Love the time Milan gave us, but he needs to go into the NBA as a cyclone. It would be beneficial for Iowa state. I know it’s petty and I love Milan but I will not be able to watch him nor cheer for him at another college team. Sorry not sorry
It's not petty to not cheer for Milan if he plays for a different college team. Never understood why a segment of our fanbase acted like they were going to cheer for CMC and Rocco et all at Penn State. Wish them the best but definitely don't cheer for exCyclones on other college teams.

I genuinely hope CMC fails at Penn state and badly lol idc call me petty but his coach speak last season was unbearable

As I've said earlier, you don't have to cheer for Milan. Understanding his situation, moving on, and paying no attention to him is an option.
 
I’ll never blame a guy for moving on to get paid. But what seems odd to me is if you get life changing money at either place. Why wouldn’t you take 3 here v 5 elsewhere to have a lifetime of legend status?

Maybe HyVee comes in with a 20 year deal that serves as his pension no matter how the NBA works out.

It all depends on what team Milan goes to. If he goes to Kansas I’m not rooting for him. Somewhere like Florida or somewhere like that I’m ok with

It’s tough to understand the long term benefits of staying at a school for 4 years. I am sure it’s hard to pass up an extra million or two, but if you stay at a school that pays you well () you have more connections to the donors and the fanbase that can help you after your career in athletics, plus you create a legacy and a place to come back to for alumni events

For me it’s different if they don’t leave by choice. I believe Milan wants to stay at ISU if he ends up returning to college, but TJ has let him know they can’t wait for him to find out his NBA prospects. ISU can’t afford to sit on millions in NIL money just n case Milan doesn’t go to the NBA this year. If Milan was simply leaving ISU for a different program because theyve were offering more money, I would feel differently.

$ 2 million a lot of money. 100k a year is a decent wage and obviously would take 20 years to make $ 2 million so can't blame him.
