Contracts are made to be broken... But I hope Brands stays forever. And is followed by one of his surrogates (Spencer, Bull, etc.) anyone that can continue the "iowa way".
Why "Social Media" is great....
- Thread starter dunkej01
- Start date
Or as the joke goes in my industry: contracts are a starting point for future negotiations.
Brands is making over $600k/year, so they owe him $3M+ unless they can either fire him for cause or convince him to retire early. And then they'd have to pay his successor.
The University of Iowa can probably afford it, but that seems like a terrible resource allocation given that they'll someday need to hire an offensive coordinator who can put up more than 10 pts per game.
It gets better with every reply
Maybe half-dismes finally got the revelation that $$ are better thrown at coaching than athletes to turn the tables. I’m sure M2 does well, but maybe a few million up front, and a $800k/yr proposition at least gets a conversation going. What would NCAA rules say about him turning M2 over to a partner, as in how separated from it would he need to be to recruit it?
When that video started I thought that was a mannequin 😳 His skin looks like wax. That aside, in the whole flow of things this just keeps getting better and better with every post and charge.
David easily commands a top 3 salary if the rumors are true which I personally cant see. We know brands, will never know Caels, but he should get more than John Smith

Interesting. The article was in my Google news feed and there was no paywall. Now when I click on it in here there is one.
It’s an awesome article - puts the lie to the belief that Cael negatively recruited Spencer Lee . Lee never mentioned this - in fact it seemed clear he was talking about OSU (his other finalist). It’s the crazies that believe it. Anyway, I just googled it and could read it.

Audrey has written some great pieces on PSU wrestling. This one gives us a glimpse into the recruiting side we don't ever really hear about.
"If we have to spend a lot of time trying to talk somebody into coming here,” Sanderson said, “that hasn’t always worked out the best for us.”
If you open Athletic articles with the Twitter app on an Apple device, then click on “Show Reader” at the top, you can read the full article without paying for it.
Great write up! (Paraphrasing) “Other schools weave Penn State into their recruiting pitches. Cael never talks about the other schools; he doesn’t need to.”Nice article from Audrey Snyder.

Also, I wasn’t aware PJ Duke might be following the same path as Kasak and Ryder @M2. We’ve got more hammers than fuggedaboutit!
So does this mean Nelson Brands has a future in MMA or not??
This one yours, @tikk10 ? Sure looks like it. LOVE seeing Greg w/ the Big Emote. One of the highlights of the night for me.
Dang, both Pat and DC stripped 10 wins off of Cael. Both had him at 149-0!
DC doesn’t count his own losses to Cael, I guess.
Not mine, no, that's Tony Rotundo's. They were taken within a millisecond of each other, and Tony was seated to my left, I forget whether he was right next to me or two over. Mine is below, and if you compared them you might notice different approaches to color and saturation. My goal is to approximate the lighting conditions present in the arena--to replicate what most people actually see. But I imagine Tony would probably say that mine is too warm.

You’re right, and I prefer your color choice. Was considering it as a new avatar after the olympics (or if DT turns coats, lol).Not mine, no, that's Tony Rotundo's.

More wrestling talk from DC and Chael. Starts at the 25 minute mark.
Participation in women's wrestling is soaring. 45 states sanction girls' wrestling
Forty-five states sanctioned girls' wrestling with high school state championships. Iowa became the first Power Five school to start a women's program

Baylor deserves better, but at least he has a sense of humor about it!
Dodged bullets with those 2.
This is how you handle something potentially embarrassing happening to you on national TV. Own that shit. Get out in front of it. Laugh with those who are laughing. Mrs. Lee could take a lesson here. Good for Brock.
Brock is the best. He's so funny
