Iowa Hawkeyes will deal with suspension of coach Kirk Ferentz

On Thursday, 247Sports analyst David Eickholt revealed that coach Kirk Ferentz would be suspended for the Hawkeyes' season-opening game against the Illinois State Redbirds due to an NCAA investigation into recruitment violations.

"I can confirm that Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz and WR coach Jon Budmayr will be suspended for the season-opener against Illinois State due to a recruiting violation," Eickholt wrote.

The suspension will also impact Hawkeyes wide receivers coach Jon Budmayr, who will also be suspended for one game.

The investigation began due to quarterback Cade McNamara's recruitment from the Michigan Wolverines, where he played for former coach Jim Harbaugh in 2021, before entering the transfer portal.

McNamara apparently entered the portal on November 28 and joined the Hawkeyes on December 1. However, the parties reportedly reached an agreement as early as November 29, before the window opened.

Due to a pre-existing relationship between McNamara and coach Budmayr, who recruited him from high school for the Wisconsin Badgers, the deal between the parties was agreed upon much faster.

The report did not state whether coach Kirk Ferentz's suspension was handed down by the NCAA or whether it was a decision by the Hawkeyes to get in front of the punishment.

Despite the suspension, fans will hope for an improved offensive showing by coach Ferentz's team, which still reached the Big Ten championship game despite their offensive frailties.
