Iowa would have to back up the bank truck to get DeVries. He would and should command 5 million a year or stay put at WVU

And with Ferentz already making $7 million, would the board of regents have the stomach to have two state of Iowa employees making a combined $12 million a year?

They also owe A LOT of money back to the school from COVID.. Beth has her work cut out for her

Others have said, he has Iowa ties. But just as important, wouldn't it be easier to compete for the top tier of the B1G compared to getting WVU to the level of ISU, Kansas, Houston, TTU, Arizona? Rhetorical question of course. But, seems like a good reason to leave WVU.

Anyone else hear Hassel say on 2GNC that Iowa is averaging 700 fewer paid tickets at homes games than the worst Lickliter year...and they want to keep Fran?!
I’m sure it’s because they changed the capacity by 500 seats.

even Dolph looks grim. Has to be tough being a broadcaster of Iowa men’s basketball.

"Bobby, these guys can't guard a gallon of milk and most of them arent athletic enough to run a forklift at Spahn and Rose Lumber Company"

"Well Dolph, at least the people listening to us dont have to watch this crap with their eyes."

I won't dog on Dolph, he's put a lot of years in and he does love his hawks. I'm glad he survived King Kongate a few years back. That was some flat out bullsh*t.


Is that the time he said the other team gets great players and we get Maise Daily or whatever that dudes name was. Said it on a live mic

Right in that same time frame I believe. But I thought they were two separate instance?
I really don't remember any more.

They were two separate incidents. Dolph made the Daily comment then 3 games later or something made the King Kong comment. Even if Dolph hadn’t shot himself in the foot (not that it’s really an excuse for the King Kong comment), Fran was looking for an excuse to try to push him out after the two Wisconsin fans were stuck behind Marge using tickets Dolph gave them
