Iowa running out of NIL money?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Real Woods, beloved Hawkeye and Iowa homeowner is leaving for CKWC in Michigan. Seems like some of that NIL money should have been spent to keep him at HWC?

[headshuck]

Restrictive covenants are falling by the wayside.

You don't seem to realize he isn't in college anymore.

The same Nichols' checkbook that funds NIL can be used to write checks for RTC athletes.

So, not NIL. Got it. Also not a college topic. Check.

You certainly understand that the connection that they couldn't pay Woods to stay at HWC might indicate they're running low on funds due to all their NIL activity this year?  You seem like a smart guy so I'm sure you understood this.

Pay your damn debts.  Maybe then we can get fewer ads.

Who’s paying that 1.3m to Cstar?  Since we have as much proof that someone is throwing bags of money at psu guys now…..

In an incredible plot twist, Bob Nichols is revealed to be payor of Cstar's $1.3 million bag.

This is far more proof that PSU proxies are "giving out bags" than anything we have heard or seen from Iowa guys.

Yes, we heard Nagao infer that Iowa offered him more than PSU, but we don't know how much more.  Also, maybe Iowa did a better job of assessing Nagao's talent?

BTW all this discussion about "contacting guys not in the portal," and how PSU doesn't do it.  I heard Parker Keckheisen was contacted about NIL for transferring by a PSU affiliate to be their 184 in 2023-2024 (which eventually went to Truax when Parker declined.)  Pretty decent source...

Subtle.  But the nagao comment is often used to stipulate fact that Iowa pays more all the time etc….

$1000 more?  $1 more?  He never said.

But carter is getting over a million apparently.

And apparently PSU recruiter Parker despite not being in the portal, kinda like OSU and Hamiti.

Wrong.  Only Iowa does bad things regarding nil and portal

I just assumed that bc Woods went to Cliff Keen that he would be going the "mercenary" root and competing for another country this next cycle.

And honestly, good for him, the US system I would say is #2 behind the russian system in terms of being an absolute meat grinder for making the team.  If he can sidestep that, make some teams AND be relatively healthy, more power to him.

No idea, just a reflex I have when I hear that somebody has moved to Michigan/Cliff Keen, they must have access to another passport somehow.

Oh, I'm well aware of this. (although I now realize the second time I brought it up I referred to "PSU" as opposed to 'PSU proxy.'... but no different than people who complain about 'Iowa's recruitment' of Teemer and Buchanon)

So moved to be in the same room and same weight as Gomez?

[CHROMEBIRD]

Maybe he wants to hang with his bro Rags? Also not too shabby of a room to train at. Gomez, Pantaleo, Lewan, Saldate, Lemley, Rags, Futrell? (idk)... learn from Sergei and KJ...

Gomez has the body of an 80 year old.  I love watching him wrestle, but he doesn't have much left in him.  His knees just can't take the torsion anymore.
