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.
Drake looks to bounce back from its most lopsided loss in three years when the Bulldogs visit St. Louis University on Saturday. The Bulldogs are 8-2 after being ambushed at the outset in a 30-point loss at Richmond.
That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries who says they have worked on improving ball movement on offense.
DeVries felt coming into the season that the Bulldogs would be much better from three point range. So far, they are only connecting on 32 percent from behind the arc.
St. Louis is 7-4 and Saturday’s game will feature two outstanding point guards. Drake senior Roman Penn averages nearly 11 points per game while Billiken junior Yuri Collins averages more than 12 points and leads the country with more than 10 assists per game.
Drake senior guard Garrett Sturtz says the loss at Richmond was a wake up call.
Sturtz says St. Louis will be difficult to guard.
The Northwestern College football team is in Durham, North Carolina preparing for Saturday’s NAIA title game against Keiser of Florida. Northwestern quarterback Jalyn Gramstad says they are excited to play for the championship.
The third ranked Red Raiders are 12-1 and All-American receiver Cade Moser says as a COVID senior it has been a special season.
Linebacker Tanner Oelsen says this team is more confident than two years ago when Northwestern lost to Lindsey Wilson of Kentucky 45-13 in the championship game. The Red Raiders were without injured All-American quarterback Tyson Kooima in that game.
Oelsen says previous championship game experience is a plus.
Northwestern linebacker and Great Plains Conference defensive player of the year Parker Friar says it will be a tough matchup against the Keiser offensive line.
Northwestern will be the third straight Iowa team Keiser has played. The Seahawks beat top ranked and defending champion Morningside in the quarterfinals before ousting second ranked Grand View in the semis.
