Stansbury Announcement

[SolarGarlic]

Jared grew up a Huskers fan. He went to Iowa State and at least adopted them as a favorite. Always seemed like Nebraska was still his first love. He's been in the ISU media for a decade. It's very possible he wanted/needed to get away from CF and central Iowa. I wouldn't read too much into this other than a young professional trying to figure out where he fits within a very unstable and difficult industry. When you're looking at paying gigs, covering your favorite team is not required, or in many cases, desired.

Everyone should post the biggest decision of their life so we can all speculate and judge. Geez leave the kid alone and worry about your own life.

I thought he graduated from Simpson for some reason.

At the same time, he decided to live his life in the public eye. It's like when a celebrity asks for Privacy during his down time.

you listen to firmly entrenched? Jake Brend is the sports reporter from WOI graduated from Simpson but is a lifelong ISU fan.

Can’t say I agree with this. To me, he worked at a position doing what people believed is what he loved. He made a decision to better his life which meant moving on to a different job and the people he was serving are still dwelling on it. He made a decision to change his life for the better and you or I would do the same . Really not much more to discuss beyond that.

I am ok with him doing that. However, I am just sayin if you live your life in the public eye, people have and always will discuss you as a public person. That will never change.

 

[Drew0311]

Yes, He really did. All journalist are in the public eye.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Our fans are hilariously thin skinned sometimes. I suppose that can happen with a passionate fan base though

I think he left Simpson to attend ISU.

I can't think of too many journalists that I know much about that are just doing a job or switching jobs.

Yeah I'm assuming he just hit his ceiling at cyfan and then the des moines sports radio space seems pretty saturated. I've definitely worked jobs where the only way to move up is waiting on someone you respect to get fired or leave themselves and it's tough to stay motivated.

Played basketball at Simpson for a year. Then transferred to and graduated from ISU.

No they aren’t or at least not any more than pretty much any other profession. If they are, then pretty much anyone who owns a business or works in a client-facing position is “in the public eye.” I guess you can be upset/critical of him leaving, but you can’t justify it by saying “oh, well he is in the public eye.”

 

[carvers4math]

This is sad. Maybe he thought KXNO might hire him to actually cover us and when he found out he could earn more with a lemonade stand, he had to turn purple kitty.

It can be hard to "move up" in a profession if your experience is 100% in one spot. Stanz was the managing editor at CF. He was maxed out here. I thought he was doing great.

I'm sure (for possibly more than one reason) he just needed a new zip code. New experiences. Bigger network. Different geography. You can 'not want to leave' but also decide that you need to leave and branch out. There doesn't need to be some bad blood / sinister reason.

But I would prefer that this is some 3D chess subterfuge to upset the apple cart in purple cat country....

[Mr Janny]

This has become one of the dumber threads on CF. Do they not show Soap Operas on television anymore? Is that why people feel the need to create drama around this?

 

[Big Daddy Kang]

Good luck to him. I'd guess he lasted longer at his first real job than 99% of us.
