Don’t “donate” to “The Collective”.

[Gunnerclone]

Donate to the AD. Don’t split your donations up, don’t go down a level to contribute to the Pay to Play scheme. This is what helping actually looks like. “NIL” is just a siphoning of important funds to agents and players that will come and go. Don’t fall for it, don’t be part of the problem.

Also if you have extra to donate then give to your academic area of choice. There’s a bunch of departments and every day students that can use your help.

Edit: @rochclone brought up a great point. I made an edit to the thread title and want to clarify that giving money to “The Collective” is a payment, not a donation.

Or, hear me out, individuals choose where to donate their own damn money to the area they think it will make the most impact for what is important to them.

I mean that's fine if that's what you want but then we might as well move down to a mid major. Not sure we needed a new thread for this

 

[cy maximus]

What? Let’s let all the transfers go someplace else then and just not try to stay competitive in this new environment?

 

[3TrueFans]

Don't tell me what I don't do.

 

[TheHelgo]

already donated, and thinking of doing more. You do what you want, and I will do what I want.

I am donating now. But if this whole NIL thing results in my not not enjoying college sports, then I'll probably stop donating and stop following college sports altogether

Is The Collective out of gas?

Dude, you can't solve all the worlds problems. By. Yourself.

Give it some time. Let this play out. I often appreciate your opinion and rationale. And while this might be your opinion I don't think it needs to be posted in this time frame. I guess that is my opinion.

What’s my ROI if I donate to the History Department? I hear that department can’t compete with Engineering School so I’m not sure why I would donate.

Actively campaigning against the collective is a bold move. Im guessing free Iowa State fan sites with great writers don’t survive if we aren’t competitive at the P5 level.

Is this the new premium/non premium argument?

 

[Cyfan1965]

Resistance is futile!

 

[WhoISthis]

Don’t donate or spend on ISU at all. Why are we spending nearly $100 million on kids playing a game? on kids that come and go!

Instead, let’s convince JP it’s time to close shop and move to club sports only. Get ahead of the rest of the herd when NCAA vs Johnson rules athletes as employees.

So what if we’re the only former P6 in the herd. Honor before victory!

They’ll right books about the time a million dollar AD, of the $100 million budget for kids to play games, stood his ground to preserve amateurism.

Damn you beat me. I instantly thought of the sweat thing too and you did it the very next post lol

I’m guessing we are okay sacrificing the Olympic sports as well when fb and mbb go to CUSA. It’s really simple. Keep your donations with Cyclone Club at the current level. If you can donate to the collective then do so.
