Cyclone fans love Pollard and you have to give him a lot of credit for being agressive in some things compared to the previous AD's and giving fans hope. BUT, if you are on the outside looking in you see a guy that has made some big decisions but the
FB team is not any better, the men's BB team is not any better, the renovations are mostly just plans right now, and Pollard also stuck it to Iowa with the $90 tickets and the billboard. That's a lot of stuff with little improvement in actual wins in the 2 major sports so far. Granted I do think both programs are going to show improvement this coming season but the big vision of putting
ISU on the map as a consistent winner is still a ways off.
So I can see why other school's fans may hate him and it doesn't bother me. I'd rather have Pollard over Barta 10 times out of 10. I'm patient enough too that I see Jamie's vision and know it won't happen overnight but a couple years from now if the
FB program still is mediocre and the basketball team is not making the NCAA tourney you will see
ISU fans questioning Jamie's decisions.
