Yeah...I've been saying we should be doing this since the NIL was implemented. We should have someone on staff who is just scouting mid-major teams and having boosters put out feelers to the best players that we identify. We aren't the bottom of the food chain just because there's a handful of programs above us, there's a whole lot more below us.

Is it a better strategy to go play the transfer portal for young players versus recruiting a lot of high school talent in 2022 and beyond? We still need to be recruiting local preps, but if there are 5 scholarships open in 2023. DO you allocate 2 for freshman and the rest to transfers?
If someone has already used their 1 time waiver.. They have to sit out a year to transfer again, right? Wouldn't that make one-time, younger transfers more desirable for committing to ISU long term?

I honestly don't see NIL killing football like it is basketball. Player development is crucial in order to even get a sniff at the NFL where the NBA is drafting on potential.
I'm not saying we made Tyrese, but if he wasn't worth $750,000 (or whatever the rumor is) out of high school and he is now, doesn't ISU have some sort of role in that? Could he have been practicing and working out at the YMCA and still gotten paid?
In my example, when I got my MBA, I certainly worked hard for that. And I like to think the company got a benefit from my education. But if I were to want to leave my company within 5 years, I still owed them money for that tuition regardless of how much benefit they had already received.
Or start redshirting or reducing minutes of guys that you want to develop I guess. If a coach sees a freshman center that he thinks could be a great player once he gets some muscle built up, should he play him or just have him ride the bench so no one knows about him?
How were they robbed? Nothing was stolen from them. You are arguing over whether they should have received more benefits. NIL money is to come from the fans. Pay up if you want. My priorities of kids and grandkids is much more important than paying some athletes additional compensation. Never have complained. We made the donations to pay for the new Stadium back in the 1970’s. We made the donations for all the amenities to make our athletes better and more comfortable. There is no Culture without the fans. We built the infrastructure.
Are we 100% sure him leaving is about NIL and not something else? Otherwise, he would give ISU a chance to match one would think.
We fired the coach he came here to play for, so we can just call it even maybe.
Tyrese wasn't some schlub when he came here. He was a Top 40 recruit. I'd venture to guess if he'd gone elsewhere he'd still find himself in a similar position.
I also think it's funny to act like he didn't bring $750,000 worth of value back to the University/program.
Any insight on the contract terms of these NIL deals? Are they required to play at said university for X years?
Listen to the latest CF podcast with Chris and Blum. They basically come out and say it's about being paid for NIL
Of the few rules there are, one of them is no pay for participation. IE must play minimum minutes/years/games.
The problem with this stance is their value is 100% conditional on people still watching. If people just stop watching their value is $0.
If we see schools poaching people not in the portal for money then this next season is likely my last supporting Iowa State financially. I’ll likely still watch but I’m not going to focus my life around it like I have. The thing is I’m a die hard fan. What about all of the casual fans that are going to lose interest. Why should they watch semi-pro sports when they could watch professional sports.
My stance on paying players has been and remains that no one should be prohibited from playing professionally. Looking at you NBA and NFL, but if you want to play college sports then you are agreeing to play amateur sports. If you want to do some true NIL stuff ok but you are signing up for college sports. The model we should look to is college baseball. You want to go pro go ahead but if you are coming to college your going to college.
NIL is likely the biggest factor, but I'd guess D-Rob moving on and being on a team with an offensive identity that may not highlight your strengths for the next level probably played some role too.
Also hope the people saying “we can match that” are opening up their check books.
We’ve been on the lower 5% of athletic donations for decades but somehow “this” is gonna change everything.

No one was robbed. All the benefits these guys get as scholarship athletes should be enough. As someone who has experienced these benefits they were more than enough and things are even better now.
