakert said it with confidence that Men’s basketball will get around 2.5 mil.

I think he was suggesting total between House and Swarm, but maybe not? That’s the only thing that makes sense, so if he is suggesting that is just Swarm money, then ya, I’m with you.

If not, then they found some money. That’s also plausible. Someone sick of Fran that was ready to give when he was gone?

I don’t have the accounting records for Iowa’s NIL, so literally anyone could be correct, and I couldn’t disagree with 100% certainty.

Either way, it doesn’t matter if we know. It’s not like we are forced to pay a tax to support Swarm.

Luckliter didn't. Stevens did

Who was the HC of record in 2003 and 2007? Just wondering

I’ve heard Beth on a few interviews and she’s indicated in the range of 15ish% for MBB. Certainly not final, but it’s what she’s thinking anyway…

Of course you know our competition will have revenue sharing as well. So increasing our nil will still be very important.

Hopefully we will get a statement today regarding BM, and put to rest any theories and conjecture.

Just don't be disappointed if we don't get news tomorrow. Drake is likely going to have some sort of welcome home party.

Iowa doesn’t have 5 million for basketball, Swarm raised 5-6 million total for all sports last year.

Think you might be referencing this article?

Dated 08/15/24 - Swarm Collective keeps Iowa competitive in NIL space as ‘price tags keep going up’

"It’s at the point now that the men’s basketball price tag is “north of $1 million, closer to $1.5 million,” and football is “around $4 million.”"

"Heinrichs estimated about 60 percent of Swarm’s revenue comes from “Joe Iowa fan giving $20 a month, that kind of thing.”

The other 40 percent comes from corporate support [beer, drinks, shirt sales, casino(s) donations etc]."

"Swarm is “just shy of 3,000 donating members,” Heinrichs said."

As ‘price tags keep going up,’ Swarm keeps Iowa competitive in NIL space

Iowa football’s impressive retention of players after the 2023 season “wasn’t going to be possible” without the Swarm Collective.

Guess that means ~$5.4MM between FB + MBB alone. Looks like Brad ventured off his 80/10/10 model considerably.

[MeetTheFerentzes]

A program like Iowa, with BMac as coach, could do some real damage getting NIL bargains from conferences just a level down from the P4 (ie MWC, etc). No reason to look at P4 players.

This cannot be overstated. I don't know if there's a better coach in the country that can find diamonds in the rough that would thrive in his system than BMac. This would be an absolute grand slam hire.

 

[coorsoriginal02]

There has been no announcement because Drake is still alive in the tournament.

Ben Mc. is Iowa bound, just not publicly.

You have this on good authority? Did he meet with WV today?

Sounds a little like our football coach

Got some info tonight from someone who knows past and current players. A very reliable source in my opinion.
McCollum is a done deal to Iowa.
Good chance Fran might be headed to Penn, taking Connor as an Asst. if he takes job. Obviously, young brother heads along too.
Mulvey already has a school picked out, too.

For those who questioned my source...
McCollum hired.
Fran to Penn
Mulvey to Siena.
Hat Trick!!

Now how about rumor Dix and Sandfort coming back

Now how about rumor Dix and Sandfort coming back

A friend texted me he saw on Facebook Dix ,Sandfort and center from Sioux Falls coming and small forward from Florida commited.

Cool. For those coming back, they'll learn a new skill.

If it's on Facebook it's got to be true right?

Hmmm. Not see this anywhere else

Looking like wishful thinking right now.
Haven't found anything to confirm

Sandfort and Koch good chance, Dix longshot

Hmmm. Why are you responding to yourself?

 

[HawksRule73]

I think Koch is coming back. Pryce is 50/50. Dix is gone.

Thanks for sharing OP. Did I ever tell you are my hero........you are the wind beneath my wings

That’s what I think too. Although if I win the lottery tomorrow I’ll make sure to offer Dix enough to stay….

Just saw in another thread Pryce is withdrawing from the portal and staying.

So you’re saying you’d pay a lot of $ for Dix?

 

[jasonrann]

good news, right?

I think so. Get a guard his size playing good D and he will be tough to handle. We already know he can shoot. We also have a PG from DePaul visiting.

 

[iowaathletes]

Is the rumor that Kansas offered Josh Dix $2 million true?

 

[TampaHawkfan]

So you’re saying you’d pay a lot of $ for Dix?

That legal? 😛

In some states, yes.
