Anyone remember a few years back where that OL from MN went to Nebby and following a snap during a game he remained in the set position the entire play? I believe this was prior to Raiola, but that shit was weird and funny as hell because I think he was a mad shit talker about the Gophs. Bernhardt or something?

It's kind of weird. I don't remember anyone I knew going to school in Iowa at all, but a lot my co-workers kids went to ISU. I wonder if reciprocity agreements changed?

The Minnesota guarantee, changing demographics and decreased enrollment all around has caused our neighboring states to really incentivize out of state tuition. SD for instance charges in state tuition to MN kids. I'm sure Iowa has done something similar.

Just doing quick Google search, I don't see anything at ISU other than resident and nonresident. Another quick Google search shows that Iowa is still not a member of the MSEP, same as it has been for a long time (or maybe forever).

Primary Reciprocity Partners:
  • North Dakota: Statewide agreement for all public institutions.
  • Wisconsin: Statewide agreement for all public institutions.
  • Manitoba, Canada: Agreement for public institutions in both jurisdictions.
Past Agreement:
  • South Dakota: The statewide agreement ended after the 2023-2024 academic year, but the University of Minnesota is honoring it for current and some new students.

If they thought this was the caliber of hire they dont fire Franklin...certainly not mid season.

Look Campbell is a good coach its not a knock on him but he is replacing a guy who was coming off a run in the playoffs. The pressure is huge and if he isnt that level or better he wont last.

For the situation they put themselves in they backed into a good hire. But no one at Penn State, none of their fans, zero pundits or posters around here would have said it was a smart move to replace Franklin with Campbell going into the year nor when Franklin was fired.

It’s tough to evaluate a coach at a place like ISU to a coach at a place like PSU.

Maybe...and he could turn out to be better than who they fired but the odds are not great as we have seen over the past couple of decades. For Penn State's sake I hope that he is better.

But there is an almost zero percent chance if you told Penn State they would be getting Matt Campbell they fire Franklin especially during the season. You dont make that move to be one of the last teams to make a hire.

Probably mostly true but Campbell was widely popular at ISU and comparatively had many more marquee wins than PJ. I think he has the “it” factor to handle that job just fine.

It will be interesting to see what Matt Campbell can do with a recruiting class that's usually top 10 or top 20 if he can maintain that at PSU.

His ISU recruiting classes seemed to be ranked around 50-70.

If I remember correctly, Mullen wanted $5 million per year total for him and his staff at that time. (I'm not sure if it was reported in the paper or only here.) Back then, that seemed crazy -- at least in these parts. Mason was making $1.65 million per year. Would've loved to see Mullen could do here.

If someone stole fleck I’d still love Mullen to come here

Iowa State is no bargain for Minnesota students. No reciprocated deals. Students are attracted by the smaller size than the U and an outstanding engineering program. And proximity to the metro area.

Guessing it's easier to get into than Big Ten schools, as well. Like getting into NDSU.

NDSU has (or used to have) a good reputation for engineering as well. But obviously ISU is bigger and perhaps the attraction of FBS football and high-major basketball is important. Otherwise, the schools themselves I believe are similar.

Looks like a pretty high acceptance rate compared to the U. Three times as large as NDSU.

I had assumed there was reciprocity but it doesn't exist. Some Iowa schools have individual accommodations for Minnesota residents. But total undergraduate cost of attendance for undergraduate non-residents at Iowa State seems to only be $5-6k more than resident total cost of attendance at the U.

Bold: I am surprised to see, you are correct. Did not realize it was that large. Endowment is also more than 3x larger.

Look I know you hate PJ cause he kicked your dog...but he has nothing to do with this. Hiring him would be a dumb move too.

Like I said, its not a knock on Campbell he is a very good coach. You dont fire a guy less than a year after winning two playoff games to hire him. Not if you are Penn State. It could very well end up a blessing.

No reciprocity, but they have a fairly easy bar for Minnesota students to hit to have tuition reduced $6,000-$8,000 to make it similar (I don't remember the specific dollars or process). Both my daughters toured it 8-10 years ago and one really liked it but didn't attend for other reasons. Easy drive down 35 from the metro, lots of Minnesota kids there, fun college town.

As far as I know the only Iowa school that offers instate tuition to Minnesota is UNI . That just began in 2025.
