Just went back and checked. Had over 60 emails on Monday. None from ISU athletics or WSF. Probably because I dropped my season tix a couple years ago.

I said it in another thread. Stopped ISU basketball after 20 seasons (including about 10 years I didn’t even make a game) and FGCU tickets after almost 10. Got season tickets to minor league hockey. Much more enjoyable

Of which I do neither. Which means I am an old fart, member of WSF for 20 plus years who doesn’t do much social media but has $$ to burn. Seems like I am the profile that they would want to be sure communicate with.

In answering the question, no I have not donated. One reason being, the only way I heard about it was reading this board.

I have no problem with a running back doing this. What I have a problem with is a running back playing for multiple universities in one season.

And they don’t have to split resources and NIL with football.

The other negative on top of this is that if players are gonna start using MM schools for a year or two, then transferring and getting NIL $$$, what little old fashioned team basketball there still is will disappear because all those young players will be looking to pad their stats and be...

I received one phone call a year ago from a captain. He said he would send me some info and get back with me. Never received anything and never heard back.

I was a season ticket holder for 20+ years. Drove from Peoria area every game. Was transferred overseas. Kept season tickets while I was gone and gave to friends and family and even donated and had FB season tix for several years. Retired and moved to Florida. Kept my ISU tickets for 8...

Wait, I think I have a new strategy. Instead of trying to use NIL dollars for players, why don’t we take what little NIL $ we have, use it to go after hot cheerleaders and dance team members and see if that can attract and retain players.

Fewer and fewer commits saying “100% committed” theses days.

It is interesting. Fox has a deal with the 3 conferences guaranteed a spot. So if you are an under 500 team in one of those conferences, do you just thumb your nose at the NIT (controlled by NCAA) or send as many to NIT as possible and end up with crappy teams in this tourney. I think this...

I want a court where the 3 point line is shorter on one end than on the other and I want us to shoot from that end all the time.

Since those 3 came from the portal, and each have played here a year or more, what makes us think we can recruit better this time around and make up for 4 collective years of experience in the system?

If athletes are employees, their contracts COULD have non compete clauses in them, like most employment contracts have. Would need to be NCAA (or whatever replaces them) wide and not school by school or state by state.
