**Official 2022 Iowa Football Season Thread**

[douglasbader]

The best thing that should happen out of this upcoming shit storm would be Garta getting fired. The worst thing that should happen out of this upcoming shit storm would be the athletic department eating a giant shit sandwich and reversing their dipshitted stance.

I still stand by lol'ing at giving the NIL anything and that the players don't need or deserve it, but this is the reality. Garta has done fucked up bad and he is going to have a shitty Christmas Eve.

 

[Kamala]

I love the Hawkeyes, but the football program is extremely unlikeable at the moment

It's like it fucking on purpose.

 

[douglasbader]

I'm guessing that Garta thought he could do whatever he wanted to do and Brad/NIL collective would just take it and not make it public.

He forgot that they don't have to play by the rules that the Iowa media usually has to play by to keep their access and be bullied into silence. I love that he went public with it.

I honestly don't think he cares.

He's just cashing checks. When they stop isn't of much consequence to him at all.

He's a gutless goober.

Right. I hate all of this. But that’s no reason for Iowa to be idiots about it.

Iowa and others know the current situation is unsustainable and will come back to earth within one season.

Iowa realizes how stupid it is to be paying kids this money when they are going to have to re-recruit and pay everyone again every year.

Iowa knows that NIL lawsuits related to Title IX (and other things) are coming, which will also throttle back the current situation.

Iowa also knows that the current environment jeopardizes the long term finances of athletic departments, given that almost all debt is backed by facility and foundation revenue

Iowa has historically been a pioneer in equal rights in athletics.

I’ll more insight from Gary at dinner.

To summarize….Barta is ahead of the curve on this.

Exactly what I was thinking. You have to try to be this fucking stupid and unlikeable.

Replace “knows” and “realizes” w/ “speculates” or “is betting on” and you may have made an accurate observation.

 

[CamelTones]

The softball team is free to find their own person to work on NIL deals for them.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

It’s probably correct that universities can’t be directly involved with NIL w/o running afoul of Title IX but all you need to do is create a separate foundation that is “independent” but exists to support NIL fundraising. It’s how the catholic church now operates fundraising (because of the sex abuse lawsuits)

Ol Wade going with the “I trust the legal acumen and foresight of Gary” defense.

@Bagtigo , order for 2

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Just got dinner cleaned up. Gary says my conclusions are all wrong, Ryan.

he says they are intentional opting in to stupidity.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

Just got his splouge cleaned up off my chin. Gary says my conclusions are all wrong but my ball clasping at the end is spot on.

he says they are intentional opting in to my throat.

Yall nastay

Since when has Gary been worried about lawsuits?

 

[Dr. Zaius]

 

[MikeyJoe]

No reason to not just go all in now that he’s put it out there.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Reminds me of a certain offense/OC

 

[Russell Ziske]

Gary Retarta

 

[douglasbader]

Sounds like something happened, maybe Fran reached out to Brad with support?

 

[Revolver]

Gary Barta getting dunked on all over Twitter over this would be the Christmas Miracle we never knew we needed. Keep ‘em comin’!

 

[BuffettHawk]

Not allowing The Swarm a table at the Hawkeye Huddle really brings a sensible chuckle. James Vandenberg’s mom was allowed a table when James was playing so that she could sell her arts and crafts.

 

[KitKatApples]

Did we make that same offer to Proctor’s mom?

Where do you think the looker got the airbrushed Honey Boo Boo jean jacket for his grandaughter?

Is this confirmed? I don’t think Vandenberg’s mom makes arts and crafts. I don’t think she does much of anything. Seems like fake news.

 

[snips]

she made me feel funny inside

[StinkyMcFadden]

Completely normal.

Are we sure that’s not the equipment managers?

 

[BngHawk]

@AZmess sighting!!

 

[Gushawk]

Thanks, Bridawg.

Indistinguishable from any 4a high school.

I <heart> hot dads?

One of the least gay things in that photo.

Mac’s asshole yielded an infinitely more pleasant photo.

[Mr. Hawk]

Wait, we’re expecting the Iowa media people like Rob Howe, The Gazette SJW dorks, et al who masturbated furiously over the medium steak / racism stuff to take a stance in opposition to something like “equality” and Title IX? Ok.
