O’Bannon was based on video games using the players NIL without compensation. Generally the players were unnamed in the games but had same number/height/weight/skills.

He pulled an 'oliver martin' but actually got paid.
again, he didn't get that much according to the SWARM CEO
this fiasco is 100% on Proctor and his 100% lack of character
why do you falsely say he got $100,000?
and why do people blindly believe it?
the real problems are the false narratives that are spreading.
the truth?
well, here you go:
not one penny of what normal fans donate went to Proctor
it's shocking how most people don't know this
again, the donations from the "normal" fan do not go towards acquiring the Cade McNamaras, the Erick Alls, and the Kayden Proctors
do you know where it actually goes? you should know, but if you don't, I will tell you.
it has happened.

Questions...
A. Why did Dorkman say the $100K comment if he did not verify it first??? Irresponsible reporting.
B. And Brad why did you wait until 7:15am the next day to say he got no NIL and let many in the fan base and writers left to assume he did get money and make posts to that affect on social media??? What end did that serve Brad?

Had not seen that. So it's coming. Maybe another year for all.it has happened.

The lack of transparency is what is causing the drama...how the deals are constructed terms/conditions. Neither of us know what exactly went down. Did he get 'home sick' before or after the possible $$ offer?

We’d be a lot better off if the NW kids got their way and unionized. Then they’d be getting paid from these ridiculous TV contracts.
Nobody in power did anything, then the Suprene court had to step in, and now it’s the Wild West.
A. that's what I was asking yesterday
B. he'd have to answer that; he did tweet some things out last night but probably had a lot of things on his plate
And don't forget; he does this all FOR FREE, during his FREE TIME. He owns a business and has kids. He's the ONLY Hawkeye fan who stepped up to take NIL on.
No way in hell am I ever going to point fingers at that man. Without him, Iowa athletics would be in a world of hurt.
Just a reminder that NOT ONE PENNY of the "normal, middle class" donors' money goes towards acquiring the Cade McNamaras, Erick Alls and Kaydyn Proctors of the world. That money goes to the student athletes on campus who volunteer.
Anything that was paid to Proctor came from the SWARM INC arm, and according to Brad, Proctor did not get much.
Some reporting from this morning:
The optics are bad and will give pause to many thinking of contributing...regardless of what is being said.
This really is a no win situation.
This really is a no win situation.
Not much incentive to donate then, is there?
Also, the Swarm’s marketing has certainly made it seem as though donations from “normal” fans will help us land top talent.
The student athletes who volunteer get paid very well. And that comes from fans' donations.
And that helps Iowa in the recruiting process because prospects know they will be getting paid for at least volunteering.
So, I disagree with you; if fans want to help land top prospects, there is and should be incentive for fans to donate.
Not faulting him - but he had to know this was bad optics - dont understand the pause in putting that out there. Water under the bridge now...
From another site...about 3.5 hours ago...sounds like maybe he did get some $$$$..disregard if already posted elsewhere on here. Which makes me think Brad paused on saying anything..because of the Inc side got hosed???
FYI from Brad:
I thought I would try to help everybody understand how Swarm is being affected by the evolving KP situation:
1). As most of you know, we have the Collective side (which many of you generously give to), and the Inc side, which corporations contract with student athletes for.
2). KP has not received a penny from the Swarm Collective. This will hopefully help many of you rest easy that your donations have not been “stolen” or misused.
3). KP has received a small percentage of his Swarm Inc allotment, which was paid from a sponsoring business. It remains to be seen if there will be any clawbacks on that money, but I can assure you that there will be no further payments there.
4). Our contracts have language that terminate if a contractor (student athlete) doesn’t live within a small radius of Iowa City. So if/when KP leaves Iowa, the contracts automatically terminate. Regardless, he would have a tough time performing some of the services required of him if he lived in a different state.
5). We have had quite a few cancellations yesterday and already this morning. I hope that people will reconsider and understand that I take the stewardship of their donations very seriously, and I want nothing but the best for Iowa athletics and the Eastern Iowa community.
The last 24 hours has reassured me that the diligence we have done with regards to ensuring these contracts protect us/your money was time well-spent.

This may not work out well for Proctor will see. How can you put you trust in him as a coach or player? I dont know.
I hope Iowa plays Them before He goes to the draft and Phil calls some extreme line slants to His side
Hey Fran take Your boney 140 lb arse and get bent, You run Your mouth to the Gerbils not Me PUSS* , He was reported to have gotten 100K at time I posted , after which time Brad clarified so FO
A 20 year old college kid can be a piece of shit, too. You know how some kids will never buy a beer in Iowa? That dude should never show his face any place but Ames.
Hope that's true. Kids walking off w/ $ like that might slow down people giving to Swarm.
It already has. Brad said donors started dropping last night and this morning. Kadyn Grifter is the grifter that keeps on giving.
Prove it, show us your books. I wouldn’t take anyone’s word as truth in this racket.
Kirk asked fans to donate and “help us compete”.
The perception is if you donate it will bring kids in because they are getting paid.
It terrible optics and the donor list already wasn’t where Brad wanted it to be.
At some point he will walk away because this isn’t worth it. He gets no help from former players and had to butt heads with the University when Barta was here.
His statement is a typical rationalization of someone who did a piss poor job of being a good role model for his kid.It was his job as a parent to teach his kid to keep his word and not to quit when he doesn't get his way and look for the easy way out!
That's KP's step dad. His real dad's name is mentioned in the comments below. Not judging, but you can look up both of their respective social media accounts and see a different profile of who is probably in it for the limelight.
I've heard his step dad is a good dude.
