Very cool!

Interesting that wrestling is not apart of the Swarm.

I heard they got their own thing going on.

So how many other B1G schools have included their women's basketball in the NIL?

I think most schools are including all athletes. Not that there is a lot of demand for NIL to the women's golf team but to actively exclude them makes no sense. Half of the collective is the non-charity side that will connect local businesses with athletes to do sponsorship type agreements. If a golf course, swim store, or simliar would like to use an Iowa athlete to promtoe their business why wouldn't Swarm want to be involved? Why specifically exclude those athletes?

Considering they may have the most marketable athlete on campus, and one who will be around for a while so the investment is a little more lasting, it makes perfect sense to me. And yes, I would be happy to argue why I think this athlete is the most marketable.
