Is Aaron Graves coming back?
- Thread starter Towlie
- Start date
there are a plethora of threads on this subject on this and the Swarm forum, with numerous different opinions, as usual.
my two cents worth? I would not count on it. just not likely.
although we could all use an early Christmas present.

ravens cut their roster down to 53 on August 30th. one week before our opener.
definitely i hope he makes it with the ravens of course but in the event that he decides to return he’ll be in top physical condition
Just saw TE waived by the browns heading to LSU. Played at ole Miss guess kiffin had reached out to browns coach unsuccessfully. Im not a fan of players getting waived returning to college but feel like after we got hosed with Drew Ott and Noah Shannon ncaa owes us this one if he gets cut.
They targeted Shannon in a real sketchy way, depriving he and the program of a DT. I figure we are owed one.
Complicated. Under the most recent court ruling, he is ineligible.
It's not complicated, it's an abject mess. State and Federal laws in play against one another, States doing their own thing.
What it will come down to is if the SEC weighs in and says no go because of intraconference transfer rules.
every 2022 player will be eligible if they choose to go through a state court judge, that is what is happening. Graves and his attorney would just need to file with a local Iowa judge.
Per the Kakert podcast, they just need to file a Temporary Restraining Order at the state level and they are eligible. He also said Iowa has reached out to Graves camp. He’s unlikely to make the 53 man roster and practice squad members max out at $250k. This seems more likely than not to me at this point…
I honestly have no idea how impecunious the Iowa NIL fund is.
Can somebody enlighten me? Do we have the $$ to "outbid" the $250,000 practice squad salary?
I am sure we have a list of say a dozen donors that are the immediate calls and probably have stated if you need XYZ, call me.
Extra credit for using the word "impecunious" correctly in a sentence.
Thank you. I actually meant to say penurious, but it was a typo.
NO they can't "enlighten you" which is been my point from the start. posters here keep saying we can outpay what he'd make on the practice squad. 1) we don't know that. 2) IF he makes the practice squad he could get called up, or even move to another team and sign a new contract during the season.
Lolol, your sure? Where have these donors been when we've been going after some of the higher ranked QB's over the last few years?
If you put Graves next to Hawthorne, this defense suddenly becomes awfully tough to score on. 10-2 becomes much more attainable.
Lolol,, cmon on . That's a cop out. Of course you "don't know what to tell me", because you don't know. That statements even sillier than the last one. You're sure? We've gone after some high profile QB's and other high end recruits a couple of years ago, and supposedly haven't had the $$$ to play in that pool. So what, now we have the money? Considering the DT is probably the biggest area of need( unless the 4 guys they brought in do well, which they just might), if the moneys there for the asking, then what's happened in past years? Are these all NEW donors?
B1G putting rule in place to deny eligiblity to anyone who has declared for the NFL or been places on a roster.
No Graves
No Graves
Doesn't Indiana have a guy or two in same situation that have come back? Seems to me the barn door is open...
so the B1G can overrule a court? some of you legal eagles in here weigh in please.
(to quote a famous line from Ghosts of Mississippi, "I never went to law school, but that sounds like bull---- to me."
New Big Ten rule is going to end the Graves dream.
I could be wrong but isn't the injunction currently only for athletes that filed? Not a blanket "anyone that wants the year is eligible," as well as being strictly against the NCAA eligibility rule and nothing else. The big ten adding a rule would require a judge to find against both organizations. Which is still definitely possible but it's one extra layer.
I think the courts are once again over stepping their boundaries. Not sure they actually have any jurisdiction in some of these cases they're weighing in on.
Its possible the courts can say they have eligibility, but they can't force the specific conferences to accept them back. Basically if the B1G and SEC say were not allowing these players back, they don't have to.
LSU combing through their roster for guys to cut as we speak
This,
it shows how completely stupid our judicial system is. Don’t like the ruling, find a judge that will change it for you. So annoying.
what's the logic? i am all for a amateur student scholar league but this does nothing to accomplish that. all this does is hand the sec back an unlevel playing field
I think the hopes would be that the SEC would follow suit and do the right thing. We’ll have to sit back and wait and see if that happens.
