I think they can AFFORD to...they have just decided it's not a great use of their moneyThey can’t even afford to give MBB any NIL money apparently, they’re not going to have funds for that buyout.

This! kid beat cancer, he has had other challenges. I hope he goes somewhere and has a great final yearI think we're seeing the appreciation for teams playing defense so it'll be interesting where PMac lands.
Dudes been thru a lot. Time to enjoy the last of it. And being away from his family is probably a good thing.
Wonder if he'll land at a mid tier ACC team.
They can't afford not to. Even modest excitement or hope, let alone actual success would let Iowa recover that buyout easily in attendance, donations, merch, etc.They can’t afford that.
Lol! Ringing endorsement for recruits. Hey, remember the wall in Game of Thrones and how they send criminals and bastards to serve the Knights Watch because it's so awful no one else will do it? They serve for life, and then when you die at the funeral they say "His watch has ended." like it's a good thing they no longer have to live this miserable existence? Yeah, finishing your time with Iowa basketball is basically the same.I'm guessing he's referencing Game of Thrones.
Would Fran even know what to do with the allocated funds? It is already public information that the Men's Basketball recruiting budget outdoes even Kaptain Kirk and the football program. And the results are Brock Harding from 50 miles down I80. I think Fran is just in over his head in the recruiting aspect of the game and has been for several years, maybe the entire time he's been at Iowa honestly.It's a different era. The NIL situation of any P5 school is going to be near the top of the list for questions asked by any potential hire for any job now.
And you can't say, "it will improve if we hire you."
Iowa's collective needs to start putting big money now into Fran's program or they are hurting their options with the next one.

Fran's buyout drops to $5.4 million on April 1, so I wouldn't be shocked if Beth makes a move. Another year of embarrassing attendance and no post season will be tough to take.
Maybe Connor McCaffery-Clark could be her assistant...
I know nothing about GOT but it’s very similar to the “last radio call” used for LEOs killed in the line of duty.I'm guessing he's referencing Game of Thrones.
How can they possibly get by on a measly $70+ million annual media payout??They can’t even afford to give MBB any NIL money apparently, they’re not going to have funds for that buyout.
Still means he died...I'm guessing he's referencing Game of Thrones.
I'm sure it is. I'm just saying that the context that the kid in his early twenties is using it in while discussing transferring, is probably referencing Game of Thrones and not dead policemen.I know nothing about GOT but it’s very similar to the “last radio call” used for LEOs killed in the line of duty.

And then turn around and claim we are poor because of Blum's fundraising techniques lolFran defenders are convinced ISU has one of the biggest NIL in the country and they just buy any player they want. It's both sad and hilarious.
Yeah, they don't really make off the rack neckties for 8+ ft. guys.That guy. Smedium neck tie.
TJ's shadow network of billionaire donors is also legendary with the Gopher fan base too.Fran defenders are convinced ISU has one of the biggest NIL in the country and they just buy any player they want. It's both sad and hilarious.
The reality of what their program is, and the smoke and mirrors that Fran was able to subsist on for the last few years, is really smacking them in the face.Fran defenders are convinced ISU has one of the biggest NIL in the country and they just buy any player they want. It's both sad and hilarious.
It's even better than that -- they'll become a coaching tryout mill similar to a low or mid major, then if they do find somebody actually good, they'll get poached from Iowa to go coach at a real school that tries.If that's the book on Iowa in coaching circles, they're going to have a very hard time getting anyone with a proven track record to replace Fran
