    What you hate or don’t hate won’t matter. What people give might.

    No, not at all. We do a fantastic job and will never be the biggest spender. However, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to help our athletes and our athletic department be successful in the current circumstances. I believe NIL will be reined in during the next few years. Trying to prevent...

    This logic ignores simple economics. Of course you want to have players that want to be at Iowa State and there are probably some that will come no matter what. But if on the fence and the money is much better, it will swing decisions. Some people stay in jobs out of momentum and loyalty...

    One guess why Basile didn’t come to ISU? If you don’t think this will help entice better athletes, I’d say you are right to not participate.

    Sorry, I apologize. Feeling or being or wanting to.

    Miami. With Pack. But we can’t play at that level.

    Maybe. Or that may be paid out or We Will. Guess I’m not positive about that.

    Absolutely correct. We Will is just to meet minimum needs for Matt and TJ to work their magic. And our other coaches as well. We will never have the bucks to outbid the blue bloods. Just need to give them a fighting chance.

    Thanks I’m clunky. lthough editors purge irregardless from most published writing, the term is alive and well in spoken English and is recorded in most dictionaries. Those who use it may do so to add emphasis. The bottom line is that irregardless is indeed a word, albeit a clunky one.Jul 29, 2015

    Do as you will. It’s fine

    You are part of the half that doesn’t feel able to give. That makes sense. This was a what if post.

    It isn’t about who gets to complain. That is rampant on this site irregardless of donations. It’s about how you want the team to do and what each person is willing to do to get to that point. Let’s try to keep from devolving into victimjood and comparison.

    Good for them. I, due to life choices, don’t get the benefit of my contribution by going to games. So maybe he gives much less. That’s fine. But all of us likely want a competitive team, especially if you have season tickets

    Great. Good for him. I don’t live close enough to have the ability to go to games all the time. I watch from afar on TV for virtually free. I think this is a great use of my money and feel great about giving. Hoping others will too. The original post was just hoping 1/2 of the alumni would give...
