I don't view this as a controversy as I prefaced by saying I completely trust the judgement of Campbell and staff. A coach that already has a book on how to implement a football program surely has some ideas on this issue. It creates an interesting situation from a managerial perspective for the reasons I suggested and I'm excited to learn of Campbell's approach. I expect he'll have a clear path of milestones that need to be completed to earn playing time. The infamous Toledo Football fan would probably have a pretty good idea of what to expect?
I would think this has been discussed completely in staff meetings and also by the player counsel, which I assume CMC put in place at ISU. Then, Tonga, the coaches, and the player counsel were all made aware of the PLAN for him joining the team and earning playing time. I believe page 256, section 6, letter c of "THE PLAN" titled, BIG ASS talented lineman, how can we make this work!"
