I’m sure it’ll come on tonight after all the tears and eye swelling from crying have went down. CW loved CMC. He needs to grieve for sure.
Matt Campbell to Penn State??

I don't disagree with a lot of this...but I'll always view PSU and Baylor as basically evil super villains for what they did institutionally and how they faced absolutely zero institutional punishment and chose to not take any responsibility as an organization. If ISU had done the same I'd be pissed they chose to intentionally permanently connect my degree to a massive rape syndicate instead of just severely punishing the athletic department for a few years for what it did as an attempt to make some penance and take some responsibility like any moral person or organization would have to do.
It's possible for people to admit Campbell was more loyal to ISU than most would have been (he is/was), but continue to think Penn State can go to hell regardless of who the coach is. It's no different than I feel about the catholic church scandal really. Good and bad people can go in and out of the institution but I will never think the institution itself adequately addressed the evil it did.
Asking people to be happy for Penn State isn't the same as asking people to hope Fred does fine with the Bulls. Aspects of it are the same, but there's this one part that is VERY VERY different. I haven't even gotten into how the Big Ten has worked to destroy the Big 12 in a way the NBA has never actively worked to destroy college basketball.
It’s possible we don’t field a team for the bowl game.

I kinda feel like, if just @Trice had given more, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation.
I think Big 12 fans who even watch regular season Big Ten and SEC football games are that.
Most important question to ask is what color will the new coach make our uniforms? Pink? Brown? Purple?
James Franklin coached 8 more games at Penn State than ISU’s all-time longest tenured coach (Dan McCarney).
How is Campbell being disloyal?
As an ISU grad and being an alumni is with me for a lifetime. 100x more of an affinity than my graduate degree.
But for Campbell, ISU is a job. Most of us have moved on to take jobs that provide personal growth- whether it be bigger budget, hot industry or more financial security.
It's wrong minded to feel Campbell is being disloyal by job hopping. I'm sure Iowa State and Ames will always be a special place for his family.
For how young he is it's shocking CMC is one of the longest tenured coaches in FBS. 9-10 years is extremely out of the ordinary these days.
All I'm saying though is that it's rare.....I never would've thought Klieman would retire after this season and the changes in CFB have basically forced him into retirement and he was at K-State for 7 seasons
Financial security? Good grief. I have no empathy for millionaires.

Also, every time I refresh the site I keep getting this video banner of Campbell talking to the media after some ISU signing day. I need CF to take this down immediately because it's very triggering to be exposed to that repeatedly in my fragile state.
It’s very rare.
Our AD and Fans weren’t the reason.
It was one of the 2 or 3 jobs that CMC would leave for opened up.
