Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

You'd think two seasons like this would be a no brainer to let the coach go but it took 3 very bad seasons after overall marginal success before pulling the plug on CPR.

Jamie stopped by the other night, as he had borrowed my snowblower and was returning it. We had a few shots and he confided in me that Steve-O is coming back. It seems a lot of the big money boosters are making a killing on this team, betting against the Cyclones. So he is keeping him for one more season.

But he said not to tell anyone. So don't say nothing.
My friend was reading over my shoulder, so now he knows.

Actually there aren’t. When you can pick up tickets for free or $5 on the secondary market there is no need to get season tickets.

I’m sorry.. I guess you just don’t know.

People may sell because they don’t want to go - due to us being bad... But they don’t want to lose their seats when we are good.

Look at how many $12,500 donors are in the upper deck. People want in.

If they use or sell the tickets is a different conversation.

That was the snapshot from three years ago. In 2019 you could purchase additional season tickets if you wanted to. If he keeps Prohm season ticket sales will below 9,000. Those fans can always renew when we get good again. It’s not the $12,500 and $5,000 donors that are going to stop renewing. Rather it’s the people who are in the upper level that won’t renew.

Again - not open to the general public. Season Tickets will sell out.

Keep up the good fight, Roch!

With all due respect, I’ve been dealing with ISU season tickets and secondary market tickets for the last two decades. In 2019 the general public had access to season tickets if they were going to donate at the required levels. I’m a Captains Level donor and had the option to go from 2-4 in 2019. 2020 masked the decline that was coming. But if you want to wager me $100 that Iowa State season tickets sell out in 2021 if no coaching change is made then I’m happy to do it. PM if your interested in that wager.

There are more than 4 in line to snatch your tickets.

And I’m saying MOST. 4 doesn’t cut “most”.

The secondary market is absolute trash for tickets since Monte graduated and unless those tickets are the cheap upper corners there absolutely isn’t a waiting list for them.

Last year I sold two for KU for 6.00 each on stubhub.

prohm is done as a head coach, he’s toxic, his reputation in basketball circles is awful as well, maybe as assistant at like a big south school or something

I’d betcha dinner at Whatcha Smokin that Prohm gets another head coaching job in the next few years. Guys like him always retread somewhere else at a smaller school where expectations aren’t so high.

Jamie doesn’t give a **** about the secondary market.

The secondary market can play a big role in people's choice to renew. Not everyone can make every game, and being able to offload some of those tickets to make the full package more reasonably priced is a selling point for some.

you are probably right the more I think about it, he could land at like a southland school...incarnate word or corpus Christie, something like that

I’m not sure I buy that story completely. If Floyd was the only one they wanted, why didn’t they make sure he would take it. Floyd turned us down and it took Gary Thompson to get him to change their mind.

Yeah he wanted to bass fish rather than ice fish. Gary left a long heartfelt message on the Floyd’s answering machine Beverly played for Tim when he was traveling.

gene had a hankering for Stu jackson too I know that he had some peoples backing in big ticket circles.
