💙 GOOD NEWS: Iowa State star Audi Crooks quietly paid off her mother’s entire home mortgage using her season bonus. “My mom worked double shifts, skipped meals, and gave up everything so I could chase basketball… I’ve waited my whole life to do this for her,” Audi said as she placed the paid-off deed in her mother’s hands. Mrs. Crooks, overwhelmed and holding back tears, pulled her daughter into a long embrace and whispered five heartfelt words: “You’ve made me proud, baby.”
