Maybe that's the real reason.
PSU's navy is pretty close to black. I'm sure Campbell would push for a monochrome uni- pants & jersey.
Matt Campbell to Penn State??

With this move, he also has the ability to reward the coaches he brings with him for their loyalty. It's not always about CMC.
That being said, I think he should take his $10M form PSU, keep half and donate $5M per back to We WIll!
Mac might be a choice for a stopgap hire. Seems like he's in Ames for half the games anyway.
Did you read what I said?
I said it would not prevent them from taking the coach, but would at least give us enough money to go out and find someone new. Hell maybe even be able to afford the going rate for a good coach.
Amazing how money cleanses all sins. Takes some serious mental contortions to block out the entire Sandusky affair.
Mac hasn't coached in 10 years. No way could he navigate today's NIL driven college game.
There is financial security and then there is FU money, Campbell will be in the later group. This sucks for ISU, but I am not going to blame any coach for taking a better job with more resources, its why they get into coaching in the first place, to get to a school that has all the resources and advantages that you need to win a championship. Football is not like basketball that if you get a few great players all at the same time you can win it all, in football it takes of roster of great players, and there are only a handful of schools that can do that, Penn State is one of those schools.
I'm in Columbia, MO. Drinkwitz just got a $10 million per year new contract in part because supposedly Penn State was interested in him.
I think he and his agent floated that rumor to leverage more money from Missouri. He was 4-4 in the SEC this season. 26-24 for his career. Never got Missouri to the conference championship game. Unlikely Penn State wanted Drinkwitz.
Campbell on the other hand given what he has accomplished I believe Penn State is interested but he had better win. That fan base isn't as forgiving as Ames.

Who said he's making the move mainly because of money? A lot of people change jobs because they are looking for a new challenge. And if it pays more, bonus!
I've never told an employer to pay me less than they are willing to. So if Penn State is offering him the big bucks, he should take it.
And remember, Campbell has always been about his assistants getting paid as well.
I will always blame rich people for wanting to accumulate more money.
No one is likely still there that had anything to do with that. The portion of the fan base that still idolized JoPa on the other hand.
So when is this going to be officially official? Like when does the actual Penn State account tweet out their gross "we've got our guy" tweet? Not sure if I should be drinking now or wait.
Fifth choice at Pedophile State. That just doesn't seem Campbellesque.
This had nothing to do with money for him it's money for players. We're poor as fck and will only get poorer. The gap between the haves and have nots is only getting larger. We don't have oil money or the Mormon religion behind us to fill the gaps. Unless the revenue dispersement changes nation wide then we're quite ******.
I see a lot of people saying he had better win, what is the worst that could happen? He goes to Penn State makes $10 million a year on a five year contract and then if he is fired, they all land on their feet and take another P4 job. At worst he becomes a high paid asst. coach for a year or two before he gets another opportunity. The question is Campbell the type of coach that can be successful at a school like Penn State, worse coaches have national titles at other schools, hell look at LSU and Auburn.
