Who’s Drake going to give a promotion to? Another one and done jumping off the Bulldog stepping stone.

Nice house. Was interesting that there was no black & gold Hawkeye theme anywhere in the photos.
the room that had the burgundy walls and blue ceiling reminded me of some work I did for a friend of mine. He wanted his living room with a burgundy ceiling and green walls. I tried to talk him out of it, but he was dead set. room was butt ugly.

Way up there
Iowa needs to wrap this up quick. Jobs like Texas won't directly impact it but another p5 job (with more recent history and no other sports to compete with NIL wise) opening up just muddies the water.

I never thought of him staying at Drake and I don't think there is any chance it happens but that's my favorite scenario now.

but the 3rd and 4th order of affect of the Texas hiring will directly impact other P5 jobs.

He’s probably starting to realize the ineptitude of that ADept and the director, and realizing how crappy the MBB program actually is . Probably better off at drake until a decent offer comes along from a legit bb program.
Without a decent NIL and fan apathy over there, it will be difficult for him to win enough to turn that program around. Iowa State’s basketball program is only getting stronger, there’s no room for little brother to compete. If Drake keeps their program rolling, they will be the #2 attraction in the state. McCollum lasts five years and flames out like Buttlicker did before Fran.

I honestly think it’s more Beth not wanting to announce anything before the women play and take away any thunder and attention from them.

There's no way they wait until tomorrow night or Tuesday if they've already got their guy. My guess is McCollum wants to pretend that he wasn't negotiating with Iowa prior to his team losing.

Yeah and with the portal opening, it means new coaches will be tossing around nil money. Everyone gets more expensive as teams start competing with each other and new deals start to set the market.

Maybe so. But what’s the point of that? No one cares if he was

Agreed. But that’s a more logical reason than not announcing today because the women play tomorrow.

More than likely they are still working out details. But it would be funny if there was a snag.
