Despite all of this, isu is still a very good school. If my kids want to go there, I’ll bite my lip and support them.

Will not argue you there, it is a good school and it is still a top-tier public university. I'd handle that x1,000 times better than if my kids wanted to go to Nebraska or another Big 12 school. ISU is almost the Northwestern of the Big 12 per se.
Actually, your point was the attendance in Carver was directly tied to us sucking right now, which apparently, you were proven wrong.
You guys are better at booing, that is for certain. It's impossible to watch a game played at Hilton with the sound on. Life's gotta suck when you think everyone, including impartial officials, is always out to get you.
And most are not going to an 8pm game on a week night. Sunday is the last home game it is 6:30pm on a Sunday evening. talk about terrible time and day.
50k BS! Lucky if 30k. As I stated I tried getting rid of 2 tickets on stub hub and giving away free and no one and I mean no one wanted them. If my wife were not a graduate would not even have the tickets, and yes she quits going when it gets below like 55 degrees or it is raining or snowing. Awe and it rained all weekend.
I have a very hard time believing that any school of any worth allows enrollment to exceed the seating capacity of the room where the class is being taught. I would highly suspect any administration that allowed that to happen.
Don’t forget the conference and bowl reps that have it for the clowns. Didn’t they have a petition demanding that is be invited to the Alamo Bowl?
Iowa accepts 84% of applicants. ISU 87%. Considering they admit thousands more each year that seems trivial.
LOL, let's not get carried away...the Northwestern of the Big 12
I was told there was waaaaaay more demand than tickets at ISU, these numbers can't be right.
Holy crap. What?
If true, that doesn't say much for the other schools in the Big 12. I've read that K-State, Okie State, Texas Tech are basically 4-year jucos, but even with the qualifier of "almost" that's a bold statement.
Big 12 schools are not known for academics, I believe that Iowa State and Oklahoma are the only schools in the conference with any form of accreditation
I’ve been told that and I’m not sure how believable that is considering the trend in enrollment. I was also told ISU’s is close to 90% which would follow the trend a little more closely, IMO
You would be wrong. ISU, UT and KU are AAU members if that's what you're talking about.
Just from an outsider looking in, the iowa AD has for a long time taken your fan base for granted. They don't seem to care about what the fans want and just assume that people will continue to donate and buy tickets. Pollard cannot afford to do that at ISU. No doubt ISU has a loyal fanbase, but the number of diehards that show up no matter what is not enough to fill the stadium and he needs to do everything possible to make gameday the best possible experience.

Iowa made $130.7 million
Iowa State $82.66 million
These numbers likely do not include the new Big Ten contract money.

Why would Iowa have done all the Kinnick and Carver upgrades if they don’t care about the fan experience? The fact remains that Iowa as far outspent isu on the fan and student athlete experience yet clown fans will never admit it.
Their little bro syndrome would never allow that,
Yet for those games at Kinnick even with out sell outs 95% of them had an attendance over 61500. Why is that significant it is max capacity of Jack Trice which unless UNI or Iowa is playing hasn't been a sell out minus one other team. I love when ISU fans rip Iowa football attendance when it's down still bring more fans than JT holds. It'd be like Iowa fans mocking Michigan for not filling up the Big House though they still had 80-90K+ fans show.
Nope, the little bro syndrome that isu fans suffer from dictates that only % of capacity arguments are valid.
Every school you've ever heard of is accredited. If you don't understand the basics of accreditation, perhaps you shouldn't insult the academic levels of major institutions.
Texas is a near-elite school. ISU and Kansas are AAU, but lowly rated within that cohort.
ISU is a lower rated school than every B1G member other than Nebraska. But still a solid school that is rated higher than nearly every B12 school.
Texas is the only Big 12 school that carries weight academically.
Every school is regionally accredited. That's like the base level accreditation, if you don't have that you're pretty much months away from closing. It's not by any means a benchmark for excellence. It's a benchmark for existence.
Nice try. The level of talent on the roster in Fry's final years was really bad, so to imply that KF underachieved with a cupboard full of talent is either stupidity or just lying.
Apparently you missed the sarcasm in my post. Pretty sure many hawk fans actually believe the part of my post you bolded though. Also pretty sure the level of talent that Campbell inherited was probably similar to level of talent Ferentz inherited.
That is an awful lot of ifs and also giving ISU way too much credit IMO. The attendance is good for ISU when the team average or above average and that will not change because as you said 10$ tickets. Selling $10 tickets is not sustainable either if they want to keep up with the Jones'. Iowa higher ticket prices also allow them to compete in the facility arms race and in turn has improved our recruiting efforts the last 2 years, which should in turn improve results on the field. I get what you are saying and do not disagree with you per se, however; what they are doing is not sustainable and kind of sad that I paid more for a state high school basketball game the other day than I would have to pay to go to a D1 P5 football game.
What is this $10 ticket myth? Apparently you haven’t read the other posts in this thread outlining ticket prices for ISU. The cheapest entry price for season tickets is $25 per game for the worst seats in the stadium across 8 sections of the corners and part of endzone. Other than student sections, all sections inbetween the end zones are $475 per season ticket. That’s $67 per game. There’s not this huge gap in ticket pricing that you hawk fans keep believing
Bottom line is Campbell looks like a Buck-Toothed Beaver-Weasel.
Does that include a $100 per seat per game contribution for seats between the 20s? If not, prices are very, very different.
Again, this has been covered in this thread already. Seats between the 20s at Jack Trice require a donation of anywhere between $500-$5,000 annually. My 4 season tickets on lower level 25 yard line require $1,000 annual donation. The only seats between the 20s that are at $500 level are high up in top 1/2 of upper deck.
