Last season Kaleb Johnson finished in the top 3 for the Doak Walker. He didn't do much in his first season in the NFL.

I don't know how you define "big time" but have they had a running back with as much NFL success as Shonn Greene since he was there?

My daughter lives in Wisconsin. She said ( if I remember the facts correctly) that Culver’s Food Chain was providing $1M to a Badger player and required 5 social media posts saying good things about Culver’s in exchange. I think they ruled that was not FMV.

LOL, so 6 posts?

Its not like these guys are doing anything difficult to earn hundreds of thousands. Even if they have to shoot a 30 sec commercial, or show up for a day to shake babies and kiss hands, its nothing too difficult to earn 6-7 figures.

I would really love to know what players like Manning actually had to do for their NIL. My guess it was not much compared to the Millions he got for NIL.

Because Rocco and Brock had pretty identical stats when you put them next to each other and Rocco led ISU to their best season in school history.

Eh... I think 2020 ISU would be something like -5.5 against 2024 ISU.

Does this settle some of the panicking now?

Or is he not good enough.

I think they start out slow, gotta a lot of new pieces to put together

Defensively have no doubt they will be really solid

But offensively gonna be a work in progress

I would be more worried about the defense at this point. Raynor behind the hogs Rogers is bringing in has magic written all over it.

I don't think we'll know the answer to that for another 8 months or so, sounds like a good young prospect though.

Covid season ISU? Not a chance

These deals like Manning's aren't about effort or hours worked. They're about visibility and reach. It's why Kim f**King Kardashian can get a million a post because she has literally has 5% of the world's population following her online.

For comparison, Rocco has less than 30k followers on IG. That is up several thousands since he made his announcement going to PSU. Arch has over 600k.

Agree, that 20 team would be -8.0 or so.

No homefield advantage though due to social distancing

I know it’s easy to pick on CMC right now, but c’mon. He put more Cyclones on the NFL than any other ISU coach.

Right. And from now every time Tyrese Halliburton's name is brought up on this site, Steve Prohm needs to be given props.

Is the grift for We Will now going to be "give so they can make the NFL"?

Who cares.

Must've started selling beer in the stadium...

I went to three ASU games this year, and considering the several times I had to step over vomit in the men's room next to the student section, I can verify that yes, ASU sells beer in the stadium.

Props for what? Bringing Tyrese here and then sitting him behind Nick Weiler Babb when it was clear that Tyrese was easily the best player on the team?

It looks like Colorado Buffaloes were thought to be 50 million in debt within the athletic department; however, it turns out that the debt is only 27 million.

Must have a hell of an accounting department at CU.

He played 33 MPG his freshman year. I'm not sure what else you'd want.

Tyrese was playing damn near 40 min a game by the meat of the season his freshman year. CF was up in arms back then because Wigginton was sitting behind Tyrese.

People have weird memories sometimes

 

[xr4ticlone]

Funny part was Tyrese was the lowest ranked recruit that year out of all those freshman.

I joked with people we got him for the oil money.

Tyler Fortenberry to Iowa State!

To be fair I think ASU may sell beer in classrooms.
