Before NIL and the changes to transfer rules, many, me included, thought was a terrible injustice that coaches could leave and players were stuck in a system and with a coach they didn’t choose. Now these players are disloyal?
I equally don't give a **** about Campbell or the players. I was over Campbell in a second after hearing the confirmation he was gone. I only care about one team and that's Iowa State. I only started following the NFL casually a couple years ago and I don't have a team, I cheer for the teams with a guy that has their name displayed on the screen with the college: Iowa State.
 
Just for the record you have no idea what he is or isn’t telling anyone.
The PSU leading rusher in their bowl game had yet to have a 1 on 1 with Campbell as of Saturday.

Other than the 15+- guys from ISU that he is taking to PSU, I'd be surprised if Campbell or his staff are giving ANY advice to former ISU players.

That's the job of their agent. In the end, money talks. And realistically there are 40+ P4 schools who are spending more than the Clones.
 
I keep seeing people say this, or “it’ll be fun when we start bringing guys in”.

I honestly don’t get it. Granted I don’t really follow football recruiting but I’m trending to casual fandom and it just seems all bad.

Id rather have what we had, with another year of experience.

But I used to be an NFL fan that liked the draft better than a random game.

I like the hope & optimism every once in a while I guess.

But if we're doing this again next year.....
 
Nope. I have no investment in Rogers yet other than he's on our team now and I hope he does well. If he leaves I won't root for him, either. You're either on our team or you're not.

Don't blame Campbell for leaving at all. He made the business decision, no doubt. I'll root against PSU every time I see them play from now on. You can disagree and that's fine, but it won't change my opinion.
I have always cheered against Penn St and all Big 10 schools so nothing will change
 
As much as I like CW it doesn’t outweigh my dislike for Hassel so I very seldom listen to Two Guys
Its funny, I dont mind Hassel that much. Of all the Hawks I have ever met or spent any time around he is about as mild as they come. He is most of the time very obviously making jokes and light trolling at most. And a lot of times does it mostly light heartedly and in good fun, it seems. That being said I have been around a lot of absolutely awful hawks over the years, so he seems pretty tame.

I know it is his schtick and for the most part I find him harmless. My issue is there is no counter to him, there is no ISU fan on there that will give it back to him and the hawk fans, equally.

CW etc are to PC when it comes to their dishing it back to him and the hawk fans. It is tough I am sure for CW because he is a business owner, and it is his job to try to stay impartial to not upset the fragile egos of the hawk fanbase. But it would be nice if there was someone on there that was willing to dish it right back at Hassel and Downs etc. to keep it at least even both ways.

How do I break it to my grandkids that we have eliminated their presents and gifts so I can fund NIL for Cyclone football players so they can afford new cars and six figure incomes while going to school? Because the most important thing is these players need more money.
No need to coddle them.

Tell them if they want to earn their grandparents’ love (and money) the first step is getting on scholarship, the second is getting real playing time.

Sorry grandkids, special teams don’t count.
 
Both are better than any of our starting LBs last year? Like Bacon and McLaughlin for example? Or Brezina?

If so... that would be great!! I trust you if you've looked at film. Both are kinda short, right? Both 6'1" I think, right?
You understand, other than orange, our best tackler/ defender was a 5'10/5'11" shark...
 
Maybe Jimmy will be the next Cignetti.
Then Jimmy needs another 15m or so in NIL. That’s the dirty little secret that few talk about. Yes, he brought a bunch of players with him, and he is strong in schematics. But they’ve spent heavily on Mendoza and others. Lot of financial support from that school. Hard to win at the level he is without the smack.

Follow the Vikings. It will provide you equal enjoyment….
