    Desperate ISU turning to socialism

    The $21M for revenue sharing was a cost that wasn’t really planned for, mostly because it wasn’t on anyone’s radar before implementation. The athletic department seems to have this covered now, and we’re in a position to compete with legitimate NIL deals. The challenge is that money is being...

    Desperate ISU turning to socialism

    Iowa State University is a Carnegie R1 (Very High Level of Research). Most of our research comes from the Department of Energy and private industries. AAU values medical research and discounts research in other areas. Veterinary medicine, engineering, sciences, agriculture, etc. We don’t...

    Desperate ISU turning to socialism

    The reality is there are many universities in P2 or ACC and Big12 that can flat out spend both of our state schools. Most are also getting 15-20 mil of direct support. We don’t need to have those budgets, but need to be in the game. Iowa taxpayers are required to pay for many items they don’t...

    I said Iowa and ISU do not receive institutional support, both universities are in the minority. The majority of states do currently. Just to be clear, we agree on this, The original post alluded to ISU athletics receiving state support, both Iowa and ISU do not. UNI athletics does...

    Desperate ISU turning to socialism

    Then why are you borrowing 50 mil from the university? No I am saying the State of Iowa is one of the few states to not give institutional support to state athletic programs. Many states are and at high amounts.

    Desperate ISU turning to socialism

    Big Ten and SEC schools are already using taxpayer money. Almost everyone else is already doing it. The reality is that Iowa and ISU athletic events are economic drivers for the State of Iowa. Taxpayer money is already used to grow and develop businesses, recreational facilities, etc. Texas...

    Desperate ISU turning to socialism

    Well you thought wrong neither Iowa state or Iowa receive any direct institutional support. The state of Iowa needs to realize almost all other state universities are directly funding athletics. It will put the Iowa schools at a competitive disadvantage in the long term. 10-15 mil direct...

    OT: Jamie Pollard retiring next year

    Regarding your "land grant" chapter response: The 76 acre Iowa State Center tract was established in the late 1960s through land acquisitions and financing that made it legally and organizationally separate from Iowa State University. Its governance has long operated under independent boards...

    OT: Jamie Pollard retiring next year

    Pollard didn’t overspend rather the industry did. Iowa State got hit with $20M in new mandatory costs (House settlement, revenue sharing and market driven salaries). ISU actually had one of the strongest reserves in the country because Pollard ran things conservatively, and that reserve let ISU...

    Iowa State is one of the very few Power Conference programs that operates with zero institutional subsidies, funding athletics entirely through media distributions, ticket sales, donations, and sponsorships. Meanwhile, some Big 12 members receive over $50 million a year in direct institutional...

    IOWA ($180.0M) #28 in Total Revenue for Fiscal Year 2025. Clown U ($103.9M) is #68. IOWA is #3 in Net Rev Surplus ($29.1M), after Texas & Notre Dame

    Iowa State isn’t drowning in debt. ISU runs one of the leanest athletic departments in the country and stays competitive. The real problem is the broken financial model of college athletics nationwide, not Iowa State.
