Under his leadership, athletics revenue exploded from $8 million to over $43 million, the budget ballooned to $140 million, ticket sales tripled, and staff grew from 50 to 250. His legacy includes forging strong ties with top coaches like Matt Campbell and T.J. Otzelberger, though Campbell’s recent move to Penn State adds complexity. As college sports evolve with Name, Image, and Likeness deals, the next AD will inherit a thriving foundation — but must adapt to a new era. Pollard’s exit marks the end of an era, but the Cyclones’ ascent is firmly in place. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
