Matt Campbell to Penn State??

All these guesstimates of x number of alumni need to donate x number of dollars to sports and everything will be fine are way overestimating alumni engagement in sports. I have no idea, but if you take out "donations" required for season tickets to sporting events I wonder what percentage of alumni actually donate to sports. 5%? That's probably being wildly optimistic. I know we want to believe we can solve all our problems through grassroots donations but it's not realistic at all. Thats why coming up with creative ideas for revenue like CyTown are so important. Or someone could just win the lottery.
I think that the main reason he is looking is that he and the other major program coaches (FB,MBB,WBB) are not happy with the University's/AD NIL strategy. If Cambpell leaves for Penn State it is due to the administration not willing to fund NIL above the revenue share.
So then we get 5,600,000 Cyclone fans. Strength in numbers!
Any journalists? CW or JB with actually news? They pushed paying for premium but not sure there is anything on there that’s not on twitter - not on there so don’t know.
If only the 2,000,000,000 Cyclone fans out there would give a $1, we wouldn't be in this situation. Come on people, it's $1.
The way I see it, if you love ISU sports enough to make an account here, and you have the time to be wasting your time on here..... then you can use your best budget judgement to put something forward to make sure the place you love doesn't slide into obscurity
So is that a no on the kidney? I think you’re missing the point…I could easily find the money. I just won’t spend my money on paying college students to play a game. I love fishing. But just because I won’t buy a $500 Loomis rod doesn’t mean I don’t want to catch fish.
If every ISU fan has 1 or 2 babies, the odds that one of them becomes a billionaire ISU fan only increases.
I’m not offended by him considering this. He’s been here 10 years…it would be almost silly to not at least listen/consider it.
I believe Blum posted earlier that 10k people donated to we will. Think about that, on a typical saturday in jack trice, 5/6th of the people in that stadium contributed $0.
But this isn't about the middle class and doing the math on "if X people only gave Y dollars we'd be...."
Its about having a fan base with ridiculously large sums of money - people who have 9/10 figure net worths and wouldn't even blink at spending $5-10 million in a month. That's BYU, that's TTech, that's most Big10/SEC schools. Its like everyone has 10 or 20 or 50 Sukup families that are diehard fans.
FOUR guys at SMU each decided they were good for $60m and a few years later they're in the ACC.

Some of us have been donating longer than many members here have been alive
maybe this is all apart of the plan. CMC leaves for PSU and builds repoire with the players. Leaves PSU and comes back to ISU bringing in 5 star talent launching us to the next level!

he does have an agent now
I personally like the BPS models, I have 3 reels and 2 casting rods. I think I spent around $100-$150 on each and they are high quality and affordable. I think Daiwa makes them though and just slaps American logos on them.
That is only about 25% of the world’s population.
If the athletic department really focused their marketing efforts and found ways to capture more of the addressable market this problem goes away.
As I'm reading some of these texts...I can only think 'I have no issues spending someone else's hard earned money..."
