ISU new facility on hold?

Pollard is such a whiney crybaby. Blaming Big Ten and SEC football.
He would fit right in with the rest of the posters on this forum.
I thought you were leaving a long time ago you POS
So is an imaginary new wrestling room with tons of windows still better than an actual new wrestling room with no windows?
It's easier to win in an imaginary one, unless your imagination sucks.
So, it looks like the bonds for the new ISU wrestling facility were designed to be secured by revenue generated by the ISU athletic department and, if those departmental funds proved to be insufficient (because ISU football doesn't receive the same TV revenue as Alabama or any other reason), the state's taxpayers would ultimately be on the hook.
Seems like a pretty big gamble with state taxpayer dollars.
Hard to be sympathetic toward ISU's predicament. Go out and raise the money through private donations.

I was pretty surprised to read they weren't paying for it out of donor funds.
I mean...sort of...
David Carr was the highest paid athlete in the state of Iowa in the 23/24 school year. Even above Caitlin Clark. They have money, albeit not a ton and they don't spend wisely.
I'd love to see proof of that. Clark with all of her big name sponsors had to have been one of the highest paid athletes in college sports regardless of sex or sport.
There is just no way this is true. None. Zero. Zip. (Edit: Unless you're ignoring endorsements which is how CC makes her dough.)
In the past College Football Playoff (CFP) structure, the 5 major Power conferences (SEC, B1G, Big 12, ACC, PAC 12) mostly split evenly 80% of the CFP’s $460M in revenue. The PAC 12 no longer exists, of course, so now they are calling the SEC & B1G the Power 2 and the Big 12 and the ACC "the Other 2."
The Power 2 flexed their muscles and starting in 2026 SEC teams will earn as much as $23M annually from the CFP, the B1G $21M, the ACC around $13.7M and the Big 12 around $12.3M. Group of 5 teams are expected to earn a figure just south of $2M.

IOWA was #21 in the Country (and #6 in the B1G) in Total Revenue.
Overall, Iowa State (at $111.3M) brings in $40M less/year than Iowa. And that $40M gap will only increase over time (the new B1G TV contract kicked in this year).

It's been reported that Clark made over $3M this past year.
And moving forward? Nike alone will be paying her $3.5M/year over the next 8 years. Then add in what State Farm, Gatorade, Gainbridge, Hy-Vee, Panini Trading Cards, Comcast, Bose, ShootAWay, H&R Block, etc are paying her annually.
he's a F clown. Is he upset that the Big12 gets more teams in the NCAA tourney than the MVC? Thus a bigger cut of the pay. Doesn't seem fair to those D1 teams or that conference, right?
It's ok in basketball since it benefits us...but not in football . Thats just not fair.
