My guess is that the tOSU guy gets the job, but it's only a guess based on no insider information.

A little outside the box. Would be an interesting choice.

My thought as well. I hope he is passionate about sports, especially the big 3. Our luck we'd get the one flower-child in Cbus that is against the advancement of inter-collegiate athletics.

Honestly, sports isn't Iowa's biggest problem right now. Innovation and creativity is.

We have an absolutely terrible marketing department. The best we can come up with is, "The University For Iowa." What the Hell is that? Is that really the best we can do? It's embarrassing. Let's be honest, Iowa State is eating our lunch. Their, "Choose your Adventure" campaign has killed anything we've come up with, and just over the summer, they rolled out, "CampUs," a Iowa State camping themed campaign. I think that Iowa still thinks that they don't have to work for students, that they will just line up to get in here, and it has showed. We're no longer the state's largest university. We don't seem that concerned with good marketing. And our brand has suffered as a result.

We're in decline and that decline comes from the top. The next President had better be committed to working their ass off to bring the University back up to snuff.

Field hockey? Lacrosse? What's the third major sport?

You're kidding, right?
