The 2024 college football season officially begins on Saturday in Week 0 as Georgia Tech and Florida State face off in Ireland.
However, some big news is coming regarding some Big Ten Conference programs. On Wednesday night, a report came out saying that Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz and an assistant have been suspended one game for recruiting violations, per Scott Dochterman of The Athletic (subscription required).
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz and wide receivers coach Jon Budmayr will receive a one-game suspension for committing a recruiting violation when courting quarterback Cade McNamara before the transfer portal opened in 2022, a source briefed on the violation said.
It will be worth tuning in on Thursday to see what Ferentz says about the suspension.
Nonetheless, he and assistant coach Jon Budmayr will miss the Week 1 contest against Illinois State at home.
