You may be able to answer this. I said the same thing, but had another person tell me that scholarship players get certain privileges that walk-ons don’t. Maybe tutors or certain dining privileges, I can’t remember exactly.

That used to be true. I think that is gone now.

Yeah, I’m not positive. I’m pretty sure I heard it from a Iowa players parent. He would have been a freshman last year. He wanted ISU but ISU wasn’t interested. Was told by the Iowa coach that since his family could afford to pay that he would only get a walk on offer. He left at halftime of the game he was invited to due to that information. Tried for a full ride else where but no luck so he walked on at Iowa still.

That's not really true because I was able as a walkon to get all the benefits (tutors, training table, etc.) the scholarship guys got minus scholarship of course.

LOL, I should have known better when it involved Iowa, only Kirk would cut off the meals for a player.

Can you replace a person who leaves with someone who was already on the team? Wouldn’t Bohannon be a 1 for 1 replacement of himself last year?

Had beers with My Iowa friends on Saturday and the conversations were priceless. These guys were pissed when JoBo came back but Fran pulling an Iowa walk-on out of the transfer portal absolutely defeated these guys. They honestly don't even know what to say.

So, let me get this straight...

Garza = Jorbo

Most Improved = Patrick, because he improved his scoring average from 3.0 to 5.2, even though he only played 2 games the previous season?

Very surprised Conner wasn't the Spirit Award and Marge wasn't the Appreciation Award.

Perhaps environment? I live in Omaha. Every friend I have is a Husker fan. It's all irrelevant in the grand scheme of life. They have even gone with us a couple times to Lawrence to watch ISU vs. KU football. Plus, living in Omaha has been pretty easy for about 20 years or so. :cool:
