That is 100 percent not true on the NIL front. And Iowa State is not planning on increasing scholarships. Any increase in a men’s scholarship requires an increase on a women’s scholarship. Iowa State needs as much funding as possible to help with revenue sharing and won’t be increasing scholarships as those cost money.

2 questions:

1. As far as NIL goes for foreign players, there are different rules though, correct? Wouldn’t their F-1 visa limit things? Active earnings vs Passive earnings?

2. Is the scholarship count exactly even between the men and women sports at ISU? I know it has to be at least equal, I just didn’t know if women had more scholarships or if it was just spread out differently.

Great questions.

1. I don't know all the mechanics as we work with the ISU international student office and attorneys to make sure this is compliant, but there is a way all schools have found to still be able to help International students in the NIL world. You will see more and more international pros come to the States.
2. Candidly I don't know exact details. I just know even with the new guidance from the NCAA, Iowa State is not in a position to add scholarships.

Similar situation to what Creighton is doing with Fedor Žugić?

Knowing nothing about quality of competition he is playing against here... Looks like an good 4/small 5.

The BBL is the top German league. Same league that Nick Weiler Babb, Matt Thomas and Osun currently play in I believe.

Edit: after looking at the rosters, there are a lot of very good former college basketball players in that league.

After watching a few of his videos, he is not affraid to take it strong to the hoop and dunk. As stated by others, competition may not be the greatest.
