Yes, I agree that the rules the Swarm set up require charitable work, for one half of the swarm, according to what Brad said.
Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
The other half is business related work ie a company pays you to cut a commercial
CW kind of explained it in his Two Guys named chris. There are two arms of collectives. The fan funded charity part and then the part where they hook up players with business deals. So while it is all part of the Swarm there is two separate funding parts. Sounds like he got paid from business deals already and that would be the 15% part. It isn't technically for coming to Iowa.
What NCAA rule is the Iowa NIL violating?
After loss in court, the NCAA is pausing investigations into third-party NIL deals with athletes
The NCAA has told its enforcement staff to halt investigations into booster-backed collectives or other third parties making name, image and likeness compensation deals with Division I athletes.
I get the two sides of the collective. And I totally get your post. But if you have to spend a lot of time explain why a $15,000 Payment (or whatever the 15% amounts to) and the clawback money is “technically” not for coming to Iowa, you failed to convince people that he was not paid to come to Iowa. Plus when they tweet out $100,000 is coming to Swarm when KP announced, they didn’t distinguish then, which leads to a lot of confusion. This is why it’s a good idea to have a public relations company look through tweets before you send out in times like these. It’s a public relations disaster for the Swarm.
Probably already been said, but there isn't really anything stopping him (or any other Collective leader) from lying thru their teeth on something like this, is there? Fans/donors are never going to see the in/out line items of the cash. Of course an NIL Collective director would say no fan money went to him, whether it did or didn't.
The way Sam worded it, it is a violation of pay to play (that the NCAA still has on the books, but not enforcing) however, Brad was careful enough not to use that exact language that Sam made.What NCAA rule is the Iowa NIL violating?

So how do you know that Brad said that many Swarm members dropped their membership?
They call that "spin," or damage control. He knows the future of SWARM is on thin ice with this little development.
So when I'm needing a new car I just go hang out at a nursing home for a few hours? Is that how this works?
Saying he wasn't paid to come here but was just grossly overcompensated for his charitable work is certainly a parsing of words.
This. Which is why its important for local media to press these people on the hard questions when they get them on the radio. Like they do with Pollard. Not gargle their balls and offer their backs as a spot for him to shoot his wad.
