Sorry to say.... not really anything at this point. ISU fans have done more than enough already over the years IMO.... and it it isn't enough.... then it just isn't enough.

I will still live without football.... it won't be nearly as enjoyable, but I'll manage. If college football just wants to consist of the top 20-30 wealthiest schools.... I don't want to be a part of it anymore anyway.
Well, then I guess there's only one thing left to do...

Duh!
Download the FOX Sports app: go to Sport & Teams and select NCAA FB and select ISU to follow them. Then, do the same for ISU in NCAA BK.

The NBC Sports app does appear to allow you to follow specific teams not named ND. However, some please correct me if I am wrong.

Building off of what Jamie said: fill JTS and HC. So donate to the Cyclone Club, buy FB season tickets and/or single game tickets. If anything left, buy MBB tickets. Thinking ahead to streaming services and outside forces measuring a fanbase, how do we move the needle?

- follow the various ISU social media accounts on FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
- add ESPN, FOX, CBS and NBC sports apps; and follow ISU (specifically FB and MBB) on each app
- I have Cyclone.tv and ESPN+; is there a way to follow ISU on the ESPN+ app?

What else can we do to lift our profile in a way that is marketable?

Why not just get rid of everything ESPN? Why would you continue to consume their product. Switching your preferred team?…oh that’ll show’em

Oh FFS. What is with the fatalist talk?

Even if Iowa State fell to the AAC, you would still watch. You’ll maybe miss a game or two, but then would come crawling back to it. Iowa State is not going to vanish from the map. They will play college football.

Buy officially licensed ISU merchandise, lots of it, and give it as gifts.

Be a fan!

Join the Cyclone Club! Go to Games! Watch Games! Listen to Games on the radio! Wear you Cyclones Gear! Besides that, nothing we can do about the bean counting. Personally, I'm just not going to worry about it. I've loved Iowa State since the day I stepped on Campus for the first time. If they schedule games, I'm going!

Let's Go State!

Promote ISU on social media with big ten fans. Game day experience and tailgating at trice. Hilton Magic. Fans showing up at bowl games and KC.

I was just thinking, if we end up getting desperate we should just start sending merch to anyone with a following. Could be an effective little campaign. Maybe even create a hashtag. I don’t think we are at this point just yet but maybe at someday.

Following our current players, as well as commits on social media. This will immediately help with their NIL prospects, especially Instagram, YouTube, etc.. This will help with player retention and recruiting, by supporting their NIL opportunities.
