Kirk's Big 10 and overall record

Wouldn't PSU be sharing their state with Pitt

And Temple.

Good point. That's why I used the word "influence". I'd like to think I know Iowa better than Pennsylvania. While there are always exceptions, it seems Iowa State kids (those who grew up ISU fans, their families are fans/grads) go to Iowa State, and vice versa, regardless of the record. Thus, the relative success of Iowa versus Iowa State doesn't seem to affect the influence each school has on the Iowa guys each are recruiting. Maybe the same holds true in Pennsylvania, it just seems like if Penn State wants a Pennsylvania guy, he's going to PSU over Pitt. I could be proven wrong.

Pennsylvania has almost 13MM people in the state. Iowa has just over 3MM people. PSU could have five major schools as competitors in the state of Pennsylvania and still have a bigger slice of the population pie than Iowa does with just ISU as the in state competition.

Another good point. Can't quibble with any of this. Just sorting out my opinions at the pace that I can type them out.
