Sports April 15th

Iowa will have to vacate four victories from the 2023 season for tampering with quarterback Cade McNamara before he entered the transfer portal. The NCAA said that coach Kirk Ferentz and assistant Jon Budmayr participated in 13 phone calls with McNamara and sent two text messages prior to him entering the portal in November 2022. McNamara left Michigan a few days later and transferred to Iowa. Both coaches were suspended for the 2024 season opener in a school-imposed penalty for the violations. McNamara went 4-1 with the Hawkeyes in 2023 before a knee injury. The NCAA ruled that McNamara was ineligible for those wins against Utah State, Iowa State, Western Michigan and Michigan State, which will now be vacated.
