WVU Fans Claim DeVries has Unclean Hands

[Fran-Con-2]

Many speculating DD and Indiana had agreed to things months ago, and that Tucker intentionally shut things down so he could play at Indiana.




















And then a WVU player posted this:



Angry musings from a jilted fanbase? Probably.

But the fact that any of this is plausible only proves that the system is completely broken

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

West Virginia fans are very salty right now.

Can't say I blame them........but it's still entertaining to watch nonetheless.

 

[Max_Rebo]

I'm not sure about all of this, but one thing that hasn't been discussed much is that DD pretty clearly wanted the hell out of Morgantown.

Perhaps whatever it is he didn't like will scare away other coaching candidates as well.

That…or the dude’s #1 priority was money. For himself and to buy players.

Which is perfectly fine. And if that’s the case Indiana is clearly a better place for him than Iowa or WVU

 

[Fran-Con-2]

They’re really not happy with Tucker

 

[ObeseMuffins]

Now this is good.

 

[ObeseMuffins]

Did we dodge a bullet?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Not sure what to think, but it's certainly entertaining.

Fans going scorched earth.

 

[GeorgePeeples]

Imagine if Iowa had a player in a major sport who collected $1 million in NIL payments and who was a coach’s son.

And then only played about 25% of season.

 

[TritonHawkeye]

Breakup's are ugly...

 

[TailgateTom]

It was rumored “Beth quickly pivoted away from DD” after it was revealed she was doing a “thorough background check”.

Hmmmmmm……..

 

[ozzie8]

That Phelps tweet 😭

Hmmmmmm……..

We need the entire story, ASAP.

 

[General Tso]

I mean, duh. Of course there are behind the scenes shenanigans that lead up to coaching departures

 

[TailgateTom]

We need the entire story, ASAP.

I’m sure coincidental but god damn do I love a good conspiracy theory!

I know this just sounds like sour grapes, but there is something grimy about demanding more NIL money when a huge chunk of the money is going straight to your son.

Iowa fans have seen enough of that kind of nepotism to last a lifetime

 

[combes]

Indiana fired a coach who went 19-13 and missed the tourney and hired a coach who went 19-13 and missed the tourney.

 

[HawkLogic]

Was Tucker's shoulder injury worse than Freeman's pinky? Both guys got NIL to play and shut it down.

It is nice to see WVU whine, until you have to wonder if they will hire McCollom. I have to agree with Combes, Indiana looks like they are throwing away money in desperation.

 

[Bleecher Creatur]

Breakup's are ugly...

Human behavior is ugly

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Another few bricks fall in the wall that is me caring about college athletics.

 

[Rifler]

Something to be said for stability...

Probably get about 50% the criticism Connor got.

 

[BonzoFury]

Lots of IU fans are already less than thrilled. This stuff is going to make it even more interesting. Pretty specific accusations.

 

[Heathen Raider]

I wish Conner only played 25% of the Season He got minutes over KM

It was rumored “Beth quickly pivoted away from DD” after it was revealed she was doing a “thorough background check”.

Hmmmmmm……..

Smart.

 

[TailgateTom]

Smart.

If that’s all true, and it’s true BM was Beth’s first choice all along, I’m sure a little dirt was all she needed to turn away from DD.

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

It was rumored “Beth quickly pivoted away from DD” after it was revealed she was doing a “thorough background check”.

Hmmmmmm……..

What does this even mean?

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

If that’s all true, and it’s true BM was Beth’s first choice all along, I’m sure a little dirt was all she needed to turn away from DD.

And it would make sense that DD (his agent) put a rosy spin on it saying he was no longer interested knowing Beth wasn't going to say anything publicly. We wouldn't have beaten out IU for him regardless, but if this is the situation then it didn't end up being us v. them for his services.

Beth no dummy!

Source?

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Source?

Wait, we need sources for this stuff now? Lol.

 

[the24fan]

exactly! Gimme a Fvckin break

 

[TailgateTom]

Are people confused by the word “rumor”? And that I admitted to liking conspiracy theories?

Iowa dodged a bullet there. 😥

You've got to think that any information coming out about what went down between Iowa and DeVries is coming from the DeVries camp. I mean, Darian's got to justify his decision. Doesn't hurt to throw Iowa under the bus a bit.

Beth isn't going to say anything to anyone.

I'm not going to argue that our NIL situation is rosy, but it's possible that it's not as bad as some of the doomsayers have been saying over the past 18 hours.

 

[Underscore2]

I've decided to completely ignore WV fans. I watched quite a few podcasts prior to DD to Indiana. Not a good impression of their fanbase in general.

They forget that B1G light years ahead of B12 in terms of revenue share. A better base to start buidling things, and yea Iowa needs to add on more to NIL but that can be done.

WV fans seems to clutch at straws now with a false sense of superiority - kinda irritating.

 

[Randall Stanhope]

Did we dodge a bullet?

Well if this is all true, there was never any chance DeVries would be Iowa's coach... It would mean he's had a verbal deal locked in with Indiana for months.

This whole story is plausible, and disgusting if true.

A person of low integrity would say why not make 1 million this year while not playing, get an extra year of eligibility, and make even more money next year!

NIL is still a concern. If Beth was doing some recon and got a whiff of this, well done. If only Barta had looked that closely at Lick.

Not a Barta fan but in his defense, Lick was the just named National Coach of the Year when Iowa signed him,.. I'd say that everyone except Brad Stevens thought it was a hell of hire.

Revenue sharing takes a little weight off of NIL needs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Big Ten and SEC schools will have the highest revenue sharing, making Iowa one of the top 34 schools in that regard.
