Spencer turned around Iowa and started the PA pipeline (which has since dried up). If not for injuries he would have been a 4x NCAA champ.
Is Bassett to Iowa the next Spencer? Or Jax to Ok State?
Or Blaze to Ohio State?
Yeah but for those 5 ex-Iowa guys, if they had known in June they could have taken their time planning their next moves, not to mention avoid the hassle of moving in and out of Iowa City and then again to wherever they land.
How would you know the $500,000 is wrong without knowing the actual figure though? Do you know the actual figure? If not, how can you be sure $500,000 is absolutely wrong?
