I'm sure the athletes graduating from high school would just love that approach. You do realize that Many/most of Iowa's football players do in fact get a degree, right? Add to that that most of them will NEVER play in a pro sports league, so maybe this whole "college education" thing does in fact mean something? We've had doctors and engineers etc.. come through our athletic programs, or does none of that matter anymore? And NO we don't need another NFL league. At least the 5 year plan doesn't stray the eligibility too far from what it has been.
nice photo but wrong species of snake to be appropriate. You really need a photo of a python or black mamba.
Not necessarily.
How so. Were talking about a few guys MAYBE, and this will be worked out in the next couple of years. One guy on most those big 12 teams isn't going to make much difference anyway. I think were over thinking the importance of this and the B1G is doing the right thing. The SEC will follow suit this year or soon.
Do you not think Iowa wouldn’t have a much better outlook on the season if we had Graves, XN and Drew Stevens? A few fringe NFL players could make a huge impact. All I care is the rules are the same for all teams.
Drew is the starting kicker for Washington, not exactly a fringe NFL player. I honestly don't think the other 2 would make or break the season. And even if they did, so what? They both played 4 years and had their times to shine. Let's move on.
Uh, excuse me? Only one of those is a "fringe player". X will most likely make the Chiefs 53 man roster. Stephens has already been announced as the Commanders kicker for this season. At this point we have no idea whether one of the 7 or 8 DT will fill that role. As for the rules being the same? What does that mean. We play in the B1G, and if the conference keeps these (handful by the way) players out. then its fair throughout the conference. We won't play anyone in the SEC unless its in the bowl game or playoff, and they may very likely rule the same way anyway. If we lost to ISU and its because they got one "fringe player" back then we didn't deserve to beat them anyway. This is a great deal to do with pretty much nothing, especially if the B1G bans these handful of players from returning, (which it appears they are going to do. I was GLAD when they finally stopped the covid year crap, and hopefully we'll move on from this as well.
X will make the Chiefs 53 man roster, and frankly we're solid and deep in the DB position anyway.
