Here are the eight categories that were utilized to determine the overall rankings.
History/Tradition – The history of the program
Media Exposure – Games on national television
Game Atmosphere – Includes attendance
Budget/Resources – Includes coaches’ salaries, recruiting budget, travel budget, private planes, cost of attendance, etc.
Buy Games – Programs who are bought the fewest number of times will rank first
Geographical Recruiting Base – Proximity to players
Facilities – Not just the arena, but also practice facilities, weight room, locker rooms, etc.
Selling Pros – Being able to sell not only NBA players, but also those who play overseas
Short cut for those who want the in-state schools.
6. IOWA STATE (38) – Hilton Magic is real. It began with Johnny Orr, who got the program rolling in the 1980s, and continued with Tim Floyd and Larry Eustachy. The Cyclones’ success was placed on hold until Fred Hoiberg led Iowa State to four NCAA Tournaments in five seasons. Fan support is terrific for a program that has only gone to one Final Four (1944) and has reached the NCAA tourney just nine times since 2000.
Where they win: “Fan base for sure. Hilton Magic. It’s second in the league behind Kansas. Fans travel and support it. Hilton Coliseum is the real deal.” – Big 12 head coach
The knock: “Definitely location. There’s a reason Fred Hoiberg went heavy on transfers and coaches have gone big with JUCOs. There’s just not much talent in the state.” – Big 12 assistant

11. Iowa (40) – Lute Olson took the Hawkeyes to five NCAA tournament appearances in his last five seasons, George Raveling went to a pair in three seasons and Tom Davis went nine times in his 13 years with the program. Steve Alford struggled in his eight years, going twice, Todd Lickliter went 0-for-3 and Fran McCaffery is 3-for-8 thus far. The lone category where Iowa ranks in the top half of the league is in being able to get kids into school.
Where they win: “The state has a lot of dogs named Carver. There’s no doubt that Iowa is the state school. It’s also easy to get kids into school, and keep them in.” – Big Ten head coach
The knock: “There aren’t a ton of players in Iowa, and you aren’t going into Chicago, Indiana or Ohio and beating guys for kids in those states.” – Big Ten head coach
