This sums it up for about 3 decades.
When looking at the overall NIL landscape, this is us...Crack all the jokes you want. Iowa is going to struggle big time without more NIL funds.
Who are the richest alumni ? Me giving 5 grand isnt gonna do it .Crack all the jokes you want. Iowa is going to struggle big time without more NIL funds.

wonder if having a head coach for 14 seasons of a program with no energy in the fan base has anything to do with it.Crack all the jokes you want. Iowa is going to struggle big time without more NIL funds.
We were dog shit before NIL…nothing new, just more excuses.Crack all the jokes you want. Iowa is going to struggle big time without more NIL funds.
Open your checkbook man !We were dog shit before NIL…nothing new, just more excuses.
Hopefully I'm wrong and am a big idiot, but I'm betting he will be much more of an Indiana Fever fan more than an Iowa Hawkeyes follower, going forward.Women could hit up Jason Sudeikis!
I saw a post somewhere that mentioned Iowa and UConn played against one another in the sweet 16 in 1999. Since that time, UConn has won 6 championships and Iowa hasn’t seen the seeet 16 again.
Who is this Jason Sudeikis dude?Women could hit up Jason Sudeikis!
I'm pretty sure that the one actual rule is that colleges can't pay athletes beyond educational experiences. The NIL collectives have no restrictions.There really are no rules for paying players anymore. Use some of that TV money that Iowa will get when the Big 10 expands. I'll never give my money to pay college kids to play ball. To many things I'd rather do with my money.
Donated to Swarm monthly since inception, but we need some big money to step up. Don’t we have like a billion dollars of salaries in the NFL?!!? Why aren’t these guys providing some NIL??Open your checkbook man !

I'd never heard of him until the camera panned on him in the NC game.
They're spending it at the strip ioints in VegasDonated to Swarm monthly since inception, but we need some big money to step up. Don’t we have like a billion dollars of salaries in the NFL?!!? Why aren’t these guys providing some NIL??
Yeah, and there's this Iowa fan named Ashton Kutcher that's supposedly worth $250M. And I would think Tom Arnold has some money as well. Not sure if those guys contribute anything or not.Donated to Swarm monthly since inception, but we need some big money to step up. Don’t we have like a billion dollars of salaries in the NFL?!!?

Passing around the collection plate and asking message board geeks like us to carry the NIL probably is not realistic. Checking my couch cushions.. Nope, didn't find hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just a few potato chip crumbs.
Probably stays up until 10:00, too.Moneybags over here subtlety bragging that he can afford chips.

Well, I don't give to NIL and have no plans to - not because I can't afford it or have other causes I believe in, I just don't like NIL. I don't give to the NRA either (not trying to compare the two, just pointing out that NOT giving to something is a personal choice, just as giving is).This board is full of people that loudly say they'd never give to NIL or they have better causes. Hopefully they're really giving to other causes instead of not giving anything.
I hope the big donors come through with the over $1000 donations and designate them all to the non revenue sports. What portion of name/image/likeness is a donation to a conglomerate utilizing? The whole thing is a joke and so are the people who try to talk down to fans who have other uses for their money. Donate if you want but don't tell people they're the big bad for watching on a streaming service. Also don't attend games, all of that money is "donated" to everyone but the athletes.The NIL money isn't that much...it is very doable for Iowa fans to move the needle on NIL. The figure I saw for I-club annual donations is around $15 million/yr......that money is being donated to the athletic department would be program changing if it went to NIL instead of being given to a bloated iowa Athletic Department.
.The existing donation money just needs to be redirected and you need leadership at the very top...School president, AD, Big boosters, the head coaches. We just lack leadership and/Or the mega money that on their own can make a differece.....like Tyson family money at Arkansas.

If you are paying for Live sports like Youtube TV, you are already donating to the existing NCAA bureaucracy, fat cat coaches, and the employees that oversee sports in NCAA, Big10, etc. The Iowa AD is at $150 million/year business and lot of money being made by non-athletes. I don't think Tony Perkins pulling in $250K is that outrageous compared to Fran's $3.2 million.

Its more like a $200 million business (already at $167 million in 23 FY, and in 2025 and beyond, the B1G revenue is set to explode by $40 million per year to a total in the low $100+). I agree completely what we are seeing is the leadership component at Iowa is not serious about competing at the highest level as a whole. I think this is an epidemic in the B1G that stems from the league being run by academics since its earliest days and state legislatures who wanted athletics expenditures off of the books and then when revenue took off with TV, finally wanted some of it directly to the university at large.The NIL money isn't that much...it is very doable for Iowa fans to move the needle on NIL.

The powers that be at Iowa just don't care about athletics or winning. I am 100% convinced of that.Its more like a $200 million business (already at $167 million in 23 FY, and in 2025 and beyond, the B1G revenue is set to explode by $40 million per year to a total in the low $100+).

If you look at UConn, that university doesn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. Endowment shy of $600 million and athletics generates revenues slightly less than $50 million, expenses totalling almost $100 million, the shortfall charged to the university general fund, but that university has 6 nattys in MBB and 11 in WBB, nearly all in the 21st century.
How the heck are they the superior program in those sports? Boils down to the attitudes and leadership. They invested while our admins collected and live high on the hog. Its a political thing at its core. We settle for Fran, they fire Kevin Ollie 2 years removed from winning a natty because he doesn't meet their standards. Now with NIL, guarantee you they've found new ways to funnel cash to recruits while the university sits on its hands and makes it the alumni's problem, and they even have the audacity to charge the collective to advertise and refuse to give donor lists to the collective. Its absurdity,
This. Quit using NIL as an excuse.We were dog shit before NIL…nothing new, just more excuses.
Then why so grumpy? 😏I make a good living and have been blessed
