Has to put himself out there for the family relocation planI mean... that's funny, no doubt.... but pretty off brand for the Franster. Is he turning over a new leaf?

I am hoping it was done without his knowledge or approval - like some intern put it together and they just put it out there. And somewhere Fran is at FranCon -50 about it.I mean... that's funny, no doubt.... but pretty off brand for the Franster. Is he turning over a new leaf?
Agree. Low major to high major is a complete coin flip. Ultimately though it is better than offering a scholarship the starting point guard that just graduated from Marion, or one of the Iowa City/ Cedar Rapids high schools.Seems like a bit of a hail mary. Seems like a lot of mid major interest.
Why does he remind me of Keith Olberman all of a sudden..This is ******* weird. Pardon my French
They certainly have a coattails effect from the Clark hype, and it's paying off huge. In a parallel world, I think it's what would ideally have happened to us after the Fiesta Bowl season with regard to transfers and recruits, but hasn't materialized to a fraction of what it's doing out East.Can we talk about Bluder getting to out spend Fran in the portal. LOL Iowa's pushing their chips all in for womens hoops which is pretty hilarious.

With Storr and Hepburn leaving Wisconsin, Hawks may slide up to 16th.They will still be picked 17th in a 18 team league
I don't think it matters in the grand scheme. Ask Steve Prohm what's it's like to be the guy who replaced the guy.They certainly have a coattails effect from the Clark hype, and it's paying off huge.

They lost money on their women's program just like every other school. There is not data out for this season, but for 22/23 season where they also went to the final four the women's program lost about $4.5 million.I get that but I'm laughing at the fact that the ROI is much smaller for womens hoops. Yes Carver was sold out all season but nobody mentions what the price of those tickets were...
It seems like a no brainer to me. Pump money into a mediocre men's program that has a clear ceiling of the round of 32 or pump money into the women's program to try and maintain the current momentum and excitement. ROI is obviously higher with men's basketball but even men's basketball isn't exactly a huge money maker outside of the blue blood schools and a few others. I'd rather they spend money to try and continue being one of the top women's teams than just another team in men's basketball.I get that but I'm laughing at the fact that the ROI is much smaller for womens hoops.

I'll be interested to see if that is really achievable.It seems like a no brainer to me.

Is there enough free pizza for this?lol ok. Or and this might sound crazy! Iowa fans could support both programs.
You would think that would be the case, but it's wrong. There just is not money in WBB at this time, the most revenue I saw from the link I provided was by S. Carolina, which brought in a little over $5 million last year, their expenses were $10.7 million. At the same time, their MBB program, not nearly as good as their WBB brought in $11.56 million. They actually made around $3 million for the school while the women's program lost over $5 million more.It seems like a no brainer to me.

Of course they should but the big NIL donors aren't very inspired by Fran to donate heavily to the men's program at the moment. Ultimately it's the big time donors that drive NIL not the little guys.lol ok. Or and this might sound crazy! Iowa fans could support both programs.
