I hope Iowa fans keep making burner accounts for Angelo

It is amazing to me how many people get duped by troll accounts who aren’t hiding the fact they are troll accounts, making it clear on their profile page. Like the Paniro one literally says it isn’t Paniro. The stupidity is astounding.

The transfer portal stuff is getting a bit crazy. It's literally PSU, OSU and Iowa, if they don't change rules that will be the foreseeable future, another team may get in the top 3 every so often, but this is setting up to be the same old same old year in and year out.

The same way it has generally been forever.

PSU, OkSt, Iowa will be the clear cut top 3 and a program like OSU, Michigan, Nebraska, Minnesota, Cornell, (hopefully ISU), etc. will crack the top 3 or 4 on occasion.

I think it’s Penn state with Okie state racing up on them, Iowa trying to keep up and the other programs you listed just trying to stay on the lead lap with the others only hope is a big crash in the guys infront.

The saving grace here will be a 30-man roster limit.

If guys don't just gray shirt and hang out in the RTC club, this is our saving grace with NIL and the power programs. And I'm simply talking about the smaller bottom 25% of programs.

The talent will flow downhill and end up at all the other programs because most rosters right now are holding 30-40 kids. Every other program will benefit from roster limits.

From an ESPN article:
The House settlement states that athletes have to report any NIL deal they sign with a third party that is worth more than $600 and that any such deal has to be for a "valid business purpose."

Acceptable deals, deemed "real NIL," can range from a national advertising campaign for, say USC women's basketball star JuJu Watkins, to a three-figure appearance fee at a local car dealer for a lesser known athlete.

The power conferences have contracted with auditing giant Deloitte to review booster NIL deals and decide whether each is a legitimate endorsement contract or a veiled attempt to circumvent the salary cap.

Deloitte plans to use data from past endorsement deals signed by college and professional athletes along with other information to pinpoint whether each deal exceeds an athlete's fair market value.

The power conferences are also creating a new organization tasked to enforce the salary cap and "fair market value" rules. This new entity will be separate from the NCAA's enforcement arm. Several of the college sports leaders involved in creating the new entity say it's an attempt to fully reset the crime-and-punishment process of college sports that has long been criticized for its lack of efficiency, transparency and equal treatment among offenders. It could be in place as soon as July 1.

A group of 10 power conference athletic directors have been meeting regularly during the past six months to design the new organization but have not publicly shared any details about what kinds of punishments a school or its athletes might face if they break the rules or how they intend to solve the same problems that roiled the NCAA's enforcement team.

$600 is such a laughably low number. Heck, even banks will let you bring in up to $10k in cash before they have to file a report and ask questions.

I do agree with that for sure.

I also think in the short term Iowa is the clear #2 team heading into next year at this point but obviously things are changing daily.

Okie states money helped quite a bit but I think the Taylor vs Brands situation is a bigger deal in the long run. Taylor is kinda fresh and exciting to college kids. Brands is far from those things.

Dresser comes across as the old sage guy, kind of that older, cooler dude that you like to hang around.

This is the problem I read about. The rich teams can stash an incoming freshman on their RTC and pay him 50-100k to go to school and train. If they notice he’s a stud then they’ll push out someone on the 30 man the next year who was worse. That’s why I said the only way this roster limitation works is if the RTC is for post grads and Olympic redshirts. Then PSU only has 30 like everyone else

Brands is far from those things but it hasn’t hurt them in getting high end talent, that’s for sure.
