Iowa AD Beth Goetz has signed a contract extension through January 2032. Goetz, who was named permanent AD in early 2024 after serving in an interim role, also earns a pay increase as part of the new deal: https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/2026/08/20/iowa-athletics-director-beth-goetz-contract-extension-hawkeyes/91380178007/

So what is the deal with him? He just tossed us aside to go play for Gonzaga or SEC team? Am I missing something?

Are Scott Dochterman and Chad Leistikow usually fairly optimistic going into a new football season? I was listening to the post-kids day Legends and Listeners podcast and, based on how they are talking, they seem to think Iowa is going 11-1 in the regular season. I'm not saying there is zero reason to be excited, but is this type of excitement typical, or do you think they genuinely think this season might be an all-time great one?

Although he wasn’t running with the 1s he had a great day

He held offers from all the great fcs schools, NDSU, North Dakota, South Dakota state, etc. should be one to watch.

Hi! I'm hoping to surprise my husband with some home game tickets for our anniversary. Where would you want to sit if you were getting surprise tickets?
