Giving kids money like this in college will lead to a lot more kids who had professional capabilities flaming out in college. They will now have all this money and no one to guide them. No sports agent will be around to give them advice. They will get lazy and waste their opportunities. It will also attract low life people hanging around them bleeding them dry for wine, women and song. This is impending disaster. Many of these kids will end up with no money and no college degree. That's a shame!

With Hunter transferring out, it should be a wake up call to us Cyclone fans that we need to do more to support ISU athletics monetarily. With that said, I'm debating on donating to either the Cyclone Club or Gridiron Club (yes I know neither of these has anything to do with NIL). Is one better than the other? Are there other clubs I'm unaware of that support ISU athletics?

My wife and I are going to be moving to New Jersey, and as a result, we are going to sell one of our cars. I looked online for the steps, and it looks like I just need to complete the information on the title as well as create and sign a Bill of Sale, which I found one online.

The question is what is the best way to get my car out there for people to see? Is there a good website that gets a lot of views for this kind of stuff?

Thanks in advance!

Let me just say that I’m glad that I’m a deep rooted fan of the sisters. After the news that hit MBB today it just made me angry and sick to my stomach.

With our program, we are slightly protected because there isn’t a huge career in pro WBB. The blue bloods already get the best players So there isn’t as much (but we are seeing the transfer portal exploding here too) impact of money leading to transfers.

The biggest aspect of our program is how a community, give back, be involved, do things the right way environment is fostered. I bet if you asked graduates of the WBB program they would attribute some of their personal success in life to this very thing. This is also why fans of the sisters attend games better than 90% of the rest of the country. These are our “girls.” We truly do care about them.

So, today especially I’m glad that my heart and time investment is with the women's program.

I really didn't think TH would leave......I was wrong........But I also didn't think TJ could accomplish what he accomplished this last year........
So, onward and upward. If TH's heart and soul isn't here at ISU, his body shouldn't be either.
I am excited to see what next year brings and will root my butt off for the players wearing the Cyclone uniforms.

HELL YEAH.

Will there be an opportunity for the average fan to contribute to an NIL fund for Iowa State players? If not, someone needs to get one going. Most of us aren’t millionaires or even close to that, but I’m sure we could get a large number of average joe fans to donate to an NIL fund. I hope this option is available. I would love to donate and, knowing our rabid fan base, I’m sure others would as well.

With swaths of guard minutes now open from Hunter's departure, I'm curious what the high end potential of our incoming freshman guards is? I know neither of them are likely to be Hunteresque top-40 talent, but from guys who've seen them play, do either have the chance to impact games on next year's team? Does Lipsey have freshman year Monte Morris type potential? I know they're totally different positions, but think of Brady Manek freshman year at OU; he was a .9303 247 composite rank, 113 in the country. King is .9289, 133 in the country. Could King have a Manek-like impact his freshman year? He seems to already have high-major body, explosiveness, and scoring potential. Or do those minutes likely get eaten by Williams and another transfer?

Just let the thoughts flow.

Looking at the currently registered guys, It looks like we're sending a few.
Nice to see some of our returning guys getting some top-level competition.
I may have missed some and it's always possible more will register in the next week+

65kg - Ian Parker
86kg - Marcus Coleman, Julien Broderson
97kg - Duncan Lee
125kg - Sam Schuyler

There is a great NIL business opportunity for someone in Ames, Des Moines, Ankeny, wherever.

Sign and promote ISU athlete's in all sports. Could involve an existing marketing or talent company or a new venture completely separate from those types.

Sign the athletes to exclusive contracts. Do merchandising, personal appearances, product endorsements, whatever, all through your company. The merchandising attempts I have seen so far for ISU athlete's have been pretty lame, IMHO. Whoever is designing these t-shirts, please start employing some creative, savvy, talented artists! Putting an unrecognizable image of a football player in uniform throwing a pass or making a running cut is boring as it can be! Nicknames, slogans, creative cheers, whatever are needed....not just a line drawing with a signature.

I don't know what the NCAA restrictions are on this, but I would think the ISU athletic department could offer some advice, and it may be worth their time and effort to give it. Also, organizations like the Aumini Association and the ISU Foundation may offer some advice on promotions or contacts.

Every non-blueblood school in any sport is going to find themselves in non-competitive situations rapidly if the do not figure some way to get a program, private or whatever, in place to provide NIL opportunities for their student-athletes. Otherwise, they will recruit an athlete for the first year...that athlete is better than expected that first year....and poof...he or she is gone the next year to the best NIL potential. Of course, if they realize the un-regulated mess they have created, the NCAA could fix things. Yeah, right.

Just a thought. I'm too old to do it, but the opportunity is there, I'm pretty sure.

Interesting read and that’s about it.
