Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz and assistant Jon Budmayr will be suspended one game for a violation related to the recruitment of transfer quarterback Cade McNamara, it was announced Thursday.

Iowa said the Level II violation occurred in late 2022 surrounding improper communication with a player and his family prior to him entering the portal. McNamara is not named in the school's news release.

Ferentz is the nation's longest-tenured FBS coach, having led Iowa since the 1999 season.
