To put this into context, when The Minnesota Timberwolves made an illegal, under-the-table secret agreement with Joe Smith to sign below-market contracts so the team could later acquire his Larry Bird rights. [1, 2], NBA Commissioner David Stern voided Smith's contract and penalized the Timberwolves by stripping them of five first-round draft picks (though one was later restored) alongside a $3.5 million fine.

So this is a very similar punishment. $3.5 million in 2000 is worth about $6.79 million. Ballmer super wealthy so they hit him for a little more.

If Iowa State had oil billionares footing the bill, I'm sure it would behave differently financially. And FWIW, I don't blame Tech at all for spending money. And I like/appreciate Cody Campbell a lot.

Stop being intellectually dishonest.

It feels silly to take these statements even remotely seriously, but if we were:

LIV burned through $5B and lost their future funding.

PGA Tour:
-Hasn’t touched their $1.5B investment
-Has another $1.5B to draw from
-Has 46 of the top 50 players
-TV ratings ⬆️

But, the media.

I, too, would be down on a stadium in which my team has struggled to win a game since 2007. 51 games under .500 in beautiful St. Pete over that period, ouch.

I understand the panic about the Milan Momcilovic situation, let me explain my perspective.

This isn’t Momcilovic “bag chasing.” Milan and Otzelberger have been weighing the options on what’s best for both parties. This situation is happening because of the timeline.

Iowa State had two avenues:
1. Wait on Momcilovic’s pro decision. If he came back, that’d be great for Iowa State. If he didn’t, they’d be in big trouble with a massive hole on the roster (ie 2022-23). At that point T.J. Otzelberger would be gambling that he could find a couple players that fit what he needed in Early may. That’s a big gamble.

2. Mutually part ways. If Milan couldn’t commit to coming back right now, then it’s safer for Iowa State to allocate those resources elsewhere. Otzelberger knew this was a possibility and had a plan for this. There’s a very good chance that Iowa State’s roster for 2026-27 is completed tonight. I believe that Iowa State’s portal class was built with the thought that Momcilovic wouldn’t be on the team next year. T.J. Otzelberger knows what players fit his program and it’s a lot easier to find those players in mid-April than it is mid-May. It's risk management.

Iowa State obviously went with option two. As tough as it is for both parties to move on, it really was the best option for both sides. In a perfect world, Momcilovic would have all of the feedback he needs on April 12. Unfortunately that’s not how it works. It wouldn’t be fair to Otzelberger, the staff and the returners to have the risk of an incomplete team. Milan gave so much to the program. Not every transfer decision resembles the brokenness of college spots. This one is a backup for Momcilovic if he doesn’t get the feedback he expects. It’s a necessity.

Should Iowa State have wanted Milan back? Absolutely. He’s the best shooter in America and will be highly sought after whether he stays in the draft or not. You can disagree with Otzelberger’s way of going about it. Sure, he could've taken the risk. There’s an argument to be made either way. But I’d highly recommend trusting the coach who has led Iowa State to the best five year stretch in program history. Momcilovic’s shooting can’t be replaced but Otzelberger can absolutely still put together a great team without him.

Fans can rest knowing Otz has a plan for every scenario.

My two cents.
