James Butler is a former running back for the Iowa Hawkeyes. He most recently made waves in the XFL with the Houston Roughnecks.

James spent time in both the NFL and the CFL in between his time at Iowa and now and has an entire backstory of football and life before becoming a Hawkeye as well, highlighted by an impressive 3 years as part of the Nevada Wolfpack. Listen to James tell his story of always betting on yourself, learning how to be a team player on and off the field, and other trials and tribulations of his career.

What do the Iowa wrestlers think about their season ending? How does the corona virus shutting down the world affect a football program, athletes training for the next level, and other sports? Will the NCAA allow an extra year for seniors or at least go back and postpone sports temporarily? Alex Meyer makes his second appearance on the show to talk all things Corona and Hawkeye Sports. We had originally planned on recapping the B1G wrestling tourney and then previewing the NCAA wrestling nationals, however this Corona thing really took a turn, so we discuss it. We break down what it would be like as an athlete to have a season and potentially a career cut short due to such wild circumstances. This one got pretty fun.
