Unfortuantely, I don't.I doubt it. That is a crazy amount.
I have no idea if the rumor is true or not, but the amount itself, no, I can 100% see that amount being thrown about in the portal.

Agreed. Great for the players. Good for them. But the smaller schools are 100% going to get left behind and that's just the way it is.
I don't have any information on who is, who isn't leaving and what if anything this means.
But unless we have someone whose an alum who has a lot of money, the reality is, we are going to lose people. Every year, probably. Its just the sad reality of the present situation
I've said this before, but there is only so much money to go around to keep everyone happy. At some point the money will dry up, and that is true for pretty much every program. At least the NFL has salary caps; college football is turning into who wants to buy a championshipI sit here just conflicted by all of this. The players deserve a cut of all this cash sloshing around. In some form.
But I have a low comfort level with the way it's being done.
Really it's because I see ISU falling behind in a new race to make players professional athletes. The school invests in football and NIL adds another layer that can pull players out of Ames.
New day. Good for the players. Unsure about ISU in this ecosystem, but that's nothing new.
Not for a Texas oil school.I doubt it. That is a crazy amount.
I don't doubt that amount is being thrown around in the portal. I doubt that Tech would shell out that much for one year/max two for Cooper. Maybe i'm wrong.Unfortuantely, I don't.

Pretty much already was that way. Now the lid is off.I've said this before, but there is only so much money to go around to keep everyone happy.

So would the national brands persuade an athlete to go to College A instead of College B? Obviously that would and will happen but I see that happening rarely. Maybe I'm naive.
I see this more as Cooper and Noel may not have comfort in pushing the envelope on how much they can ask for a Pizza Hut commercial, so Rosenhaus is doing the envelope pushing for them. Or at least that is what I'm hoping for. Not Nike or Addias saying yes...but.

*Rumor*
Tech is going after Cooper with 600k
Exactly this. People overlook endorsement deals and just jump right to the gloom and doom "some school is going to buy away our players". Jaylin Noel is a nobody at Alabama. How many endorsement deals is he going to get someplace like that? Jaylin Noel is a star at ISU with marketable name recognition. Guys going out and hiring nil agents isn't necessarily always a bad thing for ISU. If they can get them $ for endorsements, not just $ to transfer, that's a net positive for ISU retaining talent.These agencies can actually go out and get them good endorsement deals with national brands
He is from El PasoTexas Tech? They probably need to double it to get someone to go to that wasteland he is from El Paso.
I think you’d be surprised on how much some schools want to win.I doubt it. That is a crazy amount.

He is from El Paso
We have zero track record putting DB's in the NFL.What's important to remember is that while someone like Cooper is going to be a relatively hot entity, he's not likely to up and leave if he feels like he's getting excellent coaching that can help him get to the next level. Money matters, of course, and he'll get money for playing at ISU, too.
I get the point but you are going to need to go back and run the numbers on the Birmingham MSA vs Iowa lol.The entire state of Iowa has not much more population than the Birmingham metro and 55-65% of those people in Iowa are fans of someone other than ISU and an almost non-existent base outside of the state. Gotta look at potential reach when talking about marketing.
