Is this like when Ferentz created an assistant coach of the year award for Doyle after Rhabdo?

Still makes no sense, but here’s the “method”:

How do you calculate how much these programs are worth?

According to Go Banking Rates, which went through the data, it's a matter of checking the Education Dept.'s athletics data analysis and adding up the total revenues from the most recent numbers, which were from 2019-20, before the Covid-19 pandemic.

I know a lot of people on here are over giving a shit about NIL, but this is sort of telling.

The Swarm had Kirk record a video asking for donations. They sent it to Barta and asked him to make it available to season ticket holders. The official response was that the athletic department will no longer support the swarm until they are Title IX complaint and raise money for all sports.

It’s football that pays for everything else. thus investment in it is not a terrible idea for making money for everyone else.

Even better, university admin and the BoR think it's fine for a collective to not be Title IX compliant, as do basically every athletic department in the country not headed by Gary Barta, but of course the final call lies with Athletics, which is run by a fucking retard.

If costing the AD $12 million in settlements over the last four years wasn't a firing offense, this should be.

Agreed, but that sounds way too stupid and obvious even for Garta.

They have gotten approval from the university and BoR, but the athletic department is saying nope.

Basically they’re asking for the ability to send Kirks swarm promotional video to all season ticket holders. The North Carolina NIL guy told Iowas that the only reason they were able to keep their QB was because of the access their athletic department has given him to promote their collective. He even told Barta that the university could send it out instead of them. Still a nope.

They also can’t advertise at Iowa games without going through and paying Learfield. You can tell from the guys posts that he’s getting burned out from all of this and wants to find someone else to do it.

Going to be hard to overcome both Brian and Gary in coming years.
For the past few years it’s been pretty awful actually. Can’t get much worse in fact, like literally super uncommon to be worse at a program with Iowa’s stature and facilities.
