I don’t see finalist potential in these 3. All 3 transfers had finalist potential last year. Not that I thought Teemer would be a finalist this year, but he proved he could.

I could see all 3 of these guys not AA. Actually, did any of them AA this year?

I agree with this. But we were talking about NIL $$$, not about results. These 3 guys cost real $$$, as did Mocco. The point is Iowa wasn't broke despite a certain post tagging hyena not owning up to his claim.

But from a results standpoint, agreed.

Remember when everyone thought Iowa’s portal usage was going to destroy their program? Yea, that was funny.

To be fair I think the poster was referring to Iowa’s NIL for wrestling losing their charitable status this summer like all NIL accounts. ISU Cardinal & Gold is already non-charitable identity. Thus, after this summer it will put these other NILs on the same level as ISU. Bob may not be as generous with no tax breaks.

I think Bob will still fund Iowa better than basically any other wrestling program (outside of maybe Richison and Oklahoma State). What I will be curious about is if Iowa struggles again next year at NCAAs (places 4th or worse), do the Brands seats get hot and Bob starts getting frustrated with his ROI and starts to withhold money until a change is made. I know Bob and the Brands are tight, so I doubt it, but that is one scenario I could see playing out where Iowa starts to lose some funding for wrestling.
