I mean I know we Loyal Sons can really throw them back but I don't think there's $30 million in profits sitting out there in Jack trice on game days.

Coach who was here for 10 years, got us to one conference championship, and was blown out of the water.
We can do better. Have some self-respect, folks.
More information that links to Campbell trying to taint the well on his way out.
I always love the 'drunken idiots' thing as if 1) it isn't already happening and 2) every single study shows that alcohol related incidents GO DOWN when you serve in stadium.
Jamie has asked enough of the fan base to give more and more and more that it's time to shift some of that burden to people who can voluntarily choose to spend their money that way rather than strong arming the entire fan base to pony up more to get access.
Understandable, but places with alcohol sales in the stadium tend to see a decrease in arrests and alcohol-related incidents. You see fewer people “loading up” before going in knowing they can purchase in-stadium.
Now, if ISU does go this route I’d support keeping a few sections designated as alcohol-free “family” sections for JCC kids and their parents.
The Impact of Alcohol Sales in A College Football Stadium on Healthcare Utilization - PMC
In 2021, a large Midwestern university began selling alcohol to spectators within the football stadium for the first time. The stadium routinely hosts >65,000 spectators, and drinking alcohol is highly prevalent at pre-game tailgating events. Our ...

It’s obvious not the answer in and of itself, but given our position you’d think you leave no stone uncovered.
There are fair points against doing it. I just don’t know if we’re practically in a situation where we can say “eh, it’s only a half a million in revenue”.
Seems like we need to find about a dozen such half a million dollar opportunities
First some we’re walk ons I believe so the number is 105 players on the roster (we do 85 scholly/20 walk ons). Then throw in about 7-10 more since we did t have to boot the players over the 105 cap already here when they reduced roster size. So start with 112 or so and take off grads and transfers out, add the signed recruits and that tells you how many open spots we have.
Even the playoff teams have players who were lower level guys.
This is why ****** teams like Northwestern destroy G5 opponents like Central Michigan 34-7. Unfortunately every school serves as the recruiting ground for every other school in the pecking order.
If we use our 14M wisely year to year we’ll be successful. Roster construction and distribution of player salaries will be really interesting.
Well it solves most of my problems so..... abracadabra!
At least we beat Pedo State so far in one thing.
And who burnt the roster to the ground on the way out the door. Whatever got built over the last 10 years, including his credibility, is gone.
Every Cyclone knows that except for a brief period at the beginning of this century the conference tournament determines the true champion.
Jokes aside, bid stealing via conference tournament runs is one of the exciting quirks of the NCAA tournament.
It actually made me root for Missouri back in the early ‘90s when they won the Big 8 tournament as like a 7 or 8 seed.
You guys are missing the real potential money maker.
Prohibit beer and alcohol at tailgates. Instead set up multiple beer trucks throughout the tailgate lots. Also have hard stuff being sold. Forget to look at ids and sell the hell out of alcohol. I figure with our drinking reputation we will have about 100 million in NiL per season….

Yep, there is a reason we went from having nearly zero NFL players to what we have now. Hate what’s happening because we believed in Campbell, and it feels like a screw job now. But being realistic, it’s going to be a daunting task to get where Campbell had us. History tells us this.
100 mil? That's pretty funny. I find beer disgusting but I'd probably buy a couple shots before a game, if they were available.
They used to run this play in the 80’s and early 90’s at a horse barn outside of Ames. Bused in and bused out. No ID, beer came out a taps on the side of a couple old beer trucks.
Finally someone’s insurance or the sheriff’s department got wind of it and shut’er down.
You bought a pin that got you in for $20?
Went to a couple…it was a good time.
Agree completely!! And don’t overlook that Pedo State now has the coach staff and most of the players who lost to a rather pathetic Colorado team and barely beat Arkie State & Okie State!
