    Rocco's NIL value

    Under the new ownership, Deadspin has become practically unusable (and unreadable), but this archived piece is worth a read: https://deadspin.com/how-the-myth-of-the-ncaa-student-athlete-was-born-1524282374 This is the fault of the schools, and 70 years of bad karma is coming home to roost all...

    ESPN + Play by Play

    He was great. He also is working full time, has young (2-3 year old?) twins, is working on his MBA, and was driving ~3.5 hours one way from the LaCross area. From what he/CW said, there just weren’t enough hours in the day.

    Who's On Pollard's Short List?

    The list has been posted already: Matt Campbell. Pollard has been here 18 years, so there’s ample evidence that he errs on the side of caution when it comes to firing coaches (not named Wayne Morgan). I think we’d need at LEAST back-to-back trainwreck seasons - like, every game a 2022 TCU -...

    Iowa Cold Cases

    If there were any other gang initiation activities in the news over the last 20 years, I suppose you could consider the possibility, but that seems incredibly unlikely at best. My recollection, possibly from a discussion on CF, is that law enforcement, in spite of what has been said publicly...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Cy-Hawk, Omaha & offensive coordinators

    Standard G-League salary is about $40k. It’s become a question of where a player thinks they can best position themselves and how much they hate class.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    How about a middle-class man’s John Lickliter?

    In memoriam of Brian Ferentz as Iowa's OC

    I don’t really think she can afford to fire Kirk, so she’s doing the next best thing by making his life miserable in hopes of saving a few (tens of millions of) dollars.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    The final score doesn’t seem entirely like an accident.

    Car Issue

    This is how I discovered that some domestic auto makers actively hate their customers.

    Movie Talk Time: Beverly Hills Cop Axel F

    I can’t take credit for this, but on the Rewatchables podcast for the original Beverly Hills Cop, they called out how QUIET Eddie was in the movie. It’s a pretty restrained performance, and I wonder if that’s some of the magic.

    *Iowa is a one-party consent state, check local laws before doing any recording on the sly.

    Some real username synergy here.

    Williams & Blum Pod: Cy-Hawk, Omaha & offensive coordinators

    Bill Freaking Simmons, who made hay mocking the WNBA for quite some time, was tweeting about her during the tournament last year. She’s not getting LeBron level coverage or anything, but it’s disingenuous to suggest that she’s not on the national radar, especially given the coverage NCAA WBB...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Cy-Hawk, Omaha & offensive coordinators

    Rich man’s Josh Jackson.

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    “Total compensation” is right up there with salary MRV bands for best/worst HR fantasies. Healthcare cost/coverage really can make a difference, but I’m guessing there’s not a big variance within the industry. From the outside… the actions you’re describing sound a lot like like what I would...

    7 states file lawsuit against the NCAA over transfer restrictions

    In addition to antitrust protections for MLB and NFL, the pro leagues have collectively bargained the restrictions, so there’s not much there for a lawsuit.

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    Fair, although the ‘negotiations’ started weeks ago. I think it’s worth keeping in mind that this is, I believe, year 2 of the free transfer for football. The new rule coincided with a bunch of players getting an extra year of eligibility AND NIL money, so, to me, it makes sense that it might...

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    Per the always reliable Wikipedia, there are 133 FBS schools, which works out to about 11,300 scholarships and up to about 14k on rosters. A ~10% transfer rate doesn’t seem insane.

    KXNO Morning show

    Technically not until next year when the extension kicks in. He’s getting a mere $5.8 million this year.

    I don’t know if this is an original, but… well done. *Thisclose* to coffee out the nose and all over the laptop.
