Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

This week on the Fight for Iowa Podcast, Gary Dolphin highlights a memorable finish to the Hawkeyes' track and field season at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon. Iowa qualified in nine events and brought home multiple All-America performances, led by junior thrower Ryan Johnson, who earned First Team All-America honors for the second consecutive year with a third-place finish in the hammer throw after capturing the NCAA indoor weight throw title earlier this season.

Johnson joins the podcast to discuss his championship season, the family atmosphere within the program, and the impact of Head Coach Joey Woody and Associate Head Coach Ray Robinson on his development.

Dolph also recaps historic performances from Iowa's men's and women's 4x400-meter relay teams. The women's quartet of Alivia Williams, Damaris Mutunga, Princess Uche and Chioma Nwachukwu shattered the school record on their way to a fifth-place All-America finish, while the men's team of David Akhalu, Zidane Brown, Tyrese Miller and Landon Fontenot raced from the 19th seed to a remarkable fifth-place finish with a season-best time.

What has been the challenges and how have they dealt with the House settlement spending and the over the top spending that goes beyond the cap. How have they helped student-athletes with financial management?

BIG 10 SQUAD: The Big 10 is BOYCOTTING Texas Tech | How this affects Iowa

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Big Ten powers rally against Texas Tech over Brendan Sorsby’s controversial eligibility fight. As the Red Raiders attempt to play Sorsby despite NCAA regulations, Big Ten schools refuse all non-conference competition, igniting a heated debate about integrity, NIL chaos, and the role of judges in college football. Is this a Texas Tech scandal, an NCAA crisis, or a sign the sport is spinning out of control?

The Locked On Big Ten Squad breaks down why Sorsby’s 9,000 betting violations set off a conference-wide backlash, if conferences—not the NCAA—hold the real power, and how coaches like Joey McGuire are stoking national outrage. Can streamlining rules, stricter enforcement, or a new governing body save the sport? Plus, get bold predictions as FanDuel sets Minnesota’s win total at 6.5—will the Golden Gophers beat expectations this season?

TRANSFORMATION? Iowa Hawkeyes Target Game-Changing Carver Hawkeye Arena UPGRADES and Fan Experience

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 20:22:32 GMT

Carver-Hawkeye Arena is primed for a transformative renovation, aiming to elevate Iowa Hawkeyes basketball through enhanced fan experiences, modern amenities, and new premium seating. Could these upgrades finally give Iowa the recruiting and game-day boost it needs to compete at the highest level? Trent Condon unpacks the proposed $50–$70 million upgrades, revealing how private suites, club seating, and improved accessibility could shape the arena’s future and potentially shrink overall capacity for a more intimate, high-revenue environment.

Tim Dwight and Travis Gorsh join the show to spotlight the TNT Football Camp, a free opportunity for Iowa youth to develop skills and passion for football. Dwight shares insight on multi-sport athleticism, player development, and the unique mindset required for elite special teams play. The episode explores how former Hawkeyes—like Kaden Wetjen—excel in the return game and the broader impact of giving back to Iowa’s next generation of athletes.
