I'm under the impression after talking to a few people that a professor at Iowa State had given a potential employer a bad recommendation of me, shortly after he told me to make him a reference because he can get me a job due to his title.
So, no matter how much money I ever make in my lifetime, the only Iowa State-related department I will ever be giving money to is the Athletic Department. At least, that's how it'll be until that professor is no longer here.
