That's an emotional decision, not a good business decision.
Nebraska can get bent if they ever try to come back. Maybe NDSU and BYU if we had to add 2. Like I've said, I love the 10 team league but if we HAD to add someone or if we have to replace a team that leaves, those 2 would be fine additions IMO.
Thank god you're not the commissioner.
I only like this idea if we rebrand to the Leaders and Legends Conference.
Keep the Big12 the way it is but create a scheduling and tv rights alliance with the PAC.
100% understand the hate for Missouri, Colorado, and Nebraska after they left. Losing long time rivalry games has been the biggest shame of college football. We lost 3 of our 6 longest standing rivals. Count me as one that would angrily take them back. Its amazing to me we still have less games with the Texas schools than a Minnesota team that we've played once since the dawn of football.
| 1 | Kansas State | 104 |
| 2 | Missouri | 103 |
| 3 | Nebraska | 101 |
| 4 | Kansas | 99 |
| 5 | Oklahoma | 85 |
| 6 | Colorado | 65 |
| 7 | Iowa | 64 |
| 8 | Drake | 61 |
| 9 | Oklahoma State | 55 |
| 10 | Minnesota | 23 |
It is cool when we play KSU it gets more attention every year that it's the oldest continuous series in the sport.
Why would you ever want Nebraska back? They are horrible at basketball, horrible at football, don't add anything with regards to academic prestige AND they left on their own accord because they essentially threw a hissy fit about the LHN.
Give me one good reason Nebraska should ever get another chance with the Big 12 if it came down to it.
I really like the "idea" of a scheduling / tv alliance with the Pac. But only if we benefit monetarily (and obviously we wouldn't agree to something we'd lose money on).
I just think it'd be really cool to have guaranteed Pac games.
Because we would absolutely wallop the piss out of them the way things are right now.
If NDSU is North Dakota State, then its a non starter. Or is it ND?
If the financials worked out I'd pull the trigger...but it'd have to be solid $$$. They're a problem child in the B1G too which should give any P5 Commissioner pause.
Pre Larry Scott, I would've been 100% on board. But that guy is a charlatan. Until that conference gets' back to an administration with integrity, I wouldn't even consider them.
North Dakota State. Just out of curiosity, why is it a non-starter? They have the same amount of players drafted as ISU in the NFL and have had 1 soon to be 2 QBs drafted in the first round.
What is people’s fascination with the west coast teams? Pre realignment that would have made more sense but we are an eastern focused conference now. We should be trying to get teams in the middle of the country like Louisville, Memphis, Cincinnati, or Arkansas.
The PAC 12 is out in no mans land.
Salty, I love ya, but you are batsh*t crazy if you think adding ToE is anywhere close to a good idea.
Dealing with them and the parade of morons once a year is bad enough. I don’t need them anymore intertwined into ISU athletics.
Still don't want either of them back. Mizzou has always been a cesspool for many reasons both athletically and academically and I still say Nebraska can go **** themselves. If we expanded 2 more teams geographically what would make sense is find a couple schools somewhere between ISU and WVU. I've always thought Louisville and Cincinnati made a lot of sense, maybe even Memphis. I may be a little jaded still for those 2 schools leaving the Big 12 and nearly causing it to blow up where we could have been possibly looking at having to join a non-power 5 conference so yes **** them and the horse they rode in on if they ever want to come crawling back with their tail tucked between their legs.
Because theyre a national brand that drives viewers and therefore revenue. They have a century of history with a good chunk of the big 12. They add another close road game for the fans.
Anyone thinking that Nebraska wouldnt be a great add is thinking with their heart and not evaluating it from a business perspective.
