Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark has singlehandedly scored more points in the NCAA postseason than the Iowa football team did in the entire 2022 season – Clark has put up 235 (with a game still left to play on the schedule) compared to Iowa's 230.
And Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz must be shaking in his boots right now. Get Clark on that sideline, since it honestly can't get much worse for the Iowa offense. At least she knows how to score, even if it's the wrong sport.
Iowa football may not have that in the budget, though, as the younger Ferentz gets a bonus if the team meets an average of 25 points per game. Of course, the Iowa defense and special teams unit help out on that front pretty often, but that statistic doesn't fit into Ferentz's contract. The son of the head coach gets paid no matter where the points come from.
Regarding the amendment to OC Brian Ferentz's contract:
An Iowa spokesperson tells @sinow the points per game benchmark includes “any points scored”
