No Bowl Game — Iowa State Turns Down Bowl Bid
- Thread starter CoachHines3
- Start date
Question - I saw in a different thread the players walked out of the meeting in which Jimmy Rogers was announced as the new coach. Is this a player boycott?
The "official" reason was not enough healthy players to safely practice or play. Did most of the players quit? If so does that void their NIL money?

Okay. Why aren't we going to a bowl game? Did the quit? If so does that void their NIL deal? I'd pull every NIL deal for a player that voted against a bowl game.
This is asinine.
I assume when this decision was made there was no input from the people at Busch Light.
Yep. It is a foreseeable consequence of his actions. Or you could argue his buyout was set too low--it should have been set high enough to cover potential anticipated expenses of his departure.
Over 100 players in the sidelines for home games every Saturday and now all of a sudden all of them a injured?
Weird how 9 days ago we were able to field a full team and even win a game. Oklahoma State lost their coach 6 weeks ago and were still going.
Iowa State is upset their coach left so they quit on the University and the fans. It's as simple as that. How are any of these players going to handle loss if they just quit?
Welcome to the real world, so if my boss that I really like and hired me decides to get a new job I should just immediately quit too?

Yes, I'm sure in the history of workforce this has happened a few times. Must be nice to have the financial means to do that then, the rest of us still have bills coming every month.
Per our AI Overview Overlords at Google, 40% of FBS players in the portal do not find a new home. Not sure how many of that 40% end up staying at old school.
The fact that Campbell will recruit some may skew that number in this case. But the ones that don't end up at PSU may want to be careful how they interact with the new staff. Finding a new home may not be as easy as they think.
Like everything else that has happened in the past 5 days it will probably not be as bad as it seems on the surface.
I picture Ralphy's mom in there slapping all of the players' hands away from the leg.
So what's our net loss $$$$?
We lose $500k due to fine.
We save on travel expenses.
We lose bowl payout.
What are the estimated $$$$ loss?
Sorry if this has been covered.
Depending on what bowl, it's probably a wash. The lower tier bowls, schools usually lose some money and the conference pays it back.
The money isn't as important as fan engagement, imo. I was hoping for AZ as a destination as I have friends there I haven't seen in a while and was definitely going to go. I probably would have went anywhere other than Memphis though. I think the real loss here is fan engagement. As others have said, we are constantly asked to give more and more and then they take one of the perks of those donations away.
I'm not blaming any one person in any of this, it's truly a top to bottom mess, but these past few days have really left a sour taste in my mouth about college football.
If we’re only going to say the CFP matters, then sure…but then maybe our players should bail once we get to 3 losses?
Matt wasn't their boss......he was their coach. Don't you think they might be a little miffed how easy it was for this coach, even for just a moment not practice what he preached? Unless I'm wrong the man just signed an extension.
And college football thanks to NIL has become the "real world". Were we not told time and time again by those pushing NIL on this website that players should be able to change their mind on a moment's notice just like coaches?
Be careful what you wish for:
XXXOOO
Matt Campbell
As for how the players handle losing...............well hopefully they don't learn from game threads on this site as an example.
Glad to see Iowa State’s roster is getting all those extra practices. That’ll pay off for the Cyclones next year.
