Iowa State football coach Matt Campbell supports athletic director Jamie Pollard’s decision to cut coaches salaries and eliminate bonuses in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Pollard announced the plan last week to make up for a five million dollar loss following the cancellation of the Big 12 and NCAA basketball tournaments.

Campbell says it was a move to benefit the entire department.

Campbell says he met with his staff to discuss the plan.

Campbell says he has been going over different possibilities for what the preseason might look like but has not even thought about the possibility of not having a season.
