HC Matt Campbell Helping Football Assistants After Iowa State Cut Salaries

With Iowa State mandating pay cuts for its football coaches amid the COVID-19 pandemic, head coach Matt Campbell has forfeited additional money that is getting distributed to his assistant coaches.

The Des Moines Register's Randy Peterson provided the details:

"According to documents the Register received through Iowa's Open Records Law, Campbell's 10% salary reduction between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, amounts to a total of $497,124 — $350,000 based on the reduction of his average of $3.5 million-a-year salary through Dec. 31, 2025, and an additional $147,000 to offset some of the reduction from an assistant coach salary pool.
