JP isn’t cheap and he is a lot smarter than most on this board.
If anyone is cheap, it is our own fans. Always have been tightwads. Many like to complain about JP but then refuse to pay to play. Dems the facts.

If Campbell is really all about Ames, as he has said in the past, I don't think he should have any issue signing a contract extension with a the buyout clause that is currently in the contract he has now (100% of remaining contract which on this contract would only be 2.9 mil). That is honestly the only way I feel comfortable with him staying year to year. Pay him 2.5 mil total comp/yr for 5 years and then put in incentives. Hoiberg was making 2.6 mil/yr at the end of his run in Ames. This should be just as high of a priority.
You have to spend money to make money. If you dont pay the moneymakers (football and basketball), you cant afford the sports that are money pits.
This is not enough salary for what he will be generating in revenue if he is here for the long haul.
You have never meet the man. He is your typical accountant. The PC word for him is fiscally conservative.
Here is the best plan for keeping CMC. Start a Go Fund Me in my name. When it reaches 10k, I'll call CMC and tell him to stay his entire career at ISU.
Can't get much easier than that.

I agree, but you can't be on the hook for a huge amount if things go south. 2 year deals that increase to 1-1.5 million/year would be better but make it easier to poach due to the low buyout.
We are 8 yrs away from the expiration of the Big12 GOR and potentially the next round of realignment. We need to pay enough to put him in the top half of BCS salaries. I don't expect him to be here for 8 yrs but we need to keep him here long enough to establish a winning program like Fred did with BBall.
Why can’t you? If it goes south we’re exactly where we’ve been before by not paying top money. This isn’t about value.
Ideally you give him all you can and extend a few more years, but if tacking on even more years makes a difference, you do it.
2 of the 3 didn't want to be at ISU. The other turned out to be a not so great coach.
Keep the ones that want to be at ISU!
KJ? Is Campbell clueless and just cashing checks while seemingly trying to find any excuse possible to avoid admitting that he's a terrible coach? Otherwise I don't see any comparison to Kevin Jackson.
Guessing KJ is the gymnastics coach that left to go to OU and just won the national championship.
Completely agree. It's an opportunity that ISU definitely needs to exploit To paraphrase CMC himself, the schools that achieve ultimate success are the ones who react most effectively to the adversity of success.
Also Campbell has ISU playing perhaps the best football they've every played over a 3 game stretch, KU game be damned; 45-0 conference win is legit.
Completely untrue. Cael wanted to be here but JP wouldn't pay him above market price. JP essentially told CFH, in a public manner, that Iowa State can only pay so much. CFH was 2.3 million a year at the time.
In Nebraska, 1997 never ended. That's why they will throw all they have at Frost.
