Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz and wide receivers coach Jon Budmayr will receive a one-game suspension for committing a recruiting violation when courting quarterback Cade McNamara before the transfer portal opened in 2022, a source briefed on the violation said.

The suspension is related to an NCAA investigation, but it wasn't immediately clear whether the sanction is being imposed by Iowa or the NCAA.

Iowa athletic director Beth Goetz declined to comment. Ferentz will address the media at a news conference at 1:30 p.m. CT on Thursday.

McNamara played his first three seasons at Michigan from 2020 to 2022, leading the Wolverines to the 2021 Big Ten championship but playing in only three games in 2022 after suffering a season-ending knee injury. He entered the transfer portal on Nov. 28 that year -- the day it opened -- and by Nov. 29 there was mutual interest between McNamara and the Hawkeyes, a team source told The Athletic. On Dec. 1, McNamara committed to Iowa.

Then, Budmayr was a special assistant to the head coach and as a former Wisconsin assistant had previously recruited McNamara. Their past relationship contributed to McNamara joining the program.

McNamara is back at Iowa for his second season and sixth in college football. He is battling former Northwestern quarterback Brendan Sullivan for the starting role.

The Hawkeyes open against Illinois State on Aug. 31 at Kinnick Stadium. Ferentz, 69, has guided Iowa's program since 1999 and is the nation's longest-tenured head coach. It's likely assistant defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Seth Wallace, who was elevated to assistant head coach last winter, will replace Ferentz on game day.

I need my fix, bought one for Frost’s first HC game against Colorado when I visited, that one was ceremoniously dispatched to exorcise the demons, need to start fresh…….!

Not necessarily because its Colorado but what would happen if any college team were able to pull this off with Saudi.

Antsy and bored for the season to start, so humor me! lol

I spend about $250 a month on fuel in my 10-year old Nissan Altima driving an hour highway miles to work and pleasure.

I was considering a 10-year old hybrid like a Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid and wondering if the batteries are toast by now or if anybody has thoughts?

I would save about $80 a month on fuel if I could get 40+ mpg, but don't want a bunch of headaches with Hybrid batteries and tech.

Thanks for any thoughts or experience with actual mpg.

Edit: This would not be a plug-in hybrid.

Thoughts on this list? Where will Dylan be after one full year? Iowa still sucks.

Good, as always

Sirius gave me a Pavlovian reaction

Out of the 68 Power 4 Conference teams, there are only 3 that have never won 10 games in a season. Without looking it up, can you name them? I know some of you may have heard this on 590 this morning.

Other golfers in front of him had made the same move as directed by cops on the scene and ole Barney Fyfe Gillis decided to try to stop his car by grabbing on the door and beating on his window with a flashlight. 🙄. I swear. I’m a big proponent of cops but damn. Somebody lost their cool and should have gotten a trip downtown but it wasn’t Scheffler.

Let's say you could add any four players from the Callahan, Pelini, Riley, or Frost years to make this year's team a true National Championship Contender, which four players would you add to improve this team? Would you take the four best players available or simply address some gaps on our current roster?

For me, I would add:
Ndamukong Suh
Lavonte David
Carl Nicks
Spencer Long

on the ACC Network (literally there was nothing else any good on the 400 other channels I have on DirecTV). They made the point that Clemson had been having problems with turnovers, only second nationally to NEBRASKA.

Just Damn!

Field Yates has Tommi Hill going with the last pick of the first round:

What is going on? Mobile is fine. Computer loads and gives an “offsides” error. Seems like there has been plenty of time to fix.

Some more good stuff from Rhule last night on the QBs, how Glenn Thomas has helped them grow and a "calm" Marcus Satterfield, who Rhule says will be the one on the headset with Raiola and the rest of the QBs:

Big recruiting tool and money goes to 1890. Do your thing Husker Nation. Serious money at 25 bucks a head if they can make those numbers. GBR!!
