    These are not numbers actually reported by the NCAA…my error. The methodology is summarized in the report.

    Please note that these are estimates based on the methodology of the report. The collectives are not required to report actual numbers.

    Actually, google “NCAA Collectives.” It is amazing data on all of the major schools.

    Iowa lands Morehead guard from portal

    According to the NCAA, the Iowa collective “collected” 9.5 million in funds in 2023-24. Ohio State led with 20 million. Iowa was 7th out of 18 Big ten teams, I believe. My opinion is that Iowa is doing a good job with its collective. Simply google NCAA NIL and the data is there to study.

    Nope. Fran should retire. It’s time.

    How long until Beth takes decisive action

    I said this at the beginning of the season and was crucified for it. Fran is old and tired. No energy for recruiting. Time to retire.

    Jan Jensen

    Jan Jensen is like Phil Parker. A truly elite coach. The Iowa women overachieved all year. No one gave them a chance to be national runner-up. A great, great achievement. Back to back national runner-up finishes puts this team at the pinnacle of all Iowa teams in football or basketball over the...

    Hawkeye Hoops Advances in NIT

    I never thought it was possible that a team from Iowa could win the national championship in football or basketball. But lo and behold, the Iowa women almost did it last year (national runner-up) and Iowa State has a legitimate chance this year.

    compare 2024 to 2023

    Yes, I think it is a better overall team, particularly if Marshall is shooting well and Molly Davis can come off the bench as a spark plug (I want Affolter starting). The problem with college basketball is that your season is really defined now by single elimination tournaments. It is a great...

    Incredible championship win. This team played with so much heart. They were down 8 with 2:05 left

    I criticized Fran several weeks ago and dismissed the prospects of this team. I was wrong. There is plenty of talent on this year's team. Let's see what happens during the rest of the year. This is a good time of the year to be playing your best basketball. A win Sunday against a good...

    I know some people don't care about the NIT, but an NIT bid or an NCAA bid would be a tremendous achievement by this team. This team is capable of a deep run in the NIT, a tournament Iowa has never won (finished runner-up once). I really believe that a win over Illinois and one win in the BTT...

    Hawk Central, Tyler Tachman

    Patrick McCaffery is an outstanding young man. I cannot even imagine how difficult it is for a son to play for his father at this elite level of basketball. The scrutiny and the negativity can be overwhelming unless the team is winning constantly. I'll probably get in trouble for this, but I...
