Also diminishes all the comments players have made in the past about how much they appreciate the fans.
No Bowl Game — Iowa State Turns Down Bowl Bid
- Thread starter CoachHines3
- Start date
I want to believe it was the money available for NIL and asst. coaches more than for Campbell himself. When you reach above a certain point, the money becomes less important for the coach, its value is replaced by things ISU could never afford. Recruiting ability, unlimited funds and other items.
If we want me make the necessary changes in college sports, you need to stop giving money and stop watching. Won't be renewing my season tickets.
True but for me it would be a chance for the new staff and remaining players to interact before the transfer portal opens. Good for both patties IMO.
I know this a part of broader problems in CFB but this cannot bode well for invites for us in future years. What a sh*t show.
I certainly am not drinking the Pollard koolaid. Pollard needs to change his stance on how modern college athletics are and be less of a control freak, but it definitely is not fair to blame him for the players deciding they'd rather not see our third and fourth stringers get absolutely embarrassed on national television to an average Big Ten team.
I mean I think Pollard comes off as a douchey nerd most of the time, but he's good at his job. If you want to roll the dice and try to find someone better I'm pretty sure there are a lot worse ADs out there than Pollard.
KSU is in a different situation as us. Klein may be an upgrade or same level as Klieman and many of the players are ones recruited by Klein. Plus, Klieman is retiring so would assume he is available to coach the team unlike CMC and some of his assistants. Geez.
Can we please fire JP now? Was always a supporter, but all these reports about NIL, and money going to the genral fund and Cytown cant all be incorrect. He seems out of touch at this point.
Since we qualified for a Bowl can the new staff still hold practices? IIRC before we had enough bowls all teams that qualified could practice.
Who cares. I used to love bowl season and could never understand the people (mostly talking heads) that complained about too many bowls. But I hated it when stars sat out as not to risk injury before the draft—gotta protect that future income. Now? Now we freaking pay the players and they STILL sit out bowls. Yet another reason I will never give one nickel to NIL. Put it in their NIL deal—you take money and you play—if you sit out you pay it back. Can you imagine going into work tomorrow and telling your boss you’re sitting out the last few weeks of work because you have an opportunity to get more money at another job? And still get paid? It’s all a BS house of cards that needs to fall down.

KSU did, even though they had a more orderly transition.
PSU is in a different boat as they had an interim coach who isn’t starting a new job that led them for the last half of the season.
I really wonder who the leaders were in the locker room. This seems odd. You can play in a bowl game and still transfer.
If you just wanted to play football this would not happen.
If the transfer portal is 12/10-12/25, how can you play in a bowl and still transfer?!?
