Stroud drives off in $200k Mercedes as part of NIL deal

[the24fan]

not with our offense, we will be lucky to be 6 and 6

Defense will win them 7 games....now lets just hope the offense cans win 2 or 3.....

Many Iowa players would rather have a tractor than a sports car

Same price tag...driver preference.

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

As postulated before... do you really want the kind of kid who wants to drive around in a $200K car? Look at me...me...me...

Because a lifted F250 doesnt scream look at me look at me

So in spite of the stories from players/coaches and teams getting caught doing it there really wasn’t those types of things going on at a fairly widespread basis? I just want to understand what you are expecting us to believe.

Exactly - I will add if the school didn't know about this than that is lack of institutional control and penalties should be levied.

Combines are 1million...just saying.

Of course 8 million (before you even sniff a college field) would be padding the bank a bit..

He's renting the $200,000 Mercedes for a few months ~ doesn't own it.

Same price to rent a tractor? Probably higher insurance rate, though.

Not to own, but drive for a few months then trade it in for another luxury car. We’re far from competing at this level of recruiting and NIL boys.

Instead of pissing and moaning, maybe do something? Not sure what complaining on a message board will get you.

I have no dog in this fight but will give credit (well, somewhat) that at least teams like Alabama, OSU, Clemson and Georgia are not giving / pushing this crazy NIL money to HS recruits who have not proved themselves on the CF field yet like Texas A&M and Tennessee (their money is crazy).

Schools like Alabama and OSU are telling recruits that the NIL money will be there (like Stroud) once they establish themselves on the field. Texas A&M and Tennessee are wanna bes that will do whatever it takes to get to the top. I think this was Saban's biggest beef. I wonder what's going to happen to the Texas A&M money to recruits when they wash out - many do the first couple of years

Quinn Evers signed a $1.4M deal before enrolling at OSU.

My point is that if this was going on a widespread basis, why wasn't there more Fullmer (Tenn) / Alabama incidents over the years ? Outside of that Tattoo Gate incident at OSU - which they were hammered for - can you name another FACT based incident at Alabama or OSU. And Tressel was fired for lying about the Tattoo incident - the tattoos themselves were minor. It resulted in only OSU's 2nd losing season since the mid 1960s.

There were uncontrollable boosters at all schools - including Iowa. Many people instantly pointed to money / boosters for a team's success. Maybe being #2 (OSU) and #3 (Alabama) on the all-time wins list has something to do with their success over time. I lived in Ohio a few years back and, believe me, every Ohio kid dreams of an OSU offer. And Ohio HS football is still #5 for putting kids in the NFL. OSU doesn't have to wave a big wad of cash in front of a kid like some of the wanna bes have to.

If you think it was that way than keep up that idealistic view. Not very based in reality but keep it up

Yeah well Ohio State can kiss my furry monkey a**.

Also, Iowa > your team

 

[RollingBallofButcherKnives]

Did not read any of the post on this one but my question is who pays for the insurance on that? Sure hope he doesn’t hit happy hour them the freeway-

You didn't read the post about me telling OSU to kiss my furry monkey a**?


And I worked so hard to come up with that one too.......

Is Fuchs disease named after any family members no matter hoe distant

What are you doing to help Iowa compete at this level in NIL?

Non Sequitir

I beg to differ. Fans complaining about NIL at Iowa can get involved and contribute to help the cause. Otherwise, they are part of the problem they are complaining about.

Quinn Evers signed a $1.4M deal before enrolling at OSU.

Yes he did but it was with a New Jersey marketing firm - GT Sports Marketing - that had no ties to any school including OSU or his current school - Texas. He could have signed with Iowa and the NIL money would still have been intact. You're trying to make it sound like OSU was tied in to the NIL money and that's TOTALLY FALSE

 

[mooresville hawk]

My statement was correct. You read into it what you will.

So he's being paid by a certain school collective but will be paid same regardless what school he chooses? Bullshit lmfao

If this is true, he's done playing high school ball.
