Pollard On Student Section

[rholtgraves]

I'm not sure I'd go that far-it is a tough job to be AD at Iowa State and in the Big 12 with Texas the boss. I do feel like he comes across very poorly at times. The "New Years Day Bowl" tweet, statement regarding Bubu (Athletic department will decide status), jabbing the students, getting kicked out of a high school basketball game, etc. Some of this stuff is just below what his office should stand for.

I know. I was exaggerating to get some good reactions going.

What has Pollard done that is so great besides convincing people to shell out more money and buy more tickets for a below average football team? He ran Cael off and the wrestling went down the crapper. He hired the worst bball coach Iowa state has had for 30 years and gave him a ridiculously bad contract. Fred saved his butt in basketball.
He was set to give Chizik another contract even though he was horrible.
That's not even counting the stupid crap he says.

So what are the good things he has done? He is vastly overrated by some on here.

I'm pretty sure Cael left on his own.

Jamie??

Nope, the silent majority speaks up.

Apparently someone has forgotten about the torched earth BVDV years.

Weak student turnout again today. At least 1000 empty seats in the student section.

Imo the fact seats are not guaranteed may hurtas much as it helps.

True. I know students that don't get season tickets, because they are not guaranteed a seat.

Ok that's not even true

 

[ISUCyclone06]

BS limit student tickets sell more real seats, if student don't get them fast enough buy a regular seat.

 

[ianoconnor]

It's more like two hundred empty, not 1,000.

This.

Still bad, though. I would have loved to have a ranked team to go watch week in and week out when I was at ISU (05-09).

This is underrated. Wrestling doesn't really matter. Cael wasn't run off. He wanted everything and ISU cannot and wouldn't not give him that. PSU would. Chizik and McD were both universally thought of as good hires. Then he took a chance on Hoiberg that a lot of guys wouldn't have taken and time will tell on Rhoads, but that was a risky one as well. His job is to make money. He has done that in numerous different ways.

Two inches of snow?

 

[Storkenheimer]

7 empty rows x 30 seats per row = 2100 students missing!

Regardless, the student section sucks.

Re: Student section

How many times do I have to say that the students on this board are NOT the problem.
