Well, remember that a poster on here said they thought 100k/month was going to be coming in from their swill beer.

I worked in the booze business so I just laughed when I saw that. When you launch a new product you literally spend the next couple months "flooding" the market and then you are at the mercy of the consumer and sell through rates. A lot of the times some of these stores buy way more than they ever should have on their initial buy and they never purchase that kind of volume again. Initials sales rates are fools gold.

Apparently the tampering is true, NW suspected starting QB in the portal….recruited by current Sukeyes OC Lester, when he was a HC.
Right after hok spring game, right after Hill enters portal …( but purely conincdental.)

Trent Condon said on KXNO that Deacon's camp asked for $200k in NIL as that is a baseline rate for a starting Big 10 QB. Iowa said no, so he left. Condon claiming this was straight from an associate member of the Swarm collective.
That's insane for him.
Last night Chad said Iowa needs to cut about 5 scholarship players. I thought that was weird because for years Iowa has talked about "if we offer you a scholarship, we intend to stand by it."
Also mentioned Petras should be the starter at Utah St.

LMAO that's hilarious. What's the going rate for a NAIA QB?

With guys using Covid years many teams are over the scholarship limit heading into the spring. Iowa and Iowa State both included.

I get that but Iowa has chirped a lot over the years about how many scholarships ISU offers and how the Iowa way is different.

It probably doesn't help that Swarm overestimated the revenue they would get from the Swarm beer. This made them overspend on other players.

Talk about over playing your hand, the guy was the backup until the starter go hurt, and sucked when he was on the field, but now he wants $200K to do it again? Damn, where can I sign up.

Deacon Hill isn't even the projected starter week one (assuming McNamara is healthy). Asking for starter money when you are the backup and not even a good one seems like a bold move by Hill.

Either McNamara isn't going to be ready or this story is BS.

They are clearly concerned about McNamara otherwise they wouldn't be hitting the portal for a QB.
