I have no idea of his credentials, but I do know of brother situations where the better one may give up some of their own so the other brother can be a scholarship athlete. This was a long time ago.
It's not like football. With so few scholarships (9.9), no one gets all that much scholly money anymore.
Another reason donating to NIL/The Swarm helps ensure we keep pace with P$U
Yeah, I know the scholarship limits, just wondering how much we would give a guy that's going to likely be a backup.
Today's back-up could be tomorrow's starter. Look what happened after the gambling fiasco. It's always next man up. I say: welcome Joey Kennedy!
Having all these younger brothers commit I believe shows a STRONG sign of the quality and chemistry of the program! For everyone claiming all the negative BS, I am pretty certain that having MULTIPLE sets of brothers committing puts that crap to rest!!!
Unless you are at Pedo U
IMO, this will ruin college wrestling. The NIL rules must be changed and enforced by someone other than the school's compliance office.
I know many schools are offering recruits a percentage of a scholarship and then picking up the rest of the u-bill through NIL. So, basically, there is no limit on the number of scholarships these schools have.
What happens to the mid-majors? Take UNI, Lock Haven, Wyoming. They can't possibly afford funding an unlimited number of student athletes. Good for Iowa picking up 157 and 165, but think about NDSU. You identify these athletes, develop them, they become AA's and leaders of your program. Then, BOOM! They leave.
They get nothing or next to it. Effectively, they are walk ons.
Just a point of order, to be clear, the Iowa Wrestling NIL is the HWC not the Swarm.
I take this as a good sign that PK will be sticking around after this year. With the logjam that is 165-174 he could easily portal out and be the man at most Big 10 schools let alone anywhere else. Patrick is on fire and have full confidence that he reaches the podium this year at 174 come March.
Wrong. All sports at Iowa are now part of Swarm. You can choose where your money goes to.
Definitely not PK’s credentials (read up on him last night), but who knows what he will become under the right leadership. The more the merrier as long as they bring it.
Well...sort of...we are both right and wrong. And I appreciate you chiming in.
You can only choose the sport on one time gifts of $1,000 or more, or committing to $100 or more per month to the Swarm.
Nope. You specifically said that Swarm was not part of NIL for wrestling and that’s not true.
When did Swarm get involved with wrestling?
I thought wrestling was doing its own thing.
I can’t remember the date of when it was announced, but if you look at the top of the Swarm website it shows they support all Iowa sports.
Yes, and I appreciate the correction as I was wrong to make such a blanket statement. But you were wrong to say you can choose where your money goes to with the Swarm as it must meet certain thresholds. The basic Swarm membership level does not support wrestling. If you aren't able or willing to send a check for $1,000 or commit to $100/month, send what you can to the HWC if you want to support the wrestling NIL.
Nope again. Can you donate to wrestling through Swarm? True or false? The answer is true and I said as such. You said you can’t and thresholds were never part of your original comment. But you can move the goal post, that’s fine.
Remember this when you are constantly nitpicking peoples posts. All I did here was take a page out of your book.
Who's right argument aside, the threshold info in regards to Swarm seems important.
I would assume that a lot of donors aren't going to hit that level of $$$. Would be a shame if someone donated through Swarm thinking that it was going to wrestling when it wasn't.
Please correct me if I'm getting this wrong, but if you want your $$$ to go directly to wrestling:
Smaller donations - use HWC
Larger donations- use either Swarm(Check for threshold)or HWC
Of course, there's always WFL when one is looking to help out the greater wrestling world.

Welcome JOE, love the brother chain and everyone loves the way PK fights so bring them aboard!
Not clearly seeing the math on this in cases where both guys are in the same household. Are you thinking student loan redistribution, so both have identical costs?
Good point. Especially considering Voinivich who isn't in the lineup. Pretty clear these guys understand you have to come and compete.
Meh, he’s being pedantic and petty for the sake of it. Fresh fish is outta his league vs Spooner
You know Im just playing, spooner is my buddy. They both seemed to be correct though, my money still goes directly to the HWC
Thank you for indirectly proving the point I was trying to get across. You just described Spooner in one line. How any of you get enjoyment out of his style blows my mind. To each their own.
He prays on the overly sensitive and those that take themselves too seriously. I find it hilarious.
Thank goodness you were trying to make a point about Spooner...otherwise...ouch!
FWIW...I suggest going direct to HWC with NIL contributions. SWARM is great and I give there too, but wrestling dollars are most effective when given to HWC in my humble opinion.
It's only partly true, which means it is false. I'm a Swarm member and I CANNOT choose who my money goes to, and the same is true for a good % of Swarm members. Like I said, I was wrong to insinuate there's only one way to support Iowa wrestling via NIL. And I've now said it 3 times. 🤣 I also appreciated your correction and stated as much. That was before I realized you were being a dick about it.
What I don't appreciate is your crappy imitation of me. There have been some good ones on here over the years that I have enjoyed. But yours is just...bad.
Agreed that it isn't paying off. I mean, all it has done is produced the only 3 all-Americans in our lineup. Total eye roll, for sure. Just terrible.
There is only one set of brothers that is a problem. LOL.
Agree.
Ideally, someone gets down to 157 for one year, but that's going to have to work itself out.
