I don’t think this was scheduled..CMC media day with press is to be Friday?

Seems odd. Like if it’s a facility related thing why not just do it at the start on Friday?

I guess only thing that makes me not uneasy is “special announcement”.. makes it seem like something good is happening. Idk

Here are two other tweets I saw on the subject:



So yes, this was previously unscheduled. But it is Campbell discussing fall camp. When I first read the tweet in the OP I also wondered if it could be bad news. Who knows, but I doubt they tease a press conference with bad news by calling it a "presentation of a special announcement."

I'm going with this being the public announcement of the NEZ and student-athlete center plans.

Like Pollard, Gary Barta was against the idea for years, but he seemed to open the door to it recently with his comments at B1G media days. Which means unless the Regents say no, it's coming. And if it happens there, it's happening here.

The difference is Hok attendance is trending downwards....ours is not. That is why Barta is changing his tune IMO>

Announcing the final decision on the Barn Town Cyclone Fanatic beer, including an unveiling of the label design. CW will sit there like a proud father.

Just a guess but Eugene Sukup passed a couple of weeks ago. Could it be a donation/memorial from his estate? Seems. A bit early but could have been planned ahead.

For those worrying it's something negative, if it was I'd imagine ISU wouldve dropped that out in a quiet press release rather than a special announcement.

Its either Pollard providing more info on the performance center (renderings, lead donation, etc) or an announcement about a season ticket record or both.
