Why McCaffery brothers left Iowa
- Thread starter RIGHTWINGHAWK

I assume you were not a fan that trashed Fran for recruiting them and knew they would end up pro picks.
He said the money was coming from Iowa boosters. It wasn’t. That’s the part that I said was bullshit. He or you haven’t supplied any evidence whatsoever. So again, Stop making shit up !
There are a lot of ways to get money to people. Is Iowa doing the bag man cash approach? Nope, do they figure out ways to get money to players through supporters of the program? Certainly and it goes way back and has never gone away. How is another story all together. Iowa was booted out of the B1G a long long time ago for booster payments. It's not a new thing and it's not unique. Should I go ask the football players that I 'worked with' in the summer? Saw them on day 1 and then maybe I would see them picking up their paycheck. As far as the work part unless they were working remotely in times before that was a thing then somehow, someway they earned a check.
Call it an agent, call it a booster, things got done. Keep fighting you might find something you have correct but it certainly isn't 'boosters don't make sure players have money'
When the facts don’t support you’re premise…. Go with ‘you are just making sh*t up again’
No speculation here, I ‘worked’ with players for several years.
That guy has only himself to blame. RIP
You haven’t provided any evidence/facts whatsoever . Enjoy gossiping much ?
You are the guy making shit up. Guess we know where you’re getting it !your head is buried somewhere.... up your hiney or in the sand?
Hmmm, ‘worked’ with players. Saw players for about 30 minutes for the entire summer. Players got paid every week.
Odd that all the non football players had to show up for work every day to get paid. Call it a double standard, gossip, etc. it is what it is.
Forgive me but there was a paywall when I went to the link. Not going to pay for just one post.
Reading through this thread no one has really said what the article said the reason was.
Would someone please post the reason why?
Thanks

Yes,, I am and said so a couple of years ago. Mama bear was tired of the "abuse" she believed Cmac and Pmac received from Iowa fans, which she stated publicly several times. Jack was NEVER coming to play at Iowa.
I just find it odd that Fran & Margaret sold their former home and purchased a new home just 6 months ago. Seems like an odd decision if you're planning to move out of the area in a fairly short window of time.
I believe he sold a large house, maybe harder to sell, in N Liberty. Bought a smaller house in Manville Heights, maybe easier to sell, if he needs out quickly.
Can you link those public comments? I have seen speculation(rumors and gossip) but no public record. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
I'm not good at coming up with links. The one was posted on this site. It was on the podcast that Cmac and Pmac hosted and they had Mama bear on as a guest. She was very critical of comments made on various platforms (from Iowa fans supposedly) about their playing time and poor play. A lot of the same stuff that was said on this site. Frankly I could sympathize with her to a point, but that just comes with the territory when Dads the head coach of a D1 program. They should have ALL stayed off of social media, but just didn't happen and Mama's got a bigger red ass then Fran from all accounts. It was obvious sometime ago that Jack would not be following in his brothers footsteps...
Starts talking about this at the 44:44 mark. She said the negative fans are in the minority. She said that she takes all negative comments about any of the player’s personally, especially her sons. She also said that she doesn’t want her sons getting into coaching.
Conner gave momma the middle finger on that one. lol
Conner = Daddy's boy
Patrick = Momma's boy?
She also says something to the effect that Iowa fans don't know how basketball works.
Apparently she feels we should all stay in our lane and keep our ignorant opinions to ourselves.
Miserable Marge!She also says something to the effect that Iowa fans don't know how basketball works.

When you are a multi millionaire and one of the richest in the area: buying and selling doesn’t matter
Who said they were planning on leaving the area besides disgruntled fans.
Are there any other kind?
No, the house he bought is enormous and they put several hundred thousand $$ to remodel it. It was Nate Keading's old house above Mayflower on the bluff. I think it was about $1.2m .
Raveling had a couple good years getting guys to IOWA.
Wonder why this talent didn’t translate to his years at USC with all the players in his back yard in LA?
