Do you really want to fire him with the jobs already open or likely to be open by seasons end. How many of those open jobs are worse than the gophers from a financial/NIL and in-state talent standpoint. Not many are worse which means the gophers aren’t likely to get a proven winner as a...

Massive talent disparity especially related to speed

The point is that a tv contract for a “super league” would still include the MSP media market with or without the gophers as part of that league.

There are more than enough alums in MSP from schools that would for sure be in a super league that this market would still be available with or without the gophers. That and the fact that people in every market like watching blue blood teams play.

IU is getting some big money booster donations now for NIL, Mark Cuban being one of those boosters.

they ran out of almost all food there a while ago, oops

I wouldn’t be shocked to see Fitzgerald end up in the next few years at either Iowa or Wisconsin

Yep for all the undeserved accolades John Anderson got from the locals, he never took a team to Omaha. Most schools would not allow a coach to last for almost 40 years without achieving that of a major conference program. And as underwhelming as he was the program is trending even lower now...

Cut men’s baseball. They haven’t been seriously competitive for a long time, and winning the occasional big ten and never making it to Omaha isn’t being competitive on a national scale.

The answer to your question is no. Cook is a good but wouldn’t say he’s an elite coach. Definitely not enough to overcome talent deficiencies

The AD at Creighton currently is also not well liked by many of his coaches. That factored in as well I would imagine.

I think she is just burned out and wants to watch her daughter play at Northern Iowa

Pre NIL and transfer portal era vs today is an apples to oranges comparison

Sounds like McCollum could end up at West Virginia as their AD was a former AD for McCollum at previous job and West Virginia has more NIL than Iowa

McCollum may end up at West Virginia. Their AD was a former AD for McCollum at a previous job and they have more NIL than Iowa

I saw an article last week quoting an unnamed ACC coach who said you need a minimum of 4.5 -6 million for a top 25 basketball roster. 4.5 million if your coaches are unbelievable talent evaluators who rarely miss on evaluations.

But if every other major program has revenue sharing as mandated of 20 million, then revenue sharing is a push. Unless the U gives a much higher percentage of their revenue share towards basketball versus football. They need additional NIL above and beyond that to seperate from other major...
