Dave Wannstedt says he has heard ISU and Kansas to Big Ten

Nothing but silence today from national media sources. Someone else would have confirmed or leaked. Days of silence are not good for Cloneholes.

They don’t teach simple concepts such as sample size at ISU. I guess they probably do but it’s over their heads
It’s like for years when talking about head to head they’d only compare from 98’ on the head to head rivalry record. Whatever fits their narrative. Use to be talk of how hard their SOS was now one year during a pandemic thanks in large part to 3 games vs OU and Texas they can’t stop talking about their ratings.
 
Here’s a gem from cyclone fanatic by a guy named bcclone:

”If we do land in the big ten after this year and we have a season where we are in the CCG (especially if we win it); how ticked off will the Iowa fans be when OSU has the schedules moved around so they can play ISU right away?”

Lotion sales are way up in Ames I have heard. As are the kleenex in high demand.
 
You never win arguments with lil bros. Nothing is rational.
You can't win an argument if you avoid the facts. Or in this case the data. You can try to explain why things are the way they are, but you can't argue with the raw data. We don't need to go down this road again as it's been widely discussed in other threads.

You are using one data point in a messed up year. You don’t have the history, tradition, fanbase, etc. eat shit
 
In response I’ve asked multiple times. What were the number like in 19’, 18’ or the previous 5-10 years? Funny never a response. I wonder why???
Rather than make baseless arguments, why don't you go get the raw data and post the results. I won't argue with what the data says. it's people that say things that aren't based in data that I have issues with.

I am using one year of data, because that's what I started collecting at the beginning of last year. At that time I had no idea how the numbers would turn out or even if we were going to have a full season, which we pretty much did.

Do you think when these commissioners and ADs make a decision on expansion do they look at a skewed year or the whole financial picture with years of data? Hell when any small business makes a decision do they make it based on the year 2020 or a bigger sample size during a normal year?

Here is data going back to 2012 in TV ratings. You can click by year below by clicking the years hyper link. To make it Easy for you since I am a swell guy, use Ctrl-F then type in Iowa or Iowa state then compare going back to 2012. Let us know the results, thanks!

You’re doing it wrong. Only include Iowa’s 2 or 3 best seasons in games where they played Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan at night on ABC.

I know where the data is. Its turning it into a database with consistent school names and dealing with different format of the data from year to year is where the work comes in. For 2020 I did all that and created a series of pivot tables so you can quickly analyze the data and view it in mutiple ways, like network, time slot, connection at that time slot, etc.

Psyclone, more like Psycho.

So you have all this data yet you still believe a premise that makes no sense?

I have only put in the work for 2020 because it was the current year when I started moving it to a spreadsheet week by week. I may go back and grab historical data, but that sounds more like a winter task

That's a lot of work for data that any rational person would deem worthless due to the strange circumstances and ridiculously small sample size. Cool that it fits you're narrative, bummer that the people making decisions won't be that myopic.
 
I consider…how hilarious this thread will be to look at after the B1G officially invites ISU…so much fodder…so fun. My god…the meltdown will be existential. Luckily, I’m a very patient person…a few months will go by very quickly…it’s going to be well worth the wait!

How many Iowa fans are trolling on your forum currently? I honestly don't know because I have never posted on another team's board.

Only a delusional cyclone fan would take one small data sample and project it out as a factual representation. Then again……they win 9 games last season and now they are an elite program that are national championship contenders and other P5 conferences are in a bidding war to get them to join.

Just out of curiosity on your eyeball data....how many people watched clone basketball last year compared to Iowa?

Can’t wait to wear an ISU shirt around places ironically like I’m wearing something from Western Kentucky.
 
It may have helped Iowa State get more viewers, but it doesn't explain why Iowa's average numbers were not very good.
Here's the only numbers that matter, what is ESPN saying your worth per year w/o UT and OU? Feel free to quote old Bob on it if you need help.

Iowa has beaten Iowa State 5 times in a row. That means they will continue to beat Iowa State every time. Those are FACTS! RAW DATA DOESN'T LIE! I am only using the last 5 meetings because that is when I started to examine the data.

Lol...you don’t know shit.
 
This one needs to go on every page in this thread. What were we talking about again?
I think it was about something people wish would happen, but there really isn't a snowball's chance in hell of that coming true.

That, and hot chicks with boobs.....

Goddamn, you guys are desperate to score any nominal point with Iowa fans.

Get a life. Jeezus.
 
Lol...you don’t know shit.

This is a reoccurring theme with that fan base. A 9-3 season punctuated with a NY6 bowl win over an overage Oregon team who finished 4-3 and Iowa State is now royalty in college football. Pfffft.

At least delusional Nebraska fans can fall back on once being a national powerhouse. Iowa State is one of the worst P5 football programs in college football history. Lol. Unbelievable.

Just like he won't post the numbers from their game on CBS Sports or the uni game after they are over even though more people have CBS Sports than btn.

Let's post game by game ratings as the season goes on. It will be fun.

It is amazing.

Husker fans think they’re going to win the next five National titles.

ISU fans think they’ve won the last my five.
 
Big XII is dead...ISU is just one of their eight pallbearers. Eight pallbearers are impotent, and will leave no descendants. Extinction by the end of the decade.

Ummm…I take it statistics wasn’t a strong subject for you growing up? What the hell is this!!??
 
In other words….you didn’t do historical data because it would prove Iowa’s tv ratings are better than ISU.
No that is not why. I started 2020 early in the season with no idea of the result. I was most interested in how FS1 affected ratings when I started.
 
1. Because they want to…more GREAT football inventory generally means more money and eyeballs.
2. If Fox pays everyone the same amount they are getting now, then they aren’t taking a pay cut.
3. Added teams will bring 30-50 million with them for the conference as money taken from the Big 12/OUUT settlement. That’s 60-100 million essentially transferred from ESPN to Fox.
Why did you capitalize “great” in referencing iswho football?
