It is fun to watch Lucy yank the ball away from them again isn’t it?
Dave Wannstedt says he has heard ISU and Kansas to Big Ten
- Thread starter Mountain Man Hawk
- Start date
Who cares what it does to the business for Fox? Fox will ignore all of that for the honor of adding isu. No really this is what clown fans want the world to believe. They lose it when anyone asks a obvious question.
Don’t laugh at clown fans for this. I can here crybaby Pollard screaming “it’s not fair, I’m the Bear”.
Has anyone else been confused as to why a Fox analyst would publically leak something that Fox would likely have wanted to keep private?
You are far too logical for this conversation. I'm sure they divulged their plans to Coach Wanny.
How many times have you finished in the top 25 in the schools history and now all of a sudden you're going to most of the time? I advise you to pump the breaks a little bit.
What do you think drives revenue Einstein? You are so close to grasping this just keep at it.
Two points make it conceivable:
1) Adding these five schools to the B1G/ACC/Pac 12 alliance is five more votes against the SEC.
2) Unlike in SEC country, academics/research is still bigger than athletics for the B1G/ACC/Pac 12. There have been recent comments from the B1G that may have signaled the move.

Historically???? Every single one of them is better than Moo U
You dumb mother fvcker, you have a track that’s been good .7% of the time. Don’t act like you belong
Hence the emergency meeting at Fox and the decision to bring Wannstedt into the loop.
Its all part of the plan -- (a) Wannstedt goes public with the B10 expansion plan to add KU/ISU (b) fans and alumni at B10 schools register their outrage of such a plan (c) the backlash causes B10 presidents to reconsider and eventually scrap the plan (d) Fox is happy. Brilliant!!
Yeah, conferences hate schools that bring thousands upon thousands to bowl games and conference championships.
I mean Kansas City just hates it when we get to the championship of the Big 12. Bowls can't stand inviting us due to all the empty seats.
Sheeesh.
Hey now we don’t want to bring logic to this delusional clown fan argument. I mean that might actually be a reason why they get the revenue they do. I know call me crazy, but maybe just maybe this might be a reason.
No back to clown fan delusional thinking.
You don’t move the needle money wise, viewer’s wise, tradition wise.
ISU isn't bringing any conference championships. Winning the conference tournament is not winning the conference championship. Also, the people making these decisions don't give two sh1ts about bowl attendance. LOL if you think bowl attendance matters in the slightest.
Wannstedt is 100% full of sh1t here. This isn't happening.
If you're worried about that, as it stands now, drop Iowa and add ISU.
This is kind of a chicken and the egg discussion. ISU caught lighting in a bottle with Matt Campbell. History tells us that without him they go back to being the below average program they were before he arrived. They're in a tough spot. He's shown a lot of loyalty but the only way he stays beyond the next year or so is if ISU finds a major conference home, presumably the B1G. He might leave regardless and I don't know that the B1G is willing to add a team knowing that the lynchpin of ISU's historical success is based upon keeping him in place. Again, the program has no history of success outside of the past couple of years with Campbell at the helm and they don't really add anything else. The basketball team was good a while ago but that might have been the worst team in the country last year. The B1G actually brought on a program that had that longer history of football success without bringing anything else and it's been pretty much a disaster. I just don't think that the B1G wants another Nebraska to deal with.
Is Kansas City willing to pay $55m year after year hoping and praying the clowns will keep performing at that level?
Who again is going to make a $55m bet that isu will generate this kind of value year after year after year after year?
Yes, drop Iowa for ISU because ISU had ONE season where they were a little bit better. Take your lame trolling elsewhere.
I won't believe it until it actually happens and even then I won't believe it.
But isu isn't just a stray, it is a three legged mutt.
Conferences like any team in a bowl game since the money goes to the respective conference then is dished out to all conference members.
Bowls love it when teams that rarely make it to bowls have good years, they’ll bring the fans. Conferences want teams that either do it almost yearly or can bring in revenue. ISU does neither.
Sure thing. You guys finished in the top 25 for the 3rd time ever in your school's history last season so we should just expect it to be the norm now.....
Obviously the article was written by realignment expert Dave Wannstedt.
Is there a theoretical way this happens if ISU and Kansas agree to permanently take a smaller share of revenue than the current members? Would they be desperate enough to say, "we understand we can't add the value you need, what if we accept a smaller share of revenue than current member schools?"
Not sure if that's even possible. But in theory it kind of makes sense to me. They already do it with Texas and OU anyways.

Hey now having 3 top25 finishes over the last 120 years has equate to being worth $55m year after year after year after year doesn’t it? Clown fans sure think so.
From strictly a football perspective, of course it makes no sense for the league to take leftovers from the implosion of the bigxii.
We know football won't be the only factor, though.
What's good for U of I and what's good for the league is what I care about. Don't see what the mustache is claiming would support that.

During a COVID year at that. The whole season is one big *
I won't concede that ISU was better last year. They didn't play one team with a defense like Iowa.
Right? They've lost 5 in a row and caught some breaks last year. They were good and will be good this year but I don't believe they end up in the top 15 or all of their pre season all Americans will finish on an aa team. I will gladly eat crow if I'm wrong.
