Transfers and de-commits

[WhoISthis]

This transfer most likely isn't about NIL money. While the texas O-line deal is a big splash its a major outlier for a position group or for every member on a team. Most athletes from teams that have a wide ranging NIL program are receiving around 5-10K per year. Sure he could be jumping for that but to the best of my knowledge PSU (which is where people assume he is going) doesn't have something like that in place yet. Most likely the kid just always wanted to play and PSU and when he played great saw an opportunity to jump as ****** as that is.

Pay-to-play is coming, if the SEC has their way.

What the hell is happening

You've gotta be ****** kidding me.

Pay to play is explicitly banned under the NIL rules and Miami and BYU are being investigated for it. Most university's don't directly want to pay the players anyways, just let the boosters handle it.

It would be like any job offer. Money is certainly a big part of the equation, but it isn't everything. Coaches, teammates, family, friends, location, role on the team, playing time would all factor in if I were making that decision just like if I got a job offer with more money.

I usually agree with you, but a lot of people I know (including myself) are show me the money types and can leave everything at the door.

So I am reading more and more that Freyler was actually taking his snaps at that position by the TCU game? Is this true?

This would make sense. That likely wouldn’t sit well with Isheem. He probably wants to go where he can be assured a starting spot.

I thought Isheem was a stud for us, but maybe his performance dipped late. We were pretty bad against the pass late in the season.

I'm not that way, so I don't get it, but no doubt you're right.

Scheelhaase and Heacock will not be at ISU next year.

Want to do a charity bet they will be?

 

[WhoISthis]

Probably not, but I've seen people in situations where they crawl back to a place with much less to gain than a kid who may have no other opportunity to cash in.

This is going to be an ugly era for college football. Just kill the student athlete angle altogether and break off the top 30 into an NFL farm team league.

We're already there.

As you mentioned, ISU is not going to keep up with unchecked NIL. It absolutely hits on the weaknesses. Low population state, also without corporate to subsidize, weak booster culture from not hiring the corrects staffs last century and having success while success was cheap.


The best thing for Iowa St at this point may be NIL Armageddon. Make it so distasteful and foreign to CFB/MBB that either new rules come in to place to have some regulations and preservation of the old model, or that the elite split off, leaving a majority behind. A slow culling would be the worst case scenario.

I think we're accustom to conceding competing in football. But just wait until some **** basketball program is able to get recruits and players because they have some willing donor.

 

[Nelcyn]

Yes, that is where the NIL gets out of hand and schools are taking advantage of it. Do you have reading comprehension issues?

You have anger issues?

 

[CyCloned]

Freyler and Chambers probably have a lot to do with it.

Those guys look promising, but you still have to believe in yourself as a player, don't you? Can't believe Young was worried about starting, although against WVU and TTU he was usually the guy trying to catch up and make a play on the long plays.

Just laying the ground work for the break away.

And of course, it will be all boosters at first. Always best to keep this stuff off the books and away from public light.

Whatcha thinking?

Agree to disagree on the breakaway. Also almost all the NIL deals are reported.

I imagine Young wanted to be near his child and is gonna get paid at a big school.

If both leave I will donate $50 to a charity of your choice. If neither leave you donate $50 to Blank childrens hospital. If one leaves and the other stays, we each donate $25 to our charity of choice. Sound good?

 

[isu1738]

I was a little worried when the basketball team lost a few guys (Xavier, Hinson, Javan)
and now here we are. Undefeated and ranked #11.
Obviously a different situation, but I hope for a similar outcome where things work out and we move on in a big way.

You got yourself a deal!

 

[Cycl0nepower]

With Young, King, and Amos all leaving, I wonder if there was friction with Broomfield as their position coach?

Haven’t heard anything but great things about Broomfield

 

[isucyfan]

Can someone talk me off the ledge here...

This couldn't be because players and recruits know something about Campbell moving on, could it? Lots of silence from him.
