He's 23. 6th year college QB due to injuries and took a covid year.

It will be a matter of time before a player will sue (and win) to transfer in the middle of a season and be immediately eligible.

Don't forget about recruiting the players that haven't left yet. A coach has to basically re-recruit their own roster every year.

Iowa fans need to let that shit go.

It really depends on what you consider their collective. There's 2 arms to the Iowa Swarm. The collective side (personal donations) and the Inc side (corporate deals with athletes). He didn't get a dime from the collective side. I imagine he had a deal or 2 lined up with some private businesses...

Many programs are moving toward the open spring practice/scrimmage hybrid instead of having a game. Illinois, Wisconsin, & Iowa all being examples of this.

I would guess he'll have a practice that's open to the public. Just probably doing away with the "game" part of it.

You just described about 75% of the players that get drafted into the NBA every year.

This may have already been posted already but cool site to work with different scenarios over the next week for seeds in the BTT. Will figure the tiebreakers for you. https://bball.notnothing.net/bracket.php?conf=big10m

I thought the middle 1/3 of the movie was fantastic. The portion which the Manhattan Project was being put together and the work done. The first and last 30-40 minutes of the film were just kinda ok. I thought they missed out on a golden opportunity to have a memorable "Day After" type scene...

Good movie. They definitely took a few liberties with the real story but the overall theme of family curse/tragedy was right on.

McNamara will be lucky to make it through preseason practice without getting hurt. That is if he even gets healthy prior to the start of preseason practice. Iowa is going to have to develop a young QB rather quickly or get lucky in the portal.

Smith-Marsette made the right choice. He was 4-0 as a player against Minnesota. And 2 of those games weren't particularly close.

Iowa had 2 LBs and 3 DBs decide to come back for their extra year which has them currently 4/5 over the scholarship limit so I wouldn't expect many incoming transfers there. They will need guys to transfer out to get under the limit by summer.

Wisconsin and Iowa and especially Nebraska as well also have very large and supportive fan bases made up of people who never went to or have an affiliation with the university. That is a huge factor in a program's potential and it appears that is a big factor in these tier rankings.
