Ranks Iowa #50 overall and 13th in the conference, huh?
That tells me this isn’t just about the sports that matter and pay the bills at Iowa, where we are above average to good without exception. So for me it’s fart noises.
That list is full of a lot of garbage...,
Many examples including this one that garnered a big ranking from minor sports while the two that matter most stunk. I bet Arkansas fans are going to hang a banner with this ranking!
20. Arkansas
Best sports: women’s indoor and outdoor track & field (national champions). Trajectory: steady. The Razorbacks have been between 16th and 23rd every year in the five-year period, admirable consistency built on a track & field foundation (moreso the women at the moment). The Hogs also scored well in baseball and women’s golf. The glam sports, football and men’s basketball, are not pulling their weight.
Why do we field teams in “garbage” sports? Are we only in the bottom 25% of P5 teams because the Iowa administration understands that “garbage” sports don’t matter?
What banners did Iowa hang in non-garbage sports?
Where would you rank Iowa if you were only considering “the sports that matter and pay the bills” (which is solely men’s football and men’s basketball)?
This should be good....
Follow up question: Should Iowa field teams in a sports that don’t matter? If so, why? And to save you the trouble of whining about Title IX, just consider men’s sports when you answer the question.

Athletics has been a component of higher education for a long time. Now $$$ has come into certain sports and there are so many unforeseen consequences....

Any way you cut it, Iowa has not been very good.
Here’s another nugget. Illinois fans should be pumped about their athletics!!!!
37. (tie) Illinois
Best sport: women’s volleyball. Trajectory: steady. The Illini have their niche strengths, from volleyball to golf to tennis to gymnastics. What they don’t have, and haven’t had at any point in the last five years, is any input from football and men’s basketball. That’s a problem.
