Not getting the least bit upset about Iowa's low portal activity. These players are in the portal for a reason. Some for a cash grab, and many because they aren't good enough to be the starter at their respective programs. I'm good with adding selective pieces for depth at a few positions, but you're not likely to find many, if any, all-American candidates in the portal. Players that are in the portal for the second and third time...I want no part of them. Iowa's strength is developing players, especially in the trenches and defensive backfield. I have faith in Lester to develop a qb once he finds the right skill set.
"why is he transferring?" C'mon. It's fishing for NIL offers. These players now have a successful season for a resume and can leverage it. The portal changed college football but NIL is the true demon to college football. Now players in good and successful places leave only to seek $$$$. It's disgusting.
Sounds to me that this season ending bowl bash is proving me right in one of my theories of the future of NCAA football. We won't have guys to route for on our teams, we will need a program to see where the player on our team transfered from and, oh by the way this is his only year left. There will be utter chaos on every team and if you don't have first or second roster spot nailed down, you might as well hit the portal and try to cash in on some NIL. I wonder how the NFL will like the new system. They will have to base their draft picks on this mess too. Will we start paying players by the starts they have so that we get our moneys worth out of them before they opt out on us.because there will be no loyalty allowed. This is a slow motion train wreck and we get to watch it happen. By the way I love Erica's passion but she is delusional on the recruitment of players. She needs to take off the fan hat when trying to figure the recruitment thing. It's all going to come down to what you do for me right away not one or two years down the road. I hate what is being done and I don't see a way to stop it. Used to love bowl season and the records of conferences against their foes. Now none of it means much since we don't play full teams with T portal and opt outs. Just kind of kills it all. I believe the bowls are going to be more and more meaningless. Better fix some rules or it will all be just like Cory says, the games are meaningless, so why watch them. That's my rant and I go back and forth on these things but it always seems to come back here.

From what I read the Pribula $1.5 mil is for 1 year.
They also cancelled on us in the 2020 bowl game
