This thread is hilarious. Iowa made a living playing in the historically poor Big 10 West and the old Big 10, before adding Nebraska or going to divisions had a lot of tough years too. Iowa won the league a couple of times, but when they did, guess what, they avoided the "co champion" and didn't have to play a championship game. And now the Big 12 is having a down year, and here they are. Look in the mirror Iowa fans. Playing in a poor league, Iowa has been there, done that, got the T-shirt and the hat.
