    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    I hope you are right but have any original thoughts? You’ve been posting the same post for months with just different wording that sounds like a bot or copy paste from a Thamel article. Yes, I know you’re going to call me a P2 boy or something.

    ***Official 2024-25 College Football (non-ISU) Thread***

    Give it a year or two and the commercials and timeouts will have the sunset right back in its natural end of 3rd/start of the 4th quarter. Ps: the sunset at Rose Bowl does hit different. Don’t let the haters say otherwise.

    Williams & Blum: Two big recruiting wins for Iowa State, sensitive Matt Rhule

    THANK YOU!!! This has been driving me crazy since it was announced he was visiting. At first I thought he was being facetious but it’s been mentioned on multiple pods.

    NIL - Is It What You Expected / Specific Changes Needed

    Curious as to what you specifically mean by losing interest because of lack of longevity with the program? Like, you prefer a kid coming in and redshirting and then maybe seeing the field after a couple of years? I wouldn’t say our bball or football teams have had as many 1 year rentals as...

    NIL - Is It What You Expected / Specific Changes Needed

    Exactly what I expected and have no issues. The money amount is a little crazy but you are worth what someone is willing pay you. I have more of an issue with how loose the portal is but that’s another discussion.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    JFC. Yes Kansas cheated, yes UNC cheated, and yes we also cheated in some capacity. Can we stop clutching pearls and admit that cheating has been done, by everyone as long as forever. To be honest I HOPE we do some under the table NIL deals whenever this gets settled. Who cares anymore?

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    My friends who went to SDSU always said Brookings was just a smaller Ames…….. And that’s what Ames would turn into.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    North Carolina: we will distribute you our revenue money from sports gambling to help you fund your revenue sharing. Iowa: We will go after your athletes and their $15 bets to ensure they never play another second of collegiate ball again.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    Before going further I guess I would have to genuinely ask to you and others what does a voluntary separation look like? Is it ACC and Big 12 together? Is it individual schools choice? Is it anyone outside of the top 20 brands, which won’t happen, even the Minnesota’s of the world would never...

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    For anyone who wants us to voluntarily “separate” from the Big 10/SEC, take a moment to think if you want the current landscape or to be UNI/Drake. Because that is what would happen.

    When was the last time you wore a tie?

    Hahaha. Funny enough this is exactly where my comments came from. I grew up in rural Iowa but live out on the west coast now. I often come back for weddings for family and friends and am baffled by how people dress. To each their own but if it was my wedding I’d be insulted if someone wore cargo...

    Williams & Blum: Mailbag Edition

    FWIW: 2021 against Iowa wasn’t the rain game that was postponed. That was 2019. 2021 was the insanely hot game where we wore black against them. That game was a struggle the entire time.

    “I’m Coming Home Soon” -Royce White

    He could have had a long career, made more money than he would know what to do with, and probably could have made a couple all-star teams. He can’t get out of his own way and I would be ok if he never stepped foot in Ames ever again.

    When was the last time you wore a tie?

    I own 8 but I used to have to wear a suit and tie everyday for work but that ended after Covid. I loved wearing a suit and tie everyday. Now I sit at my desk wearing a company golf polo, jeans, and Cole Haans, so i can’t complains I do think the dress code for most jobs have become a little...

    Big 12 is not “the toy poodle league!”

    Do you know what the violations were for?
