Clown U QB Rocco Becht was pursued by multiple SEC & ACC schools to enter the portal
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
I think is very commendable and shows integrity that he is returning to ISU versus chasing the money.
I certainly believe it. Question I have: is there a more useless organization for not trying to enforce order, ethics, and rules than the NCAA?
I question the veracity of this claim. I think Rocco is solid and even I like how he carries himself, but those two receivers made that team this year. I’ll be shocked if his numbers don’t take a huge step back next year.
Perhaps these SEC teams were looking at him as someone to compete for a starting job or maybe for depth at a big name school.
No way anyone other than a low end school like Mississippi State is paying him to come in and be the starter.

He was pursued after last year as well. This is par for the course.
I'm happy he's back but it's easy to not chase the money when your dad was an 11 year NFL vet who made like 10 million dollars. Not every situation is the same.
I posted this in another thread but it's a conversation starting at about the 34 minute mark where they are talking about NIL in relation to the BYU guy who is reportedly getting 7 million. At one point Blum (Who is the director of ISU's NIL) said he's probably taken 50 phone calls from agents who just wanted to ask how much they would pay their guy. Their guy wasn't in the transfer portal and it was throughout this season.
Eickholt seems to think it's the coaches reaching out - it's not. It's all back channeled.
Can confirm he was pursued last year.
Allegedly, Anthony wanted to let Campbell know, and also appreciated that ISU had treated him well but, ya know.
This allegedly resulted in ISU coming up with 100k, and a truck for Rocco.
Its note worthy here obviously because OUR HC coach just took a game suspension for the same thing. Will the NCAA levy suspensions? Don't hold your breath. (And yes I know that Kirk's suspension was self imposed, but the NCAA was in fact investigating this horrific offense by the dean of NCAA coaches).
Everything I read and heard about Becht is positive, so I'm glad he's staying at ISU. Good QB, but probably a better person.
College FB is a mess. NIL + the transfer portal are ruining it, and have basically legalized cheating. Some sort of regulation needs to happen before it is completely ruined.It will only get worse as more $$$ is involved.
If Becht was approached and offered $$$ to transfer, why isn't that school(s) punished? If you submit your name to the transfer portal, then this open bidding is allowed. If not, schools shouldn't be allowed to do so, even if it is not done by the University.
I love college football, but this crap is ruining it for me.

Watching the video of Becht standing in the tunnel after the loss in the championship game, hugging and talking to every single teammate who was walking past him, told me all I needed to know about this guy.
Winner.
Winner.
I mean this sincerely the fact that Ferentz got himself caught up in this kind of shows how naive he is about it. You kind of have to behave foolishly to get your name attached to it.
I actually don't think he had anything to do with it. I think he fell on his sword to protect the person who did contact Mac. Honestly the whole thing was ludicrous. Mac was never going back to Michigan after he had his surgery in California.
Yes. Yes there is. It's called the MAGA Republican Party, the one that just elected a convicted felon president. You've probably heard about them. You've described them well.
Not much of a winner in that blow-out though.
Rocco should stay in the powder-puff Lil12 if he wants to keep padding his stats though.
They keep getting sued for trying to enforce anything at all. Why should they bother? They didn’t want any of this.
Enforce the rules you can. The problem is there are never any harsh punishments and certainly nothing to deter programs from tampering with athletes prior to going into the portal.
I’d be curious to see what he could do with a good coach. Purdy is a great example of guy who regressed every year under Campbell, got to the NFL and excelled. Rocco hasn’t necessarily regressed, but he’s certainly not getting better.
Go cry on some purple haired, nose ringed, baby killing, bitch's shoulder. (you know, the backbone of the Dem. party)
Same thing happened to Mason Richman last offseason. And I guarantee Gennings Dunker is gettin' calls.
Don't understand why you would doubt it. Almost anybody would pay him to be on their team at this point, whether it be for starter or not
Kirk shoulda claimed he accidentally butt dialed Cade. Total accident. Or that he wanted to let Cade know his car's warranty was expiring.
I think Becht is a lot better than some folks here are willing to admit. Yes, he has great receivers, but he makes some NFL-caliber throws. He has good mobility. And he also appears to have the ability to work through the progression, often hitting the 2nd or 3rd option.
Was it integrity to keep his kid employed past the point of absurdity?
What has changed with the portal and NILs is that some teams are able to get older and recruit an experienced QB that has gone through the redshirt/freshman/sophomore growing pains elsewhere and they reap the experience reward.
He is good.
I imagine him being this game changing talent, and whenever I watch him, I’m underwhelmed. It’s 100% a product of expectations. He gets talked about as a truly great QB. When it turns out he is simply quite good.
He’s a 9-3 season when you expected to go 11-1.
