Iowa was rumored to spend over $1 million on NIl last season. They had one finalist and he lost. The Ferrari investment seems to be back firing already in their wrestling room. The coach is moving onto the hot seat and they are further away from Penn state than they were pre NIL. Michigan seems to be up next with the spending spree. But I don’t think they are getting past Penn state any time soon. So I think folks will start to wonder what all this spending is for. Is it worth $1 million a year to not even place in the top three? I’m not sure what justifies it all. I know several folks that have been good size NIL funders, mostly at Clemson and South Carolina. The luster of their “investment” doesn’t seem to last long. I think getting folks to continually fund investment with not a lot of correlation to success is going to wear thin. Wrestling has usually had one or two dominant schools at the top. That goes back to Iowa in the 80s. Until someone figures out how to get Sanderson out of the Penn state program it will be hard to beat them even with a lot of nil.
