Wasn't necessarily sharing with comparison to Iowa in mind, but moreso surprised they were able to pay enough recruits to compile top 25 ratings. :)
The breakdown of the Top 25 on 247 by conference is:

SEC - 12
B10 - 8
ACC - 3
B12 - 1
Notre Dame

This will only get more lopsided toward the B10 and SEC when TV revenue is shared with players. Nebrantska has always had enough to pay players well. Rutgers and Maryland are just riding the B10 coat tails (and in decent recruiting territory).

I believe Pat's lover has posted here before (not to be confused with the kid's mother)

I love Pat Fitzgerald. I’ve always hated how much he hated Iowa. The dude is a badass and him endorsing Iowa is pretty fucking cool. The way it ended at NW was clearly not a good look, but I’ll still take him as a Hawk fan.
I think the hate was an act. He was creating a rivalry for a dogshit team that had no rivals.

Another disadvantage for Iowa with the new 105 man roster thing....

But, other teams were stockpiling way more kids than us as walk-ons weren't they? Friend from Nebrantska said the new roster rule was going to cost them a lot of kids that they were paying a lot of money to as walk ons, just to keep them around. Should put those kids back in the recruiting/portal pool?

More of them will get scholarships. And I believe there is a slight bottleneck for the next few years because we have almost twenty walkons that
It sounds like will gradually get down to ten.

they’re going from 85 to 105 (the whole roster) in ‘25. That’s the whole point. Iowa has indicated they’re going to use about 95 and still keep some room for walkons.
No, they aren’t. Mostly everyone is staying at 85 scholarships. The article you didn’t read even specifically says this.

So the 105 is a hard cap on the roster? I assumed that was 105 scholly guys and then walk-ons on the top of that. I guess you know what they say when you assume.

105 is the hard cap on the roster (year round) and also will be the scholarship limit once the settlement is final. There’s not really a functional difference with NIL anymore anyway.

Can’t scholarships be split up like FCS in the future?

that’s why the Dakotas have a huge advantage in the MVFC. They have reciprocity with Minnesota and Wisconsin, but not iowa. So they can basically recruit the major upper Midwest metros at the price of IN STATE TUITION!!! and then split up the rides accordingly. Then give full rides to priority kids from other states.

I thought I read that every scholarship you give over 85 has to have a corresponding scholarship given to women's sports teams. Is that right?

yes, which is why for now everyone is doing 85 + 20 walk-ons instead of 105.

You can never have too many rowers on the women's crew squad.

Wont this now help UNI though? Iowa won’t be able to stockpile walk ons that would have otherwise accepted a scholarship to UNI unless they were all going to a Dakota school anyway.

Couple offers went out to a DB from the DC area and WR from Iowa. The only teams that have offered are local Missouri Valley teams. His twin signed with ISU they didn't offer him.

The WR is 6’4 and athletic as hell. Probably should have better offers than he does.

However…

You posted this in the wrong thread multiple times? Quite the standard you’ve set for yourself here.
dude, you should be spending your time doing something important....like criticizing Trump.

Who’s the Wr from Iowa? KF was at SEP this week chatting with a jr TE. Pretty good athlete and good frame.

Since he said his twin is committed to ISU, I assume he means the Stecker kid from Spirit Lake.
