No Bowl Game — Iowa State Turns Down Bowl Bid



This whole thing is costing us a ton of money! Penn State only pays us $2 million. We have to pay ******* Washington State $4 million. Now 500k.

I bet Jamie cut a shrewed deal and is signing Rogers for $4 million.
 
I was thinking about how this would even work logistically.....assuming most of Matt's staff would be gone this week to Penn State. And Rogers doesn't have a staff yet (and I assume wouldn't step in to couch our bowl anyway).

Can't really coach a game without coaches in the booth, on the field, etc.

Stinks as the team was playing well and would have been great to play a quality opponent and get 9 wins.

I know the press release says players chose....I also will assume many of them logistically want to wrap up the semester and move along.
 
Kind of. It is a different situation.

I guess I was hoping that this guy could at least get his new team to consider playing a bowl game.
KSU hired a coach that is what 2 years removed from being at KSU.

He knows lots the players and yet?

Can you at least make an effort to be objective?

This was my thought. Who’s left to coach them?
 
While I understand the decision kind of sucks that we don't get to send off this squad and end the Campbell era with one more game

I know this probably sounds incredibly naive, but there appears to be absolutely no loyalty whatsoever to the school, community, football program as a whole, or each other. Man, this new day of college athletics is worse than I even imagined.
Yeah ....probably our first true as a fan base reminder on this era they are semi-pro athletes. Gone are the cliche "play for the name on the front of your jersey" and all that.
