Iowa needs to offer $500,000 NIL to Nagao NAO

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

That has to be enough to get it done.  If that happens I predict Teske transfers BACK to Penn State (again).

If Iowa threw anywhere near that amount of money to a Cinderella story type wrestler I think it hurts Iowa's recruitment moving forward.

 

Kid can just commit somewhere for 1-2 years prove himself then ultimately go to Iowa whilst looking for a $$$$ day. It also proves Iowa is willing to spend dough and not have the best interests of the kids who originally committed and been working their a** off in that room for X amount of years.

If the new rules pass I think they impact Nagao’s style of wrestling a lot. He’s still very good and will be in the championship mix soon at 133, but he’s going to need to adjust some things that he does well imo.

I have high expectations for Ayala but don't think he could pull big NIL money (yet) no matter how stupid donors are. Unproven is one thing; damaged goods (shoulder) is another level of risk. 

Another downside to these types of NIL deals is that now you could have athletes hiding injuries or prematurely returning from rehab.

Good thing that didn't happen when Spencer Lee was wrestling.
