Ali Farokhmanesh was a shooting star that catapulted Northern Iowa to the Sweet 16 a decade and a half ago. Now, he’s embarking on his first head coaching job at Colorado State.

@ianrsacks.bsky.social explains why he’s a home-run hire for the Rams. #MWMBB | #CSURams

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.
