And you're saying he and others show up and are indicating "it's always your fault."
ISU fans most likely don't donate as much as our peers, it's just the way it is. I'm not killing you or anyone else that doesn't donate.
I think blaming fans is not the way to go. Especially here. Everyone on this site has contributed in some way. Going to a game helps. Watching on tv helps. Listening on the radio helps. Even accidentally clicking on the pop-up ads when you are trying to click the x on CF helps.
I don't think it's fair to criticize other fans where they decide to use their money. There are certainly more important things in life than helping millionaires become larger millionaires.
Yeah, we want to be good, but trying to shame people into giving more of their money is probably not the way to go.
Enjoy what we have, give what you can, and we love everyone that is able to help in some way!
Someone help me, I'm having trouble reconciling the conventional wisdom that ISU fans are cheap with the objective fact that ISU fans have a reputation for strong attendance and traveling well. Seems like those two things would be at odds with each other!
I think ISU could survive this if MC does 2 things.
1. Leaves hands off ALL ISU players and recruits.
2. Helps to identify his replacement. Midwesterner. Loyal. Hard working . Good character.
As for money, he’s trading 5 lifetimes of income for 10 lifetimes of income. What does that extra money actually do for someone except sit in the bank?

Huh... Derek Jeter only gave out gift baskets with autographed baseballs. Kate definitely out to show him up!
If 280,000 Cyclone fans just gave $100 last year it would have matched Texas Tech’s entire football NIL budget.
I'm a 25 year season ticket holder and donor - and now tuition-payer - who's tired being told it's not enough.
Except you don't understand that NIL and program funding is 80% funded by rich donors. Look around and you'll see everyday Iowa state fans exceedingly pulling their weight. This is about not having the rich donors.
It's really that we are missing the rich whose wealth isn't tied up in low liquidity assets. I would also say ISU's alum are disproportionately farmers who fit this demographic.
It's Friday, you aren't supposed to do much work anyway
As a side topic, some of the best moments of this site's history have been people donating to St Baldricks for Chris to shave his head or to Blanks Hospital when Pollard got fined.
I'm not snidely posting this but if you have a certain charity you are helping, it never hurts posting on here what it is, in case some people are able to help.
They fly Allegiant/SW in the no upgrades seats or carpool with 12 people in a 2005 Suburban, they sleep 8 to a room and buy the cheapest scalped ticket possible and move down when no one is looking. (Been there, done that or have friends that did)
But they will also buy the town out of Busch Light.
Its usually the same group of people they do what you say above. Those fans also donate as well. At least a majority of them
Its not group A donates and group B travels to games.
It is what it is. And other schools have their financially conservative section of fanbases too. Its not just ISU
You should sell a kidney. If we could get more of you NIL lovers to sell body parts we could be competitive. Not saying you have to, but if you don’t you obviously don’t want to win
They may have simply overlooked him or figured he wouldn't be interested. But it's important to appreciate the effect of bookending the 4-game losing streak with wins before and after. Had we ended up 6-6 or even 7-5, I think Campbell would have been a less attractive candidate.
I could see CMC taking this job if PSU said the right things, but I question whether they can or will say the right things. If they walk in talking about winning championships, or cant explain the firing well...
