B1G/PAC 12 Partnership
- Thread starter jcal2001
- Start date
I would say once 2017 rolls around, the Iowa/ISU game will become pretty much non-existent. If the B1G plays 9 conference games, most of the teams will play 2 cupcake teams and stop scheduling games with other BCS programs
Because Iowa or any B1G outside Ohio State would not be man enough to go through a schedule like you are describing.
Oh, BTW, this is exactly what ISU's schedule was this year.

Anyone that thinks the ISU/Iowa game will end is delusional. It won't happen, heads would roll. Think Michigan or USC will stop playing Notre Dame? Nope. You want to be in a big-time conference you better be ready to play big-time games.
In the article, Delaney says the B1G will likely rethink its move to a 9-game conference schedule. This will likely play a big role.
This.
If it does end it will be because Iowa is afraid to play ISU (just like last time they quit the series) and that is the only reason it will end. Look no further than hawk fans in this thread afraid of the very schedule ISU played THIS year.
This. Besides Iowa can find plenty of cupcakes in the B1G, just like Minny this yeeaaa, whoa wait?
We're going to talk **** about Iowa on here and how they suck.
If you don't like it, leave.
ISU, a Pac-12 school, & another B1G school - we'd only have one cupcake!
Times are a changing, and one better learn to embrace them and accept the new challenges. Oh, but some fear change (any change).
I'm not sure it will either, and of course we all hope it doesn't. But schedules will certainly change with all of the conference realignment and partnerships like this. Should be interesting to watch.
The big 12 should look at doing something like this too. Do 8 conf games, and maybe get a deal done with the ACC to guarantee we all have 9 BCS opponents a year to keep our tv partners happy.
Plus it's not likely Iowa is going to get lined up with a marquee Pac-12 program like Oregon/Stanford/USC. The quality of team falls off pretty steeply after those 3.
Hawk fans are falling on tough times in the near future. Either keep the ISU game and risk playing a difficult schedule along with a PAC 12 team or drop the game and never hear the end of it from Cyclone fans how you had to drop the mighty Cyclones as you can't handle a Man's schedule.
I would say that this will indeed kill the Big 10 going to a 9 game schedule...this would actually benefit Iowa imo. Would you rather play ASU or Oregon St or Colorado or Ohio St and Whisky more often?
Ummm...you might want to take a peek at Iowa's schedule starting in 2013. The party will be over in Iowa City.
I'd be really surprised if this doesn't eventually happen. I suppose the SEC could make an agreement with the ACC which would kinda leave the Big 12 with no one to partner with (I'd be a little surprised if the Big East existed as a football conference by 2017)
