If Pollard keeps this guy, Pollard can leave. Absolutely no excuse to go for the threepeat, which Prohm will achieve given the chance.
For as much as we've disagreed with each other the last couple of seasons, sometimes quite strongly
, I have to strongly agree with you here.
I listen to other posters write about shifting our focus to football now and the possible ramifications for Campbell leaving if JP does, and to a certain extent I can get that, but honestly, for as much as our FB is on the upswing, and as great as that is for long time Cyclone fans like you and I, I have to presume that casual college sports fans still probably recognize the words "Hilton Magic", and what that means more then they can recognize who Matt Campbell is. That's not to bag on Campbell, and I hope that's pretty obvious. I cried tears of joy after we won at Texas; I took the day off work so I could watch the Fiesta Bowl and I cried tears of joy after that game as well. But I grew up a Cyclone fan specifically because of Iowa State basketball, and I do feel that we are still known as a basketball school around the country.
Having good programs in both sports is not mutually exclusive, and we have every right as fans to have high expectations in both sports. If JP cannot recognize that, and/or cannot recognize how important it is for the overall culture of ISU Athletics to have a good, strong men's basketball program, then he needs to find a new place of employment. I'm totally with you on that.
