Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says the NCAA blew it when it came to regulating Name, Image and Likeness. What started as a way for players to make some money has turned into a recruiting inducement and many players across the country are reportedly upset that promises are not being kept.

McCaffery says there was no way of combining N-I-L with the transfer portal and preventing it from becoming pay for play.

McCaffery says N-I-L was intended to give players opportunities in the business world.

The Hawkeyes return to action Saturday night against Southeast Missouri.
