Well there ya go. Jefferson was maybe enticed by a big offer from LSU while they were trying to pit guys against each other. This kid will play and neither him nor Jefferson are going just to sit on the bench.
Jefferson NOT gone.

Jefferson is from Las Vegas. He has been in Ames for less than a year. He has no other ties to this university or fan base. Put yourself in the shoes of that 21 year old kid. Damn right you are avoiding the cold winter and taking that money. That is life changing money. Make smart decisions and invest that money well and you are set for life.
Please dont go at the kid or his family on social media.

I thought long and hard about if I'd rather me have my money or Jefferson have my money, and I determined that I feel better if I have it.
It buys you the right to not complain about how and what happens with ISU NIL expenditures.
This is absolutely a legitimate option. If you don't like it or can't contribute, that is perfectly fine. It doesn't make you any less of an ISU fan, it just doesn't buy you the right to complain about how the money is used.
If you want to complain about NIL in general. Fire away. I HATE it AND I contribute. Presently, that seems to be the most pragmatic action to me.

I’m not sure why so many people believe this is a badge of honor.
I watched the Reds @ Brewers yesterday. It's kind of similar actually, as I love the Reds and watching them play, but I don't pay too much attention to the rest of the sport.
Because they are not paying players to pay for their basketball team and instead using the money for their family and kids to be able to play sports and go to school.
We should have a dedicated portal thread on this board and you have to enter your WE WILL code in as a password to be able to access discussion about any portal talk.
If you paying for your kids to play sports and go to school (college or private) then I’m guessing there is probably some discretionary income of $7 a week to give to WeWill if you wanted to. If you don’t want to then just be honest rather than saying you can’t afford it.
So now consider you have one year left until you retire. That bank comes in and offers you $3MM. I think you’re jumping.
Fun fact, we were only $7 away from keeping Jefferson.
So you’re judging people whom you don’t know and whose financial situation you know nothing about.
Anybody who went to ISU already gave 10s of thousands to make Cyclones a huge brand. That’s the only reason these players are making 200k-1 million instead of 50 k like some minor league player who has similar or better skills.
