Amid its own budget woes, the University of Iowa's main campus will give $50 million to its athletics department via an internal loan, The Gazette reported. The loan will help compensate for some of the athletic department’s mounting COVID-19-related losses, which are expected to climb to at least $74 million. The department will repay the loan over the next 10 to 15 years. Outgoing university president Bruce Harreld also agreed to end an earlier deal that requires the athletics department to give the main campus $2 million each year.
