I'm sure they do. It's not like anyone outside of Iowa / big 12 watches Iowa State games anyway (Not that I want it that way, it is just how it is unfortunately)
Future Big 12 FB Opponents/Schedule Announced
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
LOL get real. not playing K-State for one GD year isn't eroding our regional strength around KC.
Kansas City has no meaning outside of the MBB tournament.
I dont, but maybe they do.
But there is a distinction, be ours is the longest never interrupted.
Ours is like going into a game and making every shot with no misses.
Other rivalries are like hitting a couple more shots, but missing some.
Its like going into a game and the QB not missing a single pass, and ending the game 100%.
It is a rare thing, and should be something of value.
not at all.
not playing k-state for one year in 2027 is going to do absolutely nothing to recruiting lol.
Really easy to point out the people who are for conference realignment / don't care about the history of college football in this forum
We play at KU the year we skip KSU. We should be fine for the valuable Kansas recruiting
people need to let that sh*t go.
you cant b*tch about being left out and having no money and also b*tch about the new teams/scheduling.
whether you like it or not, this is the new normal and I for one, don't care who we play as long as we have access to the playoff and win football games.
My guy, you proved my point with not even knowing how many years in a row they’ve played.
We would get the outrage if the series was OVER forever, like bedlam seems to be. We are trying to wrap our minds how adults are throwing a fit over ONE YEAR.
We shouldn't lose any sleep over not playing KSU in 2027. I don't think many KSU fans are even giving it a 2nd thought.
I would much rather face KSU in one of the upcoming B12 championship games than worry about keeping some 100-year old playing streak alive. All streaks come to an end. Relish the fact that you will hopefully be alive to see it end.

Pitt and VT are WVU's national rivalries. had they not been protected; it would be TV ratings lost.
For travel considerations WVU and Cinn should be an annual game. To say WVU fans are upset about the new scheduling is putting it mildly.
ISU v Kstate: No brainer.
Texas tech v baylor and TCU-no brainer
WVU-cinn-no brainer
Just total bs.

value /văl′yoo͞/
noun

My read on the situation here: Competitive balance was the primary objective, but they were still open to protected rivalries. That said, protective rivalries had to be minimized in order to maximize competitive balance.
I think there were multiple scenarios for possible protected rivalries. One involved protecting all in-state rivalries, and another involved other possible rivalry parings. When in-state rivalries was preferred, it eliminated other options as the number was capped. Doubtful the in-state scenario was the preference of our AD.
I'm really aggravated that ISU-KSU will be interrupted, while also respecting that the conference placed a high priority on competitive balance (which is non-existent in other large conferences). Both things can be true.

How does anyone schedule for "competitive balance"
That is also a dumb excuse.
No one knows what teams will be good and what teams wont in 2027. Last I checked ISU was picked to be in the bottom of the conference this year, and I believe TT was picked to be challenging for the conf title. And that was just prior to This season. So saying we scheduled for competitive balance 4 years from now is stupid. You schedule to play everyone as much as possible, period. With that you can easily protect a game or 3 for everyone and still play everyone in the conference at least every other year.
9/11!! JFK assassination!! we landed on the fcking moon for crying out loud!!
Honestly WVU and Cinci not being protected is as big of a miss as ISU-KSU. You guys travel enough as is, it'd be nice if they would've helped you out a little bit.
It’s not of matter of being for/against. Conference realignment is our reality.
My priority is not ending up like Oregon State/Washington State
