CMC did not honor his contract. That is what got us here. And now he is influencing a destruction of the program he built. CMC whole focus has been himself as he is leaving. He plans on poaching the program IMO. Iowa State is in the rear view mirror.
Hotter take:
He might not have made a BCS title game, but a Cyclone Cam Newton would have been ISU’s second Heisman runner-up.
We are finding out what some of us instinctively always knew, CMC is petty as sh*t because of his ego.
Because if there's even a small chance...that's what you say until you are CERTAIN otherwise. Let's not pretend we know what/how this is being talked about behind closed doors.
This thread exploded and I'm behind so apologies if already addressed...
...but if these players are getting paid now, how is opting out even an option to begin with?

Can't argue with this. The business world is tough sometimes. If you refuse to work / "play", good by. Turn in your "badge" and your accounts are all disabled.
Hit like but wish I could upvote this 1000 times. Mad at myself for buying into any of it.
I'm guessing yes....
With our future coaching staff guiding it and then the majority bolting while the AD feels out the DC to see if he's interested in being the WSU HC.
I read someplace that he had to replace 70!! players.
Edit. Google Gemini says:
Key Details on the Newcomers:
- Sheer Volume: Roughly 75 new faces joined the Cougars' roster for the 2025 season.
- Transfer Portal Impact: This influx was necessary to offset about 60 players departing through the transfer portal.
- Recruiting Success: Coach Rogers secured 28 new signees on early signing day, including top cornerback Toe Johnson.
- Source of Talent: New players came from various programs, with a significant number (16) transferring from South Dakota State.
The NFL is still great. DIII, D II, 1AA and NAIA are still great. College basketball seems to be doing fine. D1college football is what is being ruined. It's a joke and is being ran by a bunch of greedy sleezballs in the SEC, Big 10 and at ESPN.
You don’t know what actually happened, so maybe not assume CMC is the reason this situation occurred.
Who the f* wanted to go to Memphis again? That’s like being given a prison sentence. And I don’t get all the slobbering over Mouser, dude was a crappy OC, but a Campbell BFF. I’m ready to turn the page.
Well, they'll have to spend the fine that will be coming their way from the Big12 office.
It's the NCAA way.
Prior to NIL, about any blue blood with some pretty obvious corruption:
Southwest Minnesota Tech State if a coach gives a player a carbonated water from their fridge:
Other than leaving I don't know what Campbell has to do with us not going to a bowl, but take this as an opportunity to not get personally attached to whoever the coach happens to be.
Sorry if I was unclear. I wasn't talking about players opting out of a bowl game we were playing in. I was talking about players voting not to go to a bowl in the first place - which is my understanding of why we aren't going. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.
How do players who get paid to play football get to choose that they aren't going to play anymore and still get paid?
