You’d have to think this means it’s a done deal - because if he puts that out there and this falls through that would be awkward.
He did the same thing before Pribula picked Missouri and that offensive tackle picked Ohio State.

Poster: "Brad — I’d love to see a big “DONATE NOW” button in the header on the Swarm website. I felt like I had to dig around (on the Join page) to donate. Make it obvious and easy. Just an idea."

Brad: "Thank you. You might be surprised how difficult it is to get this done."

Difficult? @Wild Onion @ivan_drago & co. help him out. Ivan it's the least you could do after the catastrophe of NIL.

Brad says on TOS that he put forth $150k of his own funds last year
He's a fucking liar. Zero chance some 40-ish year old actuary put $150k of his own money in.

I guarantee he's doing some horseshit like calculating his time, but absolutely zero chance he donated that much money.

He’s not desk jockey Loog - he’s the CEO of a legit company. I bet he makes plenty and is spending pretty close to what he claims.

I’d rather light my money on fire than trust these guys to spend it appropriately

I have no idea if they are doing a good job. I don’t care because i do not donate and no one else took the initiative to start it or run it.

I do know that an actuary with a 25 year career for a private held consulting company would have $150k laying around to donate if they choose.

I’m starting to think that the consequences of comically godawful QB assessment and development for the better part of a decade may be coming home to roost. The gift of Bridawg and Bud continues to give.

Starting to? We've had offensive issues, especially at the WR position for a long time. Our current QB issues lie w/the head coach period. Love what he's done for Iowa, but we've been very slow to address or recognize these issues.

They've had 2 years to get Cam Miller on campus.
He doesn’t have the “measurables” would be my guess as to why they never even gave him a chance.

The kid is just a player. Not the most athletic but not a stiff. He was a 3 year starter for us in basketball too. Just competes.

Neither did Drew Tate but the dude was just a winner despite the stiffs he had around him.

Cool coach alert!! Did you all wear matching shoes? Were you allowed on the bench or relegated to the second row?

that was what you’d call sarcasm, Rec.

but yes, prior to Lester, Kirk’s choices about who to put in
charge of finding and developing QBs and WRs were criminally stupid for a long time (GDGD, Bridawg, an old checked out KOK, and Bud). the fact that he continues to choose Bud is one of the things that I currently hate about him most.

Cade (and Spence and Bacon) didn’t have measurables or athleticism either.
