Rocco joining the Transfer Portal
- Thread starter hall4cy
- Start date
I’m all about the players who choose to stay and are committed to ISU. Anyone that leaves, sorry, but don’t let the door hit you in the butt on your way out. Next man up.

Would you want to pay Rocco a million to learn a new system? He’s not good enough to shell out that kind of cash. This is a moneyball move.
That schedule of theirs next year is embarrassing. Looks like a traditional Hok schedule.
You do not get a statue for 10 years of service, I'd be good with a nice plaque in the ISU history museum. CMC was great for ISU he elevated ISU football and deserves the opportunities he's earned. Again, no statue for 10 years of service.
Big 10 is intentionally setting up schedules like this to avoid elite regular season in-conference matchups. They'll always schedule so they get 3 teams minimum into the CFP.
He’ll get well over a million at Ped St. My guess is three times that amount. We were never going to compete with Ped St. money.
I appreciate everything Chris has done and continues to do for this website, but this has been a big blind spot of his for several years now.
There's a difference between being friendly with the people you cover, and being besties. The latter ultimately leads to less objective coverage, intended or not. Especially on a fan site where the average fan won't ever have those relationships, and cares about/is loyal only to ISU.
Him being so hurt by Campbell/Mouser/Rocco leaving has also lead to a 'meh' tone when talking about Rogers and the new staff, compared to the previous. I don't think he's doing it on purpose, but it's been noticeable on recent podcasts. And that's not fair to Rogers when CF is the leading Cyclone fan site.
What the hell are you talking about? There was no ISU player in the area. 4 mins 10 seconds.
What I'll be very curious about is whether or not the coaches on the Penn State staff wear his RB NIL gear like they did when they were here.
I totally get doing it here - promote the NIL. But will Penn State allow him to be bigger than the brand there?

His podcast with Blum after Campbell left looked like he just got back from the morgue. It was really bizarre just for a guy taking a new job.
Penn St is a program with a tradition of not putting names on the jerseys. I'm guessing not.
I mean this as respectfully as possible, but the immediate reaction podcast where he was crying about the news did not hit me the same way as most people.
My immediate reaction was “should a journalist have this kind of reaction? Aren’t they supposed to objectively cover the team?” But I get it, he’s a podcaster more than a journalist. And maybe what it means to be a journalist is different than it used to be.
Sounds like there is some smoke. Won’t know how legit until January 2nd at the earliest
Why? Integrity is woven into the very fabric of Penn State. Big time strength of character history in Happy Valley
"Matt Campbell embodies the values that define Penn State: integrity, excellence, strength of character and a commitment to student success,” said Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi"
