The NCAA announced on April 14, 2026, that the Iowa Hawkeyes must vacate four 2023 football wins due to recruiting tampering violations involving quarterback Cade McNamara. The violations, which occurred in late 2022, involved impermissible contact by head coach Kirk Ferentz and assistant Jon Budmayr before McNamara officially entered the transfer portal.
The four wins to be vacated from the 2023 season are against Utah State, Iowa State, Western Michigan, and Michigan State.

Michigan to big of fish to fry. Iowa is irrelevant so this was an easy call. Surprised anyone cared what Iowa did or does to get their 7-8 wins each season
In all honesty if the NCAA wants to stop being a laughing stock then they have a lot more than Iowa to worry about with tampering. I’m quite sure almost every from the major conferences tamper. The NCAA needs to stop picking and choosing when to enforce rules or how to enforce rules…
I think Tampering should be punished, but only if it’s enforced evenly with all teams.

They're going to smack Iowa for a recruiting violation?
Why WOULDN'T Iowa tamper? They probably watched Harbaugh tamper with everything under the sun and thought "damn, there's no actual, tangible penalty for that. Therefore, if we're not cheating, we're not keeping up".
Everything about the NCAA just sucks.
When they vacate a season or two from Michigan, and bar them from a postseason, they'll be taken seriously.

Who cares? Everyone knows who won those games. Vacating wins is the most empty gesture in the history of "punishment." If Rhule could be so lucky as to commit violations that would result in 10 wins next year that would subsequently be vacated years later - GREAT, sign us up!
NCAA is a big joke, If anything they should have punish Michigan for their scandal and Vacated wins when they cheated winning their national title.
Weren’t they also tampering with that 5 star OL from Alabama a few years back?
Iowa should just tell the NCAA ‘how about no’ at this point until all schools are held accountable.

I dislike Iowa fans- but admire their coaches and team results.
However what a joke the NCAA is picking on Iowa-, its like littering for them. When LSU and Mississippi are committing mass murder in comparison. The NCAA leaves the SEC and blue bloods alone for the most part.

I was just in the bathroom at Walmart. Smelled like Iowa. You know. Like the whole state.
As much as I hate Iowa football, this is total b$llshit. There is so much tampering going on it is laughable.
This is like your home burning to the ground and the fire department (NCAA) has all their hoses over there extinguishing your dog house. Their eyes are ALWAYS on the wrong thing.
Admiring 8 win seasons and not titles? Lame
Anyway...the NCAA is not the joke in this instance. iowa is the joke. They ratted on themselves. Those other schools are smart enough to know that the NCAA has no power if you don't tell them anything.
It is enforced evenly. One word: evidence. The enforcement staff has to establish actual evidence that tampering occurred. Once proof is established, the case can be taken to the Infraction Committee to mete out penalties.
This type of case has nothing to do with Michigan or any other situation that doesn't involve players playing while ineligible. Vacation ONLY occurs when a student-athlete competes while ineligible. There was no ineligible participation in the Michigan case (contrast it with Reggie Bush/USC and Notre Dame's academic fraud case in which players participated after some slut did their homework). Once Iowa committed a rules violation in the recruitment of McNamara, the violation rendered him ineligible to play at Iowa (and only at Iowa). Therefore, any games he played in after being rendered ineligible and before his eligibility was restored have to be vacated.
Vacation is not an empty penalty. I worked for many years in college athletics. Coaches have huge egos. You take away wins based on violations they committed and they go crazy. Many vacation cases are appealed. If vacation was an empty penalty, there wouldn't be appeals.
Did you happen to ever guest lecture at any B1G institutions? I sat in on one a few years ago, and this take brought up the memory of listening to him
I completely agree with the eligibility issues you’re talking about, however Michigan, and pretty much every other school has ineligible players due to tampering. The biggest issue with anyone of us like you said with the evidence… but you and anyone else who would believe that tampering isn’t going on with almost every school is just blatantly ignoring the obvious and you’re part of that problem… head coaches at many schools have came out and complained about schools tampering with their players, players coming out saying schools contacted them, yet you never see the schools who are constantly competing receiver any kind of sanctions, even if it is vacating wins. The NCAA has turned a blind eye to cheating for a lot schools now for years. It is a corrupt governing agency that serves absolutely no purpose any more since it refuses to govern evenly.
