Locked On Hawkeyes - Daily Podcast On Iowa Hawkeyes Football & Basketball - ERA ENDS: Iowa Hawkeyes SWARM Collective Shuts Down—What Brad Heinrichs' Move Means for Iowa

Starting point is 00:00:01 The Swarm Collective is finished, and Iowa Athletics just entered a new era. NIL isn't disappearing. It's evolving. The schools that adapt the fastest will win, and Iowa's future depends on staying ahead. You are Locked-on Hawkeyes, your daily podcast on the Iowa Hawkeyes. Part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day. I'm Trent Condon, and this is the Lockdown Hawkeyes podcast, your daily Iowa Hawkeye podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by Fanduel.

Starting point is 00:00:37 The biggest stage in world soccer is here. Let there be goals on Fandual.com to get started now. Well, a big story brewing with Iowa baseball is they've got a commitment from Brett Harris where the top players in the country, a local kid that was on his been committed for four years. And then some incredibly sad things have happened on that front. Good news for the Hawkeyes on the baseball field. We'll talk about that a little bit later on. open practice yesterday for the Iowa men's basketball team.

Starting point is 00:01:07 Some thoughts and notes and nuggets coming out of that one, including maybe a surprise that could be a big part of the rotation coming up this season for Iowa hoops. But we begin today with the news that the Swarm Collective, that has been a part of our lives now for the better part of the last four or five years, it will cease operations going forward. And as we've known the swarm throughout the years, that is not going to be the way that we go about things in the NIL space.

Starting point is 00:01:32 So when this started, and Brad Heinrichs, who headed up the operation, a former University of Iowa golfer, a great love affair with the Hawkeyes and his alma mater and what he was able to do when nobody else was stepping up. These collectives were forming across the country. And we were hearing about the big numbers that were being thrown up. And very quickly, it felt like Iowa was being left behind. There was nobody out there that was stepping to the table. There were not some of the big money places out there that dedicate completely themselves to the athletic department. and because of that, Iowa was just kind of looking around. And luckily for Iowa and the University of Iowa Athletic Department,

Starting point is 00:02:09 Brad Heinrich stepped up and stepped up in a big way. Was it perfect? No. But none of these things are going to be. There was no blueprint. There was no map about how to go about this. We were completely navigating in different waters than anybody had dealt with before. College athletes getting paid for their name, image, and likeness, something that should have happened decades before.

Starting point is 00:02:30 It didn't. but when it got to a spot when it needed to happen, it wasn't an easy process. And the amount of hours of the time that was devoted to the swarm by Brad and his crew throughout the years needs to be commended. I know it was difficult. We've had Brad on this podcast before. He was on my radio show.

Starting point is 00:02:46 Talk to him a bunch of different times about that. And some of the hurdles that they had to overcome. Also, just our state and Hawkeye fans across the state and across the country of getting them to adapt and change along with it. We know we are in the state, of Iowa and aging state. And with that, there are people that don't believe that college athletes should be paid. But if you're not going to, you're not going to be able to compete and to be able to get the finances together, to get the NIL opportunities together for these athletes

Starting point is 00:03:17 to stay at the University of Iowa, to not depart, because there were plenty of places that could offer more. But Iowa at least was able to get a point where they could be sustainable, where they could be in good solid footing. Are they Ohio State? Are they Florida? Are they some of the big money schools that are out there? The Texas is the world? No, they're not that.

Starting point is 00:03:38 And they're never going to be those kind of programs. But when you're talking about the next tier, I was done a really good job. So this comes down from a couple of the press releases that were emailed over to me yesterday and I get you a couple of thoughts on that. First, this comes from the email from Brad Heinrichs and the Swarm Collective.

Starting point is 00:03:55 Recent changes in the NIL regulatory environment have fundamentally changed how organizations like ours can operate. New approval requirements have created significant delays, uncertainty, and limitations around student athlete compensation, making it increasingly difficult to deliver on the opportunities we set out to create. While we remain hopeful that the process would improve, it has become clear that we can no longer operate in a way that serves student athletes, our partners, and our supporters as we intended. This has been a change in something that we've seen. happen. Now, the most example that probably hits the most of us is our neighbors to the West

Starting point is 00:04:32 and Nebraska. And they've had a bunch of these NIL opportunities that have been held up. And they look at them. Are they legitimate? The questions that surround them, does the amount of money that's being paid to these student athletes match up with what kind of way that they're going to drive potential revenue for the business, the organization, those types of things? Those are the questions that are out there. And that creates this uncertainty that has been the case. That is a huge component to this of having to go through now this new clearinghouse, which is a great thing. I mean, instead of just turning this into simple pay for play, yes, you do want to have some kind of parameters.

Starting point is 00:05:06 But what we found with these parameters is there's been questions. A lot of Big Ten and SEC institutions don't believe that they're getting the ability to go through and push these things through. And because of that, that has evolved and changed. And because of that, it's become more difficult for a lot of these opportunities to actually get the money to the student athlete. I remember here in an interview with Brad Heinrichs, not too long ago, a couple months ago.

Starting point is 00:05:29 And he said he had guys that were getting ready to finish up their collegiate careers, athletes finish their careers, and he still wasn't able to pay because it was still going through this clearinghouse, still figuring out can these funds actually be used for this? And he's not going to leave the guys high and dry. So it just came out of their general funds. And that's the way that they work to make things right. The difficult nature of this. And college athletics as a whole, they don't know what they're doing.

Starting point is 00:05:53 I mean, trying to figure all this out at the time. And we talk a ton about the new college football playoff, going up now to 12 teams. What does 16, 24 look like? What does that mean going forward? And we talk about the expansion of the NCAA basketball tournament going up to 76 teams and all these different layers that are keeping added to college athletics. But when he come back to it, back to the actual athletes that are being on the field, doing the things and getting them an ability to make money on this adventure that we know is

Starting point is 00:06:24 billions and billions of dollars that are in this space. And this is what you have, this back and forth that continues to go on. And though the NCAA, their power has ceased in many different ways throughout the years. And we see the litigation that happens in seemingly every single time they go to court. The NCAA is losing every single time out with that one. This is where we are at this point. I'm just kind of putting this all together, figuring this all out, and it's turned into a mess. And it shouldn't come as a surprise because that's what the NCAA seems to do best,

Starting point is 00:06:53 is create a mess out of everything that they put their fingers on. But because of that, that's a part. Now, one thing that has also changed, and though the Swarm Collective was its own entity and basically the only NIL space that Iowa had, they had a separate one for wrestling. But that aside, it was just the Swarm Collective, is you had the second part of that.

Starting point is 00:07:11 And that was the creation from the athletic department of flight funds. And this was another arm of the opportunity. Now, what works with this, and I think when we look big picture at this, why things are going to potentially be better is instead of having two different entities that are, for the most part, fighting over the same money, trying to figure out with these businesses, with these organizations, trying to figure out what makes more sense. This money goes here.

Starting point is 00:07:37 This money goes to this athlete. This one goes back. Simplify it. And that's what this is going to do. The other component that is huge is the combination of what Iowa does on the athletic department side and creating the $21 million that goes in to as they fund their NN. IEL just from the university and the athletic department budget, but also their combination of working with Learfield.

Starting point is 00:08:00 We know Learfield from the radio broadcast. You hear them all the time, listening to the games with Gary Dolphin and Bobby Hanson and now on the football side of things with Pat Enger. You hear those with the basketball and football. And you hear Learfield. Well, Learfield has also developed with their wide range of athletic departments that they work with across the country. They have used their marketing arm to create this opportunity.

Starting point is 00:08:23 And this goes hand in hand. A couple more things I want to pass along with you. One more thing from Brad's release. Because of these challenges, we have made the difficult decision to close Swarm Inc. We have canceled all auto renewal membership payments both monthly and annually as of June 30th, 20206. As a final step, we will transfer all remaining funds to Iowa's flight funds so that every remaining dollar continues to support Iowa student athletes in the spirit in which it was originally given.

Starting point is 00:08:50 So your money, if you've already paid up your dues for the year, whatever it is as I have back in January. If that is the case, it is still going to be used. What was hoped for? Going to these student athletes and building things up. One more on this front. This comes from Beth Gets. We still need those individuals to help today's Hawkeye student athletes.

Starting point is 00:09:08 The incredible support of our flight funds receive this past year, highlights the opportunities in today's current environment. Our team continues to work hard, highlighting how any donor at any level has an impact on the success of our teams. We still need to donate. We still need to support. We're just going to do it in a different way. And if you're part of the Swarm Collective, yes, these flight funds, that is the next step that you're going to take to continue to make it happen.

Starting point is 00:09:33 You might not like it, but it is the reality. Need NIL funds in order to compete at the highest level of college athletics. We're going to talk about the highest level of college athletics on the other side. Ben McCollum's Iowa basketball squad a run to the elite eight a year ago. A lot of new faces. Your top three leading scores from a year ago have all. departed. I've got a glimpse of the basketball team coming up this season and potentially a star in the making. We'll talk about that as we continue. This is Locked-on Hawkeyes. Today's episode of

Starting point is 00:10:09 Lockdown Hawkeyes is brought to you by Fanduel. Well, here we go. Down to 8, the biggest stage in world soccer is here. Every match feels like it has the potential for a memorable moment. One goal can completely change the energy of a game, shift momentum, and alter the outcome in an instant. That's what makes tournament soccer so exciting from the opening whistle to the final kick. Now, Fandul is giving fans another reason to stay locked into every match with every goal pays. Bet on a match and get bonus bets for every goal scored in that match. More goals means more bonus bets. All you have to do is turn on your token. We saw the match on Monday night with the U.S. team. Did not go very well, but maybe you're jumping aboard with the Belgians. You want to jump

Starting point is 00:10:52 into that one. Defense getting a little bit tighter as we get deeper into this tournament. looking at the matchups, finding teams, maybe a little bit more aggressive offensively, and he can jump aboard with Fanduel. From the opening whistle to the final kick, let there be goals on Fandul. Visit Fandul.com to get started now. That's fanduel.com.

Starting point is 00:11:17 Trent, I'm back with you once again here on the Lockdown Hawkeyes podcast, your daily Iowa Hawkeye podcast. Thanks for being with us on the lockdown network, your team every day as we continue the conversation. Let's get into some basketball talk here. to talk about the hoops and the men's basketball team. So anybody that has been in every day or here,

Starting point is 00:11:36 listens to me every single day, you definitely know my love affair with Iowa men's basketball. It was my first love as it pertains to sport. It was the thing more than anything that generated the sports fan that I became and that I still live today is because of Iowa basketball. There was something special for me back in the 80s watching these teams. You do every Thursday night and usually Saturday, you're going to have an Iowa basketball game during the winter.

Starting point is 00:11:59 That was going to be something that was going to happen. what that meant statewide broadcast across the state. If you happen to be in the car, you'd be able to catch the game on the radio, just absolutely loved Iowa basketball. And it helped that they were really good at that time when I was formulating my Hawkeye fandom. But that aside, I love Iowa hoops. And the excitement now of feeling like you finally have the guy.

Starting point is 00:12:22 Now, we had different times of this. Of course, Dr. Tom early in his tenure, I know you old timers love talking about loot and just the great successes that he had. But in the here and now, with Ben McCollum, you have a coach that, regardless of what the roster looks like, regardless of what's coming back and what's coming in, you feel good that at minimum, that basement, that floor for the program is higher than maybe it's been in a couple of decades. That's what you're going to get with this squad. Now, I get it. It's just year number two. And a run in the NCAA tournament maybe does not take away from some of the frustrations, the trials and tribulations we saw at times a year ago.

Starting point is 00:12:59 It was three great wins in the NCAA tournament, but there were also frustrating losses out of Penn State. Definitely comes to mind as one of those in the Big Ten tournament. Just on and on and on, I get that. Still, the biggest point, Ben McCollum has raised the floor of Iowa basketball. You lose Bennett Sturtz, a first round NBA draft pick. You lose Elverro Fulgaris, the hero of the game against Florida and late against Nebraska in the Sweet 16. Those two guys have moved on. Tavion Banks, your second leading score has exhausted his eligibility.

Starting point is 00:13:31 Unless a court case overturns things, he's not going to be back for the team. And it doesn't seem likely that that is going to happen. You're replacing a ton, yet development. And the way that Ben McCullum builds this program up. And as we talked about a week or two ago, I posed a question last week, who's going to be the leading score for the Hawkeyes this season? And my answer was Tate Sage. Tate Sage, what we saw, the improvement last season.

Starting point is 00:13:56 He's got springiness. bounce, looked leaner over there during practice the other day, looked like there's going to be even more to him, shot the ball so well down the stretch. And he came up huge in the biggest moments a year ago. During the NCAA tournament, Tate Sage was not scared at the moment, was not scared about the bright lights. He was a guy that was ready to go, and that is continued. And watching through the different clips that were out there, watching a lot of the beat guys

Starting point is 00:14:23 and what they put out there, you definitely saw the Tate Sage looks like the man. and a guy that absolutely is going to be in contention at minimum of beating the lean score on this team and potentially becoming a big time star for the Hawkeyes now going forward. So you have that part. A couple other things. Another one that I feel like maybe I got right. And as we talked to Elliott Clough earlier this week, he had an interview a few weeks back with Bennett Sturts before the NBA draft.

Starting point is 00:14:48 And he was asked by Elliott to name is starting five for next season. And he came up with the same starting five as me. So I love that Bennett, probably listening to me on the podcast, or maybe not, but that aside, he had the same vibe because with the ability to play Manny out, Kim Manyahu at the four position, and then go with Andrew McKeever at the center position. It opens a lot of things up. Now, you're not going to be able to play that big all the time. As we saw for Maniow this past season, he's a 18 to 22 minute guy, something like that. That's probably the range. Are you going to have to have more shooters out there?

Starting point is 00:15:25 when you're playing both those guys together. I don't think there's any doubt about that. But from what we saw for Mann Yow in the high post, that screen up top, now coupled with McKeever, and as we've talked about in the past, so good in the pick and roll game of what he can do getting to the bucket. You have two guys that are very adept at that,

Starting point is 00:15:40 two guys that are pretty good passers for big guys also, and playing those guys and doing different situations. I'm excited, coupled with what you can do on the defense event. A rugged guy in Camanyahu, coupled with the 7-foot-3, the link, the shot blocking, the just ability for him to change shots with McKeever in the middle. That also throws in the mix, though. Why are you doing that?

Starting point is 00:16:01 You can play both of them about 20 minutes. You're good to go. Maybe it's 22 for McKeever, 18 for Maniow. It's because of the emergence of Trevor, Yuroch. And we've talked about Trevor a bunch here because he's a West Des Moines guy. I call out of Valley athletics in Central Iowa Sports. So I probably broadcast, I don't know, 30 of his games throughout his career at Valley.

Starting point is 00:16:19 And you see that offensive skill set that is incredibly immense. This is a guy that can shoot it from the out. outside, led Valley and assist his senior year, a guy that passes it well for a big guy. It's got to get quicker, but he's been putting in that work. And you can see more quickness to his game. That's going to help him on the defensive end of the floor, but also on the offensive end of the floor and what he can do. But that skill set set it back a couple months ago. Trevin Yorak looks different is what he said to me over at the Poe County Eye Club.

Starting point is 00:16:48 That's what you're getting out of him. And that is a component definitely to get excited about when you're talking about him and what he can be with this squad. So you got the big guys figured out. Now, here's a surprise. And this was the one guy who felt like we didn't have a great read on. And that's Ethan Harris, who comes in this year as a freshman, anytime you go out to the state of Washington and you beat the home big school,

Starting point is 00:17:11 the public school in Washington, along with Gonzaga, who's had just a little success for the last quarter century in basketball. When you beat those two programs for a guy, that opens your eyes a little bit more. And now we see this first report of what it goes in. And there's a part of it that kind of reminds me of Tate Sage a year ago when we got that first glimpse last summer at the squad. Some of these same things were kind of starting to pop up with Tate Sage. It's not that Ethan Harris is going to go out there and play 30 minutes a game.

Starting point is 00:17:39 That's not, I think, anything to take a look at. But really skilled with the basketball, good defender can fill it up from the outsides, got more athleticism, maybe than you think from them. There's a lot to be excited about with Ethan Harris. And they're so deep at this spot. And these rangy guys, the guys between 6'4 and 6'5 foot 9 that they can put out there, Jaden Coon, his athleticism definitely showed up. You can see that we knew him too.

Starting point is 00:18:04 Coming from the state of Iowa, watching him at Storm Lake, you could see those kind of things and how it's going to translate and see why this was a guy that it was very coveted when he made the decision to leave Creighton and eventually end up at Iowa after his commitment to Craven, never ended up in Omaha, but that aside. So both those guys, both those freshmen, trying to find minutes though on this team, a team that's going to be very, very deep. And the gap between players 1 and 14 or maybe even 1 in 11, something like that does not appear to be that big. I mean, that's going to be maybe the most difficult thing for Ben McCollum this year.

Starting point is 00:18:38 And is he going to play more guys than usual this season? Or is it going to be just finding your best seven guys going that way? There's going to be a lot of good players that aren't going to be getting minutes. and he'd get into that a part of it too. So a lot going on there. Let's see. What else do I have in my notes I wanted to get to? Oh, talked about athleticism with Jaden Coon.

Starting point is 00:18:57 Here's another one with the athleticism and is Tyree Coleman. Now, didn't shoot it incredibly well during the open practice, didn't fill it up from the outside. But still, this is a guy that shot over 40% from three as a freshman in the Missouri Valley Conference. If he can still shoot the ball well this year. Now, 36% are better from the three point line coupled with the athleticism. that quick first step. He is going to be a different type of lead guard than what you get with Kail Komes. Kale Komes, a little bit more reserved, more rugged, more physical to him.

Starting point is 00:19:28 He's really good, kind of absorbing that contact, good at the short jumper, he'll pulling up at eight feet after a little bump and going up that direction. That's more of his game. Where when you look at Tyree Coleman, it's the explosiveness. That's what you see out of his game is there is some juice to him when he's getting up there and he's pushing forward. will he push for a starter and lineup role? That's to be determined.

Starting point is 00:19:50 I go back to what I said when I made my first stab at it. I had your starter at the point guard position, Kail Combs, Tate Sage at the two, Cooper Kach has your three, your four, Cam Maniow, and then Andrew McKeever at the five. That's what I laid out there. I get it, got some pushback. We'll see how it plays out.

Starting point is 00:20:08 A lot of basketball, a lot of practice before we get into October when things really ramp up. And of course, November when the season begins. But plenty to be excited about. on the front of Iowa basketball. Get some other nuggets. We'll be passed along to you here later on this week. But we continue here, locked on Hawkeyes,

Starting point is 00:20:25 and just an absolutely incredible story. Brett Harris, young man from the east side of the state, I'm sure a lot of people know and know the Harris family. He had been committed to Old Miss. Baseball program that won a national championship just four years ago has been one of the powers, was back of the College World Series again this season. One of the powers of college baseball is Old Miss,

Starting point is 00:20:46 His older brother went there, won a national championship. He was going to do the same, had been committed for four years. And then Ole Miss rescinded his scholarship. Good news, though, on the Hawkeye front, we'll talk about that and just an absolutely devastating story and some of the ugly parts of college athletics when we continue. Stay right there. This is Lockdown Hawkeyes. Today's episode of Lockdown Hawkeyes is brought to you by Odu.

And in the end, it all worked out. Everything clicking together. Everything moving at the right time. It wasn't making reactionary moves. The organization, the Hawkeyes, had a vision, stuck to it.

And a young man that has gone through on top of it, a whole lot already in his young life. Here in the state of Iowa, we play summer baseball. High school baseball is played during the summertime.

Starting point is 00:23:24 We are the only state that does it that way. And I absolutely love it. I love the summertime out there at the ballpark and what it means. One final opportunity for these guys, even after they, after they've graduated high school to have that chance. And I think we have it right for baseball and with summer softball here at the high school level in the state of Iowa. And one of the names, certainly as myself covering high school sports throughout the years,

Starting point is 00:23:46 has got to know as the Harris family over at Western Dubuque. And from the older Harris that went on to Old Miss and played with the Rebels. What a national championship in 2022. was in the minor leagues. And his younger brother, Brett, Brett is just completing his senior year. And it will be wrapping up here in the coming weeks. However, that looks out, he's having an incredible senior season. He's been committed, though, since he was a freshman to Ole Miss.

Starting point is 00:24:09 That's where he was going to play collegially. He was going to follow it his brother's footsteps, go to the SEC, and it's hard to say no to an opportunity like that. As we know the power divide and the northern southern gap that there is in college baseball. Well, that all changed. And that all changed within the last. few days as Old Miss, told a young man that had been committed to them for four years, we did not have a scholarship for you.

Starting point is 00:24:36 Told a young man that has been battling brain cancer, that we do not have a scholarship. You talk about of all the awful, awful things in college athletics. There's not much lower than that. Regardless if you think that his skills have diminished, regardless of you think that there's a possibility he's going to have to leave the program and that was one of the things that Harris cited as a reason that Ole Miss was rescinding his scholarship because he might have to go back to mail, go back to one of the best hospitals in the world for treatment, so we're not going to have a scholarship for you.

Starting point is 00:25:10 Absolutely awful. Just absolutely awful. The good news for Hawkeye fans and potentially the good news for the Harris family is there's a spot for him in Iowa City. And Rick Heller found a spot for him, I found a scholarship for him. Now, he's a great talent. Easy to find great talent and find scholarship and find rooms for those guys. There's no doubt about it. But also being close to mail, being right there for the University of Iowa hospital. And on and on and on.

Starting point is 00:25:37 It's just, it's one of those things that you hope for the best, that it turns out incredibly well, that the radiation and everything that he has had to go through on the physical front is there. He can play the game that he loves. He had an opportunity finally after not being able to play football, sophomore in junior years, able to play a senior year on the football field. And now it's going to be dedicated back to baseball. And for a young man and talking to people that have gone through all kinds of ailments.

Starting point is 00:26:04 And as we know at the University of Iowa and the Children's Hospital, of getting throughout the course of that day just some kind of normalcy, something to look forward to. And for Brett Harris, that was baseball. And now he's going to get that chance in his home state, a place that's not going to turn their back on him. I think back as some of the things that we've seen in the past, the guys that have lost their careers on the football field because of injury.

Starting point is 00:26:28 Remember a story of Kirk Farrants turning their back? No. And that's one of the great things about being Hawkeyes. And as we come full circle to NIL and how that's changed, one thing that hasn't changed is Iowans. And the way that we do support and we're there. I hope he turns out to be a great baseball player for the Hawkeyes. If he doesn't, so be it.

Starting point is 00:26:50 That's okay. There's more to life than just between the lines. And it's great that the University of Iowa and Rick Heller and the rest of the crew jumped aboard with that. Dumminess of the SEC seeps through once again. It doesn't matter if it's football or baseball here. That things are different. As much as you want to put us all in the same box and the Big Ten of the SEC, it's all the same because of all the money, there is a difference. Being good people.

Starting point is 00:27:17 It doesn't matter what line of work, what you're doing, that's athletics outside of Africa. athletics, your job, your family, whatever it is, be good people. That's what we strive to do here. That's what I know a lot of you strive to do as well. Let's all be better together. Out of time for today.
