Title IX isn’t truly going to limit anything though. It’s just a money and budgeting issue.
Yep, due to Iowa building thise players for 2yrs, the big boys will come knocking with $$$ and leave Iowa with 2more years to go all day.
Title IX is absolutely going to limit. If you add 20 scholarships for football you have to add 20 for women. Where the heck are they going to add 20 women’s scholarships? And then how do you fund 40 more athletic scholarships plus pay $20M+ in athlete compensation. Most schools are going to stay put at 85.
No school that is serious about football is going to hard cap themselves at 85 scholarships.
Not really…at least not in this case. I’m guessing this is one of the same captains that refused to shake our hand pregame?
I’m just going to have to disagree. Everything I’m hearing right now, both from the Iowa camp as well as from B1G and SEC schools, is that they’re staying put at 85. Could that change in a few years once the overall impact from the House settlement is known and the process gets worked out? Sure. But for the immediate future, 85 is where schools are going to stay.
In their defense, they thought they were signing up for another year with a playoff caliber team. 😀
Keep in mind, "averages" can be skewed by big numbers for the top 2 or 3 guys. For example, let's say that the QB, LT, and rush end are each making $500,000 and the rest of the 19 starters are each making $75k. The "average" would be about $135,000. A better indication would be what is the MEDIAN that starters are making. But even if that number was right, if you split the baby between $100k and $300k, that would be an average of $200k. For 22 starters, that's $4.4M. That doesn't seem like a huge number to me.
Possibly, and this was something that went through my head. I am also wondering who is actually getting paid, A&M had nearly an entire class transfer out due to lack of payment with multiple reports on social media. This isn't accounting for that 5* guy you have sitting on your bench, i.e. Williams Nwaneri from Missouri. That number increases quickly when you want to keep depth pieces around that might not be starters but are integral to the team.
Actually it has completely ruined college basketball IMO. I like it for football because Iowa is in a P4 standing and has the potential at least to attract major talent.
That’s fine, I get where you’re coming from. In relation to this thread, I just don’t see Iowa being afraid of being a few scholarships over 85. As long as Ferentz can justify it, I think the athletic department will work it out.
Interesting. Can’t remember where I read it, but I believe he is (or was) dating one the Iowa WBB players.
Bull. Iowa will never flip 50-60 kids in one year. I don't care what Neon did at Colorado, coming in to a program and Basically telling all the returning players they should plan on the door hitting them in the ass. is not something I want from my HC, nor letting players do whatever while they're there. Sounds like he lets his Heisman candidate do whatever he wants on, or off the field.....
LOL you have no idea how schools do business. And you can't read. Maybe stop smoking weed. I said SIGN 27-30, not over-sign by 27-30.
if it happens the way you say it does then Nebraska should stick with that strategy as it clearly has worked wonders for the program
Just about every team in the SEC recruits over their current players, and over-signs (past 85) in the winter, with the plan to get the roster fixed before next fall by encouraging players to go elsewhere. I assumed that every college team does this.
I mean it's happened all of nonce so far, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
