The longest tenured coach in college football will not be on the sidelines when the Iowa Hawkeyes take the field in their season-opener against Illinois State. Both head coach Kirk Ferentzand assistant Jon Budmayr have been told by the university that they have been suspended for one game due to an infraction that stemmed from quarterback Cade McNamara transferring to Iowa from Michigan three days after formally entering the transfer portal. The school did not release any details.

"I frequently tell our players to abide by the rules, and in this instance, I did not." Ferentz (who has been at Iowa since 1999) said in a statement issued Thursday. "In 26 years as a head coach at Iowa -- and more than four decades as a coach — this is my first potential Level II NCAA infraction. I made a mistake and would like to apologize to our players, University leadership, and our Hawkeye football fans. I know Coach Budmayr echoes those sentiments."

Both coaches will be eligible to return to the sidelines on September 7th against Iowa State.
