## Resource

Kirk Ferentz, Iowa’s legendary coach since 1981, is rallying national attention for the state’s overlooked football powerhouse — not just his own program, but the entire Iowa college football ecosystem. He’s spotlighting how multiple elite programs, from Iowa and Iowa State to Grandview College and Northern Iowa, thrive in a state without pro teams, proving Iowa’s talent pool is deeper than most realize. With a big rivalry game looming, Ferentz’s passionate praise underscores a quiet revolution happening in the heart of the Midwest — one that deserves more recognition on the national stage.
