A good on-the-ball defender. A mid-range game that is elite on the college level. My guy is going to have a lot of options.

Not surprised and glad that he will play on a successful team and make
enough money to invest and be set for a long time
Always have liked Creighton, have followed them since Paul Silas played for them
He eventually played for the Celtics and won 3 NBA Championships

Sad to say, we'll never get the college game back to where it was. Money talks now and Iowa doesn't have enough to compete.
If that kid that left IL for KSU got 2 milly I'd say Josh is worth not a penny less then that. But that NIL world is insane. Will he stay local and go to ISU or Creighton? Or to highest bidder? He's gonna have options

I believe that Creighton is his destination
Think he has always liked the Bluejays and certainly was aware of them
being from Council Bluffs
But if he can get another Million or two perhaps, he can be persuaded to go elsewhere

I'm in your corner, these are professional athletes in an entirely free market for their services. The part not being covered is the student fees to cover the expenses incurred for the sponsors of teams, the colleges. There aren't many colleges where athletics is purely supported by revenue they generate from tickets and media revenue. There isn't any ethics within college sports anymore. The character of the coaches and players is greatly diminished, but the biggest losers are the administrators of the Universities. They can set the rules for participation but they won't.

So basically Iowa's NIL budget for their entire roster which isn't even in the same area code as the upper end for a single star player.
I don't think people here realize the pickle Iowa's program is regardless of the coach. Mike Krzycrzewtzskcy couldn't come in the Iowa City and be above .500 with $3 million (double Iowa's NIL budget).

1) Lol, one's character isn't diminished by wanting to get paid for a service you provide that makes billions for universities.
2) No they can't set rules. It's been decided in US courts that players can be paid first of all, and anything like caps, restrictions, etc. would be stuck in litigation hell and overturned anyway. The only way this gets changed is by collective bargaining and that ain't gonna happen any time soon. Why would players decide to give away any of their bargaining chips, especially since 99% of them will never play in the NFL and the only money they'll ever make playing football is $60-80 grand as a role player for four years?

Don't blame the players. Blame the NCAA.
Maybe they should've let players sign autographs for some extra cash or get a cut of jersey sales back when they had a chance. We wouldn't be in this place right now.
The NCAA is 100% at fault for everything going on right now.
I don’t blame the players. If I was in their position I would go for the big bucks too. I don’t think the NCAA can do much. Probably takes legislation to correct a run away NIL

I'm not disputing your analysis of why I'm in error. That's not my point. My point is that the colleges should no longer be sponsors of sports because the connection between the classroom has been lost. If a college wants to rent their name and facilities to a for profit team to compete against other sponsored teams, go for it. Let's eliminate these athletes from the classroom unless they want to pay for their own tuition, books and living arrangements and be serious students.

Congress and the courts have said players can be paid and there's no restrictions like caps, etc. that can be put on it unless there's collective bargaining.
If you had a group of computer engineers and Google or Apple said they wanted a cap of $60K per year put on them, that ain't gonna fly whatsoever. If they want caps they'd have to come together with a union and negotiate a pay scale. You think players are going to negotiate when they hold every single card already?
It's not a runaway NIL, it's a free market and the players are getting what the market will bear. It isn't the job of congress to decide what people get paid for their services, nor should it be. If the universities and collectives don't like it they should quit paying that much. But they won't.

Yes to every word of this. The ADs coaches are all just mad at one another... Because they can't control themselves. The NCAA coulda shoulda read the tea leaves back when Ed O'Bannon started up his suit. Had they just done obvious things back then this would all be old news. But that NCAA had some deep pockets and good lawyers that were able to keep it from going through the courts. They kicked that NIL can as far down the road as they could. Once it got to the Supreme court there was only one way they could rule and that's what they did 9-0. As divided as that court is and society in general to get a 9-0 vote should tell everyone all we needed to know.
Like the NBA and how they can't control themselves to the extent of drafting 18 yr olds out of HS. So much so they had to make rules about not being able to. And they've gone back and forth on it over the last 20-30 yrs. If they would just not draft them then their wouldn't be an issue. But they literally can't control themselves if a Kwame Brown is out there boy oh boy they gotta take him.
