I’m not the one acting like I know everything and it’s all negative. That’s you.
Like I said, keep true to your old handle here.

Can he? He's not an employee at ISU in an official capacity until March '26
Jesus. I was hoping I didn’t need to spell out the point of my little if 2.8M Cyclone fans gave $1 jokes, but here we are.
It is impractical to expect an NIL collective funded by a subset of people born in Iowa will keep pace with those funded by billionaires.
It is impractical to expect a Cyclone T. Boone Pickens to just materialize.
That said, the solution to this problem is right out in the open.
Just a couple days ago when Sitake was the leading candidate people were confident Campbell was safe as long as Marcus Freeman didn’t jump ship.
Do I need to spell this out?
Iowa State needs to grow its fanbase dramatically if it wants to compete. There are only so many Iowans. How do the Cyclones go global?
I know what you’re thinking, growing an international religion takes years and we don’t have that kind of time. You’re right. But maybe we don’t need to?
Let us not forgot that at one point a digital computer existed only in the domain of science fiction. Then Atanasoff and Berry came along and made it real.
Well, at one point Thetans and Xenu were merely science fiction. Then along came L. Ron Hubbard and well, maybe he didn’t make them real, but he made them quite lucrative.
The point is the partnership isn’t as far-fetched as you might believe.
Sure, Scientology doesn’t have the user base of a Catholicism or a Mormonism, but what it lacks in headcount it makes up for in deep-pocketed celebrities.
In the very least I think this warrants a sit down. Yormark seems like the kind of guy who could facilitate it.
Make it happen, JP!

Matt Campbell is a very private person and doesn’t leak anything. All this information is coming from Kraft or his office. IMHO.
But it doesn’t mean all that much, it’s just the peanut gallery betting on what will happen.
But a political election isn’t a good comparison for this. Because with political elections Kalshi can basically act like its own electorate. There can be issues with how representative it is, but it basically functions in the same way
A coaching search is completely different. It’s more like the papal election where you have a small group of people making a decision behind closed doors. And Kalshi (and other prediction markets) did not do well during the papal election.
The people you're looking for are the Saudi, Qataris, Emirati.
Really a strange way of hiring a coach by leaking information out everywhere. I’m sure Matt appreciates that lol
Uh oh tide turned slighty, CMC wanted no comms with boosters on game weeks or game days and PSU couldnt guarantee.
They might have issues operating legally in certain states, but that doesn't really impact whether or not the predictions are (largely) accurate. I'm not aware of anyone e.g. accusing them of having their finger on the scale in particular markets; it's just whether their bets can legally be considered futures derivatives. (I'm actually not on the side on Kalshi here; I think they're probably illegally skirting the law.)
Officially he's not an employee but I'm sure they're consulting with him.
