Jamie Pollard's letter to Iowa State fans on We Will Collective challenge

[CycloneErik]

I do agree with this. It bothers me how quickly NIL morphed into the fans needing to pay up, but it's been handled so poorly by the NCAA it's going to be hard to put the genie back in the bottle.

My hope is the conferences and NCAA figure out a way to provide the athletes a share of the TV revenue. Would be plenty for football, and no reason basketball players shouldn't get a cut of the massive windfall from March Madness. Then the star athletes with legitimate endorsement value can hustle for as much as they want.

Has it, or has it morphed that way at ISU with such a small set of big donors?
In other words, do schools with big donors already actually try things this way?

I don't know. It just sounds like the way a school without money would try this.

Agree it was a bad comment to type and post. But we all thought it.

How many total student athletes does ISU have? And how many got in trouble in the gambling thing? Yeah, it seems like an extremely low percentage.

I think someone in the gambling thread posted just over 400. Basically a few dumbasses got themselves in trouble. IMO.

My point exactly. 1-2% of any population reflects the total population soooo well.

I thought leaving the game at halftime, meant no more re-entry. Once you leave, you are out. Amiright?

If the LiveTix thing is an issue, just wait until they change the reentry policy.

I've never left early and tried to get back in, so I don't know how this works.

You scan out and can scan back in any time before the start of the 4th quarter.

Is there a way to say "thanks but no thanks" as far as swag goes? Personally if I'm donating to something, I'm not looking for getting anything for that donation. Quit the opposite actually - I'm hoping that 100% of the money donated goes directly to the cause. I'm not looking to pay for postage, printing, etc of some sort of recognition.
