Freeman committed to Creighton and now insiders say they’re probably out for Dix, because he doesn’t want to play with him again. Because he quit on his team. Kansas writer thinks it’s them or Iowa most likely.

I think he’s replaceable at a lower cost, but having portal guys come back is good for fan excitement and perception IMO

that said, good for him. Get rich.
You sound like some sad guy after his wife left him for his neighbor. Also lol at the people who said he didn’t want to play with Owen after he “quit” on the team.

I have no inside information, but I think it’s quite possible that our new coach explained to some of these players that they would have to change the way they play and there would be expectations of,toughness, defense, and rebounding. And they don’t want to do that.

Skilled player, but also a contributor to the soft pussy culture of Iowa Basketball.

It's amazing that there are college basketball players who will never make the NBA getting paid more than some NBA players right now, and the money is mostly coming from successful businesswomen who should know better.

Indiana fans are pissed at DeVries and want to know what the fuck he’s doing with the money because it sure isn’t landing any portal players.

Fun to read.
It seems a little early for that, but I will still enjoy reading it.

At the end of this season, Garza will have made $3.2 million in the NBA.

He has very publicly mentioned he wanted Sandfort, Dix and Koch to return to Iowa. Dix left because Creighton has money, and Iowa is poor.

If the NIL numbers are to be believed, there are teams paying over $5 million for Pryce, Dix and Freeman…Iowa never made the NCAA tournament with those players playing together.

That's the worst thing you can think of doing for 2.5m? BTW we aren't SHARING a barstool.

I'd murder you with my bare hands during happy hour while sitting on a barstool at Blazing Saddle for 250k.
Oh I meant I'd give you the 250k.

Dix and Freeman will be making twice as much as Brock Purdy, who has played 40+ NFL games. Just blow up this NIL absurdity.
As predicted, this version of NIL will greatly reduce the overall interest in college sports. Give the players scholarships, housing, meals, $100k/year and let them make money from true endorsements. If the players don’t like it, they can go “pro” and languish in the G-league and get paid their market value.

Our lineup was supposedly 1.5 million last year. This is stupid.

Keep in mind the revenue share is new this coming year, so you can't really compare the two years. There's going to be a big jump across the board.

I only want players who were raised in single parent homes preferably section 8 as well as a minimum of 4 siblings

The players are also trying to lock in the deals before Monday when the deals have to be approved.

I thought the hold up was that House will be signed in on Monday (or something) and then players will know what all schools have to spend?

None of these guys are worth close to this much money. It looks like McCollum will re-start with Koch (and maybe the Miami transfer) and an entire new roster.
