Fascinating read, with some cold, hard facts
Rocco will go down early season with injury. Nice young man. Great parents. But he's well past his peak.
Interesting read, but not much really new. It is wrong on one aspect- I, and I’m guessing most Iowa State fans won’t be tuning in to see how it goes. I legitimately do not care how Campbell or any of our now former players do moving forward. I want to celebrate the people who chose to be here, not those that leftI don't know if this is 100% accurate or is AI, but I could see it happening.

Someone f**ked up not giving these kids talking points that weren’t going to ruffle feathers and subject them to this kind of criticism. You’d think the king of coach speak would have this covered, but apparently not.I don't know if this is 100% accurate or is AI, but I could see it happening.

This is a trash post.
You should always unfollow your ex immediately after breakup. Like who cares. Let’s go rebound ****. It’s funner than being sad and depressed.

That article does not pass the sniff test for me at all. I'd like to see where those quotes are sourced from, for starters.
I believe this quote was reported elsewhere today/. Maybe somebody has it handy. I will try to find and post here if I can find it again.
Update: from Pete Thamel with ESPN
Becht rejoins Campbell, transfers to Penn State
Former Iowa State standout Rocco Becht, one of the most coveted quarterbacks in the NCAA transfer portal, committed to Penn State, he told ESPN in a phone interview Sunday, a program that will allow him to continue to play for coach Matt Campbell.

If a player transfers (ISU beyond) and doesn't start, or get considerable playing time, is transferring $'s worth it?
If ISU offered me $200k, and PSU offered me $250k, my parents would step in, asking, "Do you think you'll play at the next level? If not take the extra 50k."
My response."Hell yeah, blah, blah, blah," NFL reality aside.
I don't see many of our transfers playing next level, other than #31 (forget his name).
Previous CMC classes have featured numerous highly athletic players.
I don't see "that," in this class of transfers beyond #31.

I’m sure it varies by kid. And by how much money youre talking about.
Would most of them change schools and give up playing time for another 30k after taxes? Probaly not. Especially if they have NFL aspirations.
But if you know you’re never playing football after college and someone throws you another couple hundred thousand dollars maybe you go ride the pine and take your money.
That would be tough, to know you have almost no chance to play again and are going to just sit on the bench for 500k vs 300k. I don’t think I could do it.
Pretty rude, dude.
Doubt I'll cheer for Rocco going forward, but damn, the day I forsee Injuries for any player.... out.
Yeah, it’s not an easy decision. I’m also talking as an adult with a family and many years working in financial services. Meaning I understand the head start another 150k at 23 years old gives you in life. Specifically knowing how long it would take the average college grad to set that kind of money aside and how time is your biggest friend with investing.
22 year old me very well makes a different decision
I am on the back side of my professional career and even with that knowledge, I would have played. There is a point in life where money becomes less and less meaningful and the moments (I’m not old that I’m counting my days) matter more.Yeah, it’s not an easy decision.

Then again I loved football and personally always played so that might factor into it.
Y'all are crazy. $$$$$$ talks. Especially to young kids in these situations.
This is one question I haven’t seen asked or answered…wonder how good these guys have been at addressing TAXES?
I can’t help but think it’s not been a focus.
I also doubt much of the NIL money to date has been invested. At least not in appreciating assets.

I’m sure this is going about as well as you’d expect with a lot of these kids. Get 100k, spend it on a car or some other depreciating assets, set aside nothing for taxes.
