No **** NDAs are common. Doesn't mean that the reason for a few of them aren't ****** and a really bad look for Campbell. I can assure you the situation of the one i know of personally was a complete POS move by Campbell.

Dude, you're coming in here hot today with posts and dumbs. Why are you so emotional?
Also, Kliemans departure and Campbells are not in the same category. Furthermore, Campbell may not have pressured directly but it was clear as of the morning after the announcement that there were at least 10 guys going to Happy Valley with Matt. It's undeniable that would change their view on bowl participation whether it was directly or indirectly.
CyDude - dumb my post if you're Campbell's PR rep.

His motivation may not be to sink ISU. But Matt doesn’t care if that is the end result.
Strokes his ego ala "I could do it at ISU and no one else is good enough to"
lol it’s not a bad look by Campbell at all. And I’m not believing your ******** about Campbell.
So CyDude16 is either Campbell or someone close to him and G Spot is JP.
I know it’s not the same, that’s why I said that, because as you know, Kansas state opted out of their bowl before Iowa State did.
Nice edit-no connection to Campbell, just tired of rehashing of complete non sense by fans who are scorned and acting like idiots.
That's what I'm thinking. Extend it to all alcohol sales in Ames the Friday's before games as it's all technically pregame prep.
If you want to find a narrative for this that plausibly fits what he showed over 10 years I’d go with Campbell is pissed Pollard effectively pulled the plug on his program and may not even be consciously aware he is.
I’m not at all saying I believe Campbell is vindictively trying to sabotage ISU football, just that a story exists that fits the public character.
He spent a decade building a program in Ames. He has talked about building something rather than being somebody.
That last part is tricky, because hiding from ego doesn’t make it disappear.
So is it plausible Campbell negotiated down his buyout with a master plan to leave an acolyte in place to continue the program when he moved on?
Is his building wrapped up in personal legacy?
Would having a P4 head coach in his tree at age 46 be a hell of a milestone to hit while building that legacy?
That Pollard felt compelled to meet with Mouser right after Campbell is a little odd. I mean, Mouser had just completed his second season as a coordinator at any level. Was Mouser taking over something Campbell had hinted at?
So could Campbell convince himself that he is acting in the best interest of kids left behind by telling them it is no longer the same program? Could he convince himself it isn’t about his own legacy (and ego)?
It doesn’t sound impossibly out of character?
But again, this is bored speculation based on public persona and pop psychology alone.

Crap. Kudos on the knowledge and research. Thought I was in My Cousin Vinny’s for a second.
For what it is worth I wrote that in Joe Pesci’s voice while gazing longingly at the Marisa Tomei portrait in my den.
If I owned a business, I’d hire you. Director of Creative Thinking…
Also wondering if there isn’t more validity to the JP animosity rumors…or he’s pissed JP leaked the pedo state news on him?
Or that JP outshined him by announcing JR before pedo state even got theirs done.

For those of us old enough…you might remember a special kinda dip **** that was our AD and spent time on these very boards,
BVD you magnificent bastard…
Year two will be full of unrealizable expectations…2027 has at Illinois, at Indian, and at Oregon. Syracuse, Michigan and Michigan St at home. Temple as a trap game.
That’s the neat part, when the Lions miss the playoffs again all those second season at PSU issues are the next guy’s problem!
