    Aaron Woliczko Interview Today

    I was simply responding that I agreed with a post that suggested coaches are in a very difficult position today. Previous to NIL and University funding if a new player didn't pan out it was a poor use of a scholly. Now a miss could mean a lot of money poorly invested. I wasn't commenting on...

    Indirect criticism from this board, for example. She's not that good apparently.

    Aaron Woliczko Interview Today

    Oh, I agree completely. Yes, they are paid a lot of money. Yes, they have multi-year contracts. So, I'm not suggesting we need to set up a GoFundMe site. NFL and NBA GM's have things like a database of comps, long term contracts, etc to have discussions with players about comp. College...

    IOWA will be spending over $10M on the 2026-27 roster (Portal opens on Tues, April 7)

    I vividly remember the beginning of NIL. Garza, I think, missed it by 1 year. Someone here thought Garza might get $100,000 if he was here for NIL. I thought that was totally unrealistic! In a way I was right - he would've gotten millions.

    Lots questioning coaching on here...

    Well, I certainly don't agree that JJ "doesn't have a clue". And even the best coaches aren't always able to get their players to play their best every time out. Lisa Bluder made it to the S16 twice pre-CC. Twice in 20 years without Clark. She lost in the first round 7 times. 5 times in the...

    Is it assumed Alvaro returns?

    I was a dumba$$ thing to do by both players. I saw a nearly identical play in the Tenn/Mich game. You don't get a special prize for ending up with the ball in your hands after the whistle blows. It's just a dumb jock dick measuring contest.

    I agree with you. 100%. However - I've been watching Colin Cowherd. Yeah, he's arrogant, but he does do his homework and he's pretty smart. So, he is pointing out that the B1G is dominating in football and basketball in the NIL/portal era. The B1G has the footprint in big money areas, like...

    Is it assumed Alvaro returns?

    I like him. He's got talent and will forever be a Hawkeye Legend. So, with all due respect to AF - is that what you get for $1 million??

    expectation for next year and waxing philosophical

    Things I expect to improve - 1. Attendance. There should be some more sellouts in the B1G season. Hopefully a lot of them 2. NIL $. This run should give fans hope that their money will be used wisely Things that should improve - 1. Recruiting and portal interest - Ben is now pretty...

    Ben McCollum is a mad scientist

    It's so different, and refreshing, to have a coach looking for an edge somewhere vs sending your team out to the floor and hope they shoot well.

    Reporters asked & Ben McCollum answered. Despite the rumors, he's not going anywhere

    Correct. Ambition is part of the package for most successful coaches. They tell their players every day to work to achieve greatness. Its hard for them to ignore opportunities.

    "Dad" made $40-45 million at Iowa (according to AI). Played at Iowa for 4 years. Graduated from Iowa Yeah, I guess I do expect him to support Iowa, certainly with a little bitterness.

    Excitement. A team you care about. Why does HS basketball draw big crowds? It's not really that complicated.

    *****Ben McColllum Postgame Interview after advancing to the Elite 8 (plus Tate, Cooper, Cam, Brendan, Stirtz, Kael, Alvaro)*****

    Ben is an amazing coach. What other coach plays two starters a total of 28 minutes in the biggest game of the year? What coach sits a player (Banks) that is your second leading scorer and the hero of the Florida game for 26 minutes? 38 points, 10 boards and 2 TO's from the bench! How does...
