27 pay periods

My former employer would just keep our paychecks the same for all 27 pay periods, which was a nice bonus that few people appreciated. My latest company has been sending out messages warning us that our paycheck amounts will go down because our salary is being split between 27 instead of 26 paychecks. How is your employer handling this?

Rocco spring practice ?

Anyone know the recovery time from a torn labrium surgery? Will Rocco be available for spring practice, whether it's at psu or ISU? If very limited, how do you think it affects his decision, stay and miss installation of a new offense, or transfer to psu to a somewhat similar system in a totally new environment?

Jesse Bobbit named new Iowa State Defensive Coordinator

Are fans more connected to a university than athletes are?

When a coaching change happens we see players transfer all the time. Everyone understands the surface explanation that athletes want to play for a specific coach.

But if you peel it back a layer, it exposes something interesting, that fans are actually far more connected to the university than the athletes are.

When a coach leaves for another job we don't follow him. Our loyalty is to the school and the place. the coach is temporary.

The relationship is different for the players. When the person who recruited them leaves the attachment often leaves with him. Most don't care at all about the school.

I think the difference in attachment is why coaching changes feel so destabilizing and frustrating. Iowa state is permanent. Almost everything else is not.
