do you blame any of them
its all lies , smoke and mirrors

the athletic landscape is a disaster, and the NCAA as we knew is on life support
as we all know college athletics are a business, and I don't blame these kids for taking the money where and when they can get it- however the ends need to justify the means
but Iowa men’s wrestling team roster of 33 with a head coach and 3 assistant coaches.
The wrestling program at Iowa made $1,779,820 in revenue and spend $2,842,826 in expenses.
racking up a net loss of $-1,063,006.

The ends don’t need to justify the means. The NIL contracts are funded by boosters who have more money than they know what to do with. There is no return on investment needed. This is a donation, not an investment. Iowa not losing to ISU at nationals again more than justifies a half a mil to these guys.

Going to be absolutely hilarious when these 1 semester guys underperform expectations (or even get hurt due to those dickheads training). The crazy track record of kids going there and getting worse speaks for itself. What a disaster.
