Good luck with that. So who is going to represent "your Iowa Hawkeyes" when we sit with the networks to get OUR 80-100 million $ share of the TV revenue? Do you think the B1G office is going to negotiate your cut with you or the University of Iowa and the AD's department?
University of Iowa ending relationship with The Swarm?
- Thread starter chaneccooms
- Start date
The dislike for Barta fogs a lot of thinking. like he has anything to do with the NCAA being a toothless overseer. Cmon....
I don't think he's "overruling" them. I think their saying that this issue is not under their purview....
I don't agree....this guy was actually trying to do something vs everyone else just talking about it and complaining.....He's trying to raise NIL money for Iowa men's sports so that they can actually compete and keep the golden goose for all sports going. The University being Progressive, couldn't abide by NIL money mostly going to high profile men's sports athletes....so they wanted Swarm to follow Title9...which would have made the Swarm useless....Founder tried to go above Barta, no dice. Seems like no school of substance is following Title9 but UI progressives don't care. Works until teams suck and attendance drops and all sports at university face money cutbacks.
It's not political, you idiot. It's crooked toothed Barta trying to keep his funds coming in, instead of to NIL. Title IX is a scapegoat, and according to a majority of other schools working with their NIL collectives, it's a bad one.
Barta loves the NCAA (just like Gene Smith @ tosu). GB should get together with the other B1G & P5 ADs, and conspire to have all the schools withdraw from the NCAA. Set your own rules instead of following a bunch of idiots.
The story on Iowa settling the recent Title IX case brought against them:
The group of 6 Iowa female athletes — four swimmers, one rugby player and a university student who wrestled in high school — filed the Title IX lawsuit after the university announced it would cut women's swimming. The plaintiffs' complaint, filed in Iowa district court, said that the university was violating Title IX, which requires educational programs that receive federal funding to offer equal educational opportunities.
In October 2021, Iowa reached a settlement:
* Women's swimming will remain an Iowa Hawkeyes sport until at least 2028
* The university had to pay out nearly $400,000 to cover legal costs.
* Iowa agreed to add women's wrestling. The newly founded wrestling team will offer the maximum number of full scholarships (10) and field a 30-woman roster beginning in the 2023-24 season.
* Iowa hired Gabriel Feldman, a faculty member at Tulane University, to serve as a monitor of Iowa's Title IX compliance for 3 years.
* Iowa will also cap the number of varsity roster spots on the women's rowing team at 75. The lawsuit argued that Iowa was inflating those numbers as a way around Title IX requirements.
With the addition of women’s wrestling, Iowa will offer 22 sports, including 14 women’s teams and eight men’s teams.

University of Iowa must be held to 'high standard of equality,' says one of women who won $400K Title IX settlement
The University of Iowa has settled a Title IX lawsuit for nearly $400,000. Besides adding women's wrestling, it's hired a Title IX compliance monitor.

The irony is that:
1. The NCAA could win their "position;"
2. The women who sue could win their "position;"
3. Both (NCAA & Women's Programs) would suffer financially from their win by virtue of lost $$$ to the men.
Men's sports (football/basketball) is the Golden Goose that feeds these asshats.
Sounds like the UI athletic department and Swarm were cooperating and now Swarm is not getting that cooperation because Swarm doesn't want to bound by Title9 demands the University was asking Swarm to comply with....of course the NIL is not affiliated with Athletic department, I don't think the thread poster were suggesting it was. I highly doubt Alabama for example is asking NIL donors to donate equal amounts to women's rowers as the men's football players.
Athletic officials realize it's time to support NIL collectives or get left behind
Over the last three weeks, athletic officials have publicly supported NIL collectives. Those that don’t, risk their teams being left behind.
When the NCAA clarified its interim NIL policy in late October, it opened the door for schools, athletic department officials and coaches to officially endorse booster-run collectives.
And in three short weeks, schools across the country have wasted little time throwing their support behind the groups that have become college sports’ key driving force in recruiting, roster maintenance and Transfer Portal.
Officially a member school is not able to provide financial support to a NIL collective, have an athletic department staff member employed by the booster-run organization or provide an incentive to drive funds to a collective.
Well I agree that the BOR has bigger issues to deal with. But I'm pretty sure everything comes under the president. She must just not care, which is a tad disappointing.

“The latest NIL guidance from the NCAA essentially gave collectives the green light to go all in and sort of lifted the taboo surrounding them prior to the guidance,” Greene said.
Note..."essentially gave the collectives the green light ...and sort of lifted the taboo... ~ what a tool this guy is! The NCAA gave guidance to the Collectives! I call B.S.

What? They clarified in October:
Four Takeaways from the NCAA's Latest NIL Guidance | JD Supra
On October 26, 2022, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) issued new guidance (“the October guidance”) to its Division I member...
While they didn't exactly give guidance specifically TO the NIL collectives, they did give guidance to the schools on what they can do.
As far as I know the University is not connected to the collective at all. So the whole Title IX issue holds no merit for private money.
The powers that be are just handicapping ourselves in hope that The playing fields will be leveled and they never will.
Title IX holds no merit to private money. If it was pushed out by the university it would but it’s not.
The University of Iowa must spend equally when it comes to women's and men's sports.
As a result, Iowa needs to be independent from the payments that collectives are making; otherwise, female athletes will sue Iowa yet again.
Again, lawyers who know a lot more about NIL and Title IX are advising the University President and the Iowa AD. Iowa just settled a Title IX lawsuit. They don't want to go through another one.
Paragraph 4. Negotiating...What? They clarified in October:
Four Takeaways from the NCAA's Latest NIL Guidance | JD Supra
On October 26, 2022, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) issued new guidance (“the October guidance”) to its Division I member...www.jdsupra.com
While they didn't exactly give guidance specifically TO the NIL collectives, they did give guidance to the schools on what they can do.
"The October guidance stresses the distinction between an institution’s permissible role as a facilitator in NIL activities and its impermissible role as a substantive representative of a student athlete or NIL entity. While institutions welcome any clarification the NCAA provides, its latest guidance still leaves myriad unanswered questions. Institutions and Collectives should consider engaging competent counsel to aid in tailoring the NCAA’s general guidance to the organizations’ unique scenarios."
That's all you need to read.
I totally agree that the university and the collective are not connected, however, it wouldn't take much for them to become connected...say, providing private info about university donors to the collective.
Hes totally in the right.
The university is trying to sabotage the ability of the programs to be competitive.
Theres nothing wrong with letting people know whats going on.
Professionalism is irrelevant. Its not a profession.
Even if they did share the donor information that doesn’t mean the money those donors push to the collective falls under Title IX. the university had no say how that money is spent.
Liberals at work again. Why is it everything a liberal touches turns to crap??
The university can be viewed as aiding SWARM to the detriment of Women. You don't have to believe the university is doing it ~ the Court needs to believe that the university is doing it!
Just like the NCAA didn't think they were wrong until the U.S. Supreme Court told them they were wrong.
You really think the ncaa is going to try and go after specific schools on this stuff?
Why?
The ncaa only exists to enrich itself, they haven't tried to legitimately enforce rules for 40 years at least.
NIL money in no way interferes with their financial interests.
The opposite. It allows them to continue their grift without scrutiny from the wokes.
Now they can continue to do nothing but justify it because the programs have a legal loophole to hide behind.
The ncaa knows they can, and should be fired because they bring nothing of value to the table.
The last thing they are going to do, (and haven't done for decades) is to go after the thing that puts money in their pockets.
Where else did he post it? The lounge is a non public board pay board so maybe he didn't want post it where people like you could read it.
Suing an NIL collective for violation of title 9 would go nowhere. Theres no legal standing for it. It doesn't exist.
This is Barta short sightedly not wanting to give up his client list.
Fundraising is the reason he still has a job.
Lack of an understanding of reality.
Gotta get those sports that are a negative to be equal, no matter what, right? SMH
Exactly, you can't hold someone accountable for sharing an email list.
And really, there is absolutely no way anyone could prove where the information came from anyway.
I see what you're saying, and it's just about the time they decide to throw the axe & it happens to be at Iowa. Left at the alter yet again.
It is what it is. UNC only held on to their star QB because the collective. they only managed to kept him there because they had access to information from that university.
It certainly is what it is ~ a giant sh!tshow getting ready to erupt.
