The SWARM No Longer? w/Brad Heinrichs | WUW 699
3w ago01:07:24Tap to summarizeOn this episode of the podcast presented by FanDuel, Brad Heinrichs explains that The Swarm collective is shutting down because NIL rules changed last July, requiring deals over $600 to go through the NIL Go clearinghouse, creating long approval delays, reduced payouts, and eligibility risk if athletes are paid before approval. He outlines how Iowa’s $21M rev-share cap works, why above-the-cap money may increasingly flow through marketing arms like Learfield, and how Iowa’s Flight Funds differs by supporting under-the-cap payments with tax-deductible donations. The group discusses how individual NIL can still happen, with publicly traded companies like Apple bypassing NIL Go, and touches on Iowa’s quarterback battle and early betting lines, while reflecting on Swarm’s workload, recruiting pressures, and proposed fixes like multi-year player contracts.

Jun 1501:01:40Tap to summarizeOn this episode of the podcast, we break down a rough 10-day illness and a frightening overnight breathing episode that nearly led to an ER visit. The show shifts to sports news, including Zach Johnson winning the Principal Charity Classic and a discussion of the rarity of golf’s Grand Slam. They briefly talk about the Knicks’ title drought, fan unrest, a Villanova-to-Knicks storyline, and World Cup chatter sparked by visitors reacting to Buc-ee’s and other American staples. The hosts preview FanDuel lines for Iowa football, debating big spreads vs Northern Illinois and Iowa State, roster inexperience, defensive questions, and a reportedly 50/50 QB battle. They then unpack the Brendan Sorsby/Texas Tech sports-betting controversy, contrasting it with Iowa/Iowa State gambling punishments and arguing college football’s rules are in a bad place, before closing with Iowa players doing paintball in Kinnick.
