I know it's hypothetical, and Iowa is dumb. But even I know they aren't that dumb.
EMAW inbred. See you don't need sheep to entertain yourself. Troll posts on a team you don't care abouts fan site are almost the same, except it you touching yourself instead of having to chase down some poor defenseless barnyard animal
at first I thought OP had the worst post ever, but then I read this gem. Not only is it stupid but its proably racist.
Isu simply has to work to make the Big 12 less fixed than it obviously is...but some other interesting realities the open policy of game fixing leads to...
-WVU fans wishing even more now they got acc or sec
-Louisville probably thankful big 12 picked wvu over them
-BYU maybe a little less amped about wanting to join

This is stupid as hell. You don't pick your conference out by fairness and equality of playing field. You go where it will best benefit you team. TCU and West Virginia didn't come here because they saw an equal playing field, they came here because they saw a way out of the Big East which was crumbling and more money was available.
It's not "time," it's just a dream. The only conferences worth going to are the ones who have no incentive to take us.
I do hope, at the least, as our GOR gets close to expiring, that we at least try to convince the B1G to take us. Because the Big 12 isn't going to last another round. Our best shot of getting out is to start the process, not to sit around and wait for others to jump ship and leave us in the cold.
Terrible odds either way, but I'm convinced ISU's only chance of survival in the Power 5 is a concerted, proactive attempt to leave the Big 12. Perhaps we could convince Kansas and Kansas State to join us as a joint package--an all or nothing offer.
This is looking ahead to 2024. The power football holds could show signs of decline by then. Because I feel not only are we in a bit of a football "bubble," but the sport longterm may be doomed. Younger generations care about it less, kids are starting to play later for fear of injury, high school kids are dying on the field from hits and the concussion research appears more and more damning. We need to invest in all sports (especially basketball) and position ourselves for a future that may see more revenue splitting off to other sports, or even evaporate in general.

I hear the Big East is looking for schools. And just a reminder that the fans of the teams in the bottom half of EVERY conference think that there is a giant conspiracy afloat to help out the teams at the top of the conference. This isn't exclusive to the Big 12 and ISU. If ISU moved to the Big Ten they'd just feel that the Big Ten was favoring Ohio State and screwing the little guys.

I am sure there are some all-white Christian DII or DIII programs that would be ahppy to have you in the stands cheering for them. Your post was truly terrifying by the way. I literally shuddered at my desk.
