Iowa continues to damage a storied brand

Money and being the bluest of blue bloods will always save them some but .. they are losing the track record of developing guys, they still get great recruits but I think they are outbidding other schools and likely overpaying. Then recruiting over blue chippers or good guys after short or almost no opportunity. Money, tremendous history, and world class facilities will make up some for poor chemistry but at some point they might implode. Maybe Bo (I'm sure VTs package was significant) so I'm not foolish to think we aren't in the game but it seems VT gives a couple of years before you are challenged or recruited over and team cohesion is at the forefront. Plenty of opportunities given before a decision to switch or try to upgrade and the needs of the team, individual choices, all relevant in the process.
