from The Athletic:
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz and wide receivers coach Jon Budmayr will receive a one-game suspension for committing a recruiting violation when courting quarterback Cade McNamara before the transfer portal opened in 2022, a source briefed on the violation said.
The suspension is related to an NCAA investigation, but it wasn’t immediately clear whether the sanction is being imposed by Iowa or the NCAA.
McNamara played his first three seasons at Michigan from 2020 to 2022, leading the Wolverines to the 2021 Big Ten championship but playing in only three games in 2022 after suffering a season-ending knee injury. He entered the transfer portal on Nov. 28 that year — the day it opened — and by Nov. 29 there was mutual interest between McNamara and the Hawkeyes, a team source told The Athletic. On Dec. 1, McNamara committed to Iowa.
Then, Budmayr was a special assistant to the head coach and as a former Wisconsin assistant previously recruited McNamara. Their past relationship contributed to McNamara joining the program.
