Hello and welcome to the Northwest Bank Studios for the Daily Clone on a Thursday. Game week

isn't technically here, but it feels like it is here. Our normal Tuesday pressers before a game

happened today to make life easier for the media that are traveling to Dublin, and we appreciate

Iowa State for doing that. We've got so much content we'll get to over the next week leading up to the game day.

But today we want to start with the Big 12 news from yesterday.

Injury reports now required in football, men's and women's basketball.

Football teams will be required to submit reports in the three days leading up to game day. Here's Matt Campbell on the rule change. I don't even know enough about it to probably comment. So, you know, I feel like we've always tried to do right. Whatever that looks like, we'll, you know, comply with whatever. I don't know enough about it. Kind of Matt talked to me a little bit about it this morning. But, you know, I think that's good.

It sounds like that's what college football is getting to.

So, you know, we'll roll with it.

I think the reality of that is, you know, we'll see where it goes.

To me, what's the clarity of the rules?

What's the clarity of happening?

And you just navigate that process.

I would certainly hope that whatever reasoning I know,

sports gambling, all those kind of things are behind it.

And if it protects our student athletes,

and I'm all for it.

Fall Camp isn't done yet,

but today is the last time we'll talk to the team in the States.

I asked Matt Campbell and all of the other players we spoke with,

what's the biggest thing that they've learned about the cyclones in fall camp? Last time we talked, I really felt

very positive about the camp that we've had. You know, and I still feel really good about it.
