Maybe I'm the only one here who sees JP's contribution differently than do you. When JP arrived, we were short on facilities and thin on fan attendance (remember attendance for the Mizzou game with the North Division title on the line?). Both have increased tremendously during JP's tenure. How else to explain such growth phenomena with lackluster results on the football field other than to point at JP's leadership? JP's ability, using his sharp financial vision and marketing skills while also convincing the monied to ante up, allowed him to build brick and mortar while simultaneously increasing fan support by showing powerful signs of hope to the rank and file. JP has led us along the path to this moment, when we have CMC, who we believe will have a powerfully positive influence on the football program and Iowa State University overall. JP has built the Iowa State brand from the turf up, a Herculean task. Let's see where we go from here. Those who doubt JP's overwhelmingly positive influence on ISU athletics, please consider where we'd be if Bruce Vandevelde had been AD the past decade. (Note: Paragraphing isn't working for me, anyone know how I can force justify line breaks?)
