Hy-Vee Big 4 Classic Ending

So you won't go see Iowa State because your ticket has Drake vs Creighton on it as well?
I just won't go to drake vs creighton, and i'll consider the cost that is priced for 2 games to be overpriced (and that is the reason not to go)
Plus with this hypothetical event it basically seems like we'd be saying "we're a midmajor".
That would be a cool tourney.
I personally like the in-state games and would be in favor of a 2-for-1 with UNI.
You can buy single game tickets to the Big 12 tournament. Plus, you're comparing the Big 4 to the Big 12 tournament.... which I don't need to even say wouldn't compare.
I'm a college basketball fan. I'm not a fan of spending the entire day in a horrible venue to watch a likely horrible game when there will be better games to watch.
I'd like to see us work something out here, with the added bonus of making Iowa look bad in the deal. How about 2 for 1 with Drake playing at Hilton and WFA. The get a 2 for 1 with UNI playing at Hilton and maybe Cedar Rapids. Drop our game right on Iowa's back door.
I really don't mind a couple of these winnable neutral court games with an ISU crowd lean. Great practice for the post season. Playing neutral games in a multipurpose facility is where you have to get it done in March.

Considering that one ticket is over 50% of the cost of my entire season ticket package for ISU basketball, again you're comparing apples and oranges.
Sorry to dissapoint, but Creighton is no longer considered a mid-major. Otherwise a mid major team from a mid major conference has won two national championships very recently.
The only single game B12 tourney ticket is the championship. Definitely agree the B12 is better.
How about we setup the normal ISU/Iowa game as a two night tournament rather than a single game? Rotate Hilton/Carver and have ISU and Iowa play Drake and UNI. Winners play the next night. Might have some years where I ISU and Iowa don't play, but I think it'd still be worth it.
Apparently being a true basketball fan is a thing of the past. I love my Cyclones...don't get me wrong, but to complain about having an additional cost added on to be able to watch a D1 basketball game is beyond me. It's basketball people....the greatest sport on earth! (now enter the football fans)
The mere possibility of non-con MVC game probably isn't doable.
And that team isn't creighton. I don't give 2 ***** about creighton
You don't want to see McDermott roaming the sidelines to bring back all those classic memories?
I would not mind doing this. Even change it so we only play each team once every three years. Keep the Big 4 Classic name and tell Iowa to EABOD.
Thank god that’s ending. Always hated the Big 4 classic. Only ever went in college. Way too overpriced to watch us play a crappy drake team or UNI. I don’t blame Iowa one bit for ending it. Why would they want that with a 20 game conference schedule, on top of playing in ACC challenge and a November tournament?
If Drake or UNI don’t want to come to Ames every year then I don’t see why we need to play them at all.

Moving forward it makes a lot more sense for us to do home and homes with teams like Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Creighton, Missouri, Wichita St., and Nebraska.
I kind of expect to get something worked out with Drake where most, if not all, the games are in Hilton.

So, its just a little cost per year, and its just down the road, i assume you buy drake season tickets?
