Campbell agrees to contract extension at Iowa State

Sports

February 8th, 2021 by admin

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State’s three-time Big 12 Coach of the Year Matt Campbell has agreed to a new eight-year contract, extending his current deal by three years. His new pact runs through Dec. 31, 2028.

Campbell led the Cyclones to the most-successful season in school history while navigating a world-wide pandemic last season. ISU advanced to and won its first-ever New Year’s Six Bowl game with a 34-17 victory over Oregon in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl.

The Iowa State Athletics Department also agreed to provide Campbell a total of $3 million for staff salary enhancements over the next three years. The department will soon open its $90 million Sports Performance Center, which will house the Cyclone football team and all of the program’s support services. That building opens its doors in a few weeks.

“Coach Campbell has always put investments in his student-athletes and football staff before his own personal gains,” Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said. “That is the essence of servant leadership and is what makes Coach Campbell so successful.”

Campbell raised the program to unprecedented heights after his Cyclones registered a 9-3 record and finished first in the Big 12 regular-season standings with a school-record eight league wins (8-1). ISU spent much of the 2020 campaign in the Top 10 rankings for the College Football Playoff and finished ninth in the final AP poll.

“I am extremely thankful to our President, Dr. (Wendy) Wintersteen and our Athletic Director, Jamie Pollard, for supporting our staff and program,” Campbell said. “The University has made a terrific commitment to Cyclone football and I’m thrilled to continue to move this program forward.”

Terms of Campbell’s new contract will be announced at a later date.

Sports

February 8th, 2021 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa freshman Caitlin Clark was named Big Ten Women’s Basketball Freshman of the Week, the conference announced Monday.

Clark has tallied 14 Big Ten Weekly honors on the year, including nine freshman honors, three Big Ten Player of the Week honors, and two Player of the Week Honor Roll nods.

Clark recorded consecutive 30-point games against No. 11/13 Ohio State and No. 17 Indiana last week. In the Hawkeyes matchup against the Buckeyes, Clark was one assist shy of a double-double. She averaged five assists and four rebounds in the two games.

The West Des Moines, Iowa, native now tied with former Hawkeye Megan Skouby on Iowa’s all-time freshman scoring list with 414 points on the season and sits in fourth on the Iowa all-time freshman assist list with 103.

Clark and the Hawkeyes head to Lincoln, Nebraska this week to take on the Cornhuskers inside Pinnacle Bank Arena. Date, tip time, and TV designation have yet to be set.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

UNDATED (AP) — Tom Brady threw two of his three touchdown passes to Rob Gronkowski and the Tampa Bay defense frustrated Patrick Mahomes to lead the Buccaneers to an 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night for Brady’s record seventh Super Bowl title. Brady connected twice in the first half with Gronkowski to give the pair an NFL record 14 playoff TD passes and then added another to Antonio Brown to stake the Bucs to a big halftime lead that the defense had no problem holding. Mahomes was unable to get the Chiefs into the end zone for the first time in his career. He went 26 for 49 for 270 yards and two interceptions.

UNDATED (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Sunday night that his “heart bleeds” for those injured in a car accident involving his son, assistant coach Britt Reid, that left two children with injuries and one of them hospitalized in critical condition. The crash occurred Thursday night, two days before the Chiefs were due to leave for the Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida. Kansas City wound up losing 31-9 to the Buccaneers on Sunday night. Britt Reid did not travel to the Super Bowl. Police are investigating whether the younger Reid was impaired before the accident.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Super Bowl, the NFL’s signature event, looked nothing like any of the previous 54. About 25,000 fans were allowed to attend the game with 7,500 of those being vaccinated healthcare workers. Another 30,000 cardboard cutouts filled empty seats to create space and meet social distancing mandates. Masks were mandated but enforcing the policy was difficult if not impossible for the thousands gathered inside and outside Raymond James Stadium to watch the hometown Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Monika Czinani scored 16 and McKenna Warnock 10 with 15 rebounds. Cardano-Hillary scored 17 points for Indiana and Grace Berger 15.
