    Big 10/Pac 12 scheduling agreement dead

    Moot. Plus you're missing the point then. You said "Iowa has been scheduling patseys for years." I don't know if you realized this, but Iowa can't control the Big 10 schedule. They can't opt out of those games. My point is they are probably scheduling (as in games they control) decently...

    Big 10/Pac 12 scheduling agreement dead

    So they should schedule 4 fringey-top 25 teams? Just because the Big 10 is down quite a bit compared to the Big 12? I'd be curious to see a ranking of non-conf SOS. Maybe Iowa would still be way low, but would be interesting. How many BCS-level teams are scheduling fringe-top 25 games nearly...

    Big 10/Pac 12 scheduling agreement dead

    Check your facts. ASU was a top 25 team in 2004. Arizona was ranked for part of 2009 and was borderline preseason 25 in 2010. Pitt was a preseason and post season top 25 team in 2008. Plus, if you understood anything about football scheduling, you'd know things are YEARS in advance. When...

    Big 10/Pac 12 scheduling agreement dead

    Yes, ISU's schedule was tougher. But what is the point of saying Iowa PURPOSELY plays a terrible schedule? That's thrown out all of the time by ISU fans, and makes no sense every time. What is Iowa supposed to do? Quit playing Big 10 teams? Those 8 games are locked in, no matter what. So...

    I agree.

    B1G/PAC 12 Partnership

    You're still not getting it. 1. If you're saying it's not a valid argument that Iowa can handle a tough schedule based on 2009's results, how can you make a valid argument on whether Iowa can handle a tough schedule on 2011's results? Neither of those team's are going to play 2013's schedule...

    ISU vs. Iowa dominance (for Clones21)

    Right. And not all of them would be bad decisions. Some would actually probably have some long-term return on investment. But especially once you bring everything up-to-date, well then you're giving these guys a raise and throwing a little extra into this pot and you end up with more expenses...

    ISU vs. Iowa dominance (for Clones21)

    Look, my point isn't that extra money would just be squandered by the ISU AD. It wouldn't. But it also isn't going to be pure increased results. Everybody here made the same argument about Longhorn Network. Texas has SO MUCH money an extra $20 million doesn't make any difference to them. The...

    ISU vs. Iowa dominance (for Clones21)

    Maybe. And maybe not too. I guarantee there are things that the ISU AD doesn't do simply because they can't afford it that they would if they had the money. And not all of those would necessarily "advance" the program. Example, maybe they replace the longest bus trip with a flight. Easier on...

    ISU vs. Iowa dominance (for Clones21)

    Except it isn't $5 million per team, for the extra six. Excluding Football, Basketball and Wrestling, Iowa spent $3.9 million TOTAL, on the rest of the men's sports, and $7.5 million totals on women's sports outside of BB and VB. So you have to spread somewhere south of $10 million out over...

    ISU vs. Iowa dominance (for Clones21)

    Agree. Which is why I don't think it's entirely fair to say UI AD budget - ISU AD budget = how much better Iowa should be, since they aren't funding the same stuff. At the same time, the extra sports are only about an extra $10mil (according to Google), so it is fair to say ISU is getting a...

    ISU vs. Iowa dominance (for Clones21)

    You're right. 6 more sports. 4 men's and 2 women's. Men's gymnastics, swimming/diving, baseball and tennis. Women's field hockey and rowing. Would be interesting to see how much that eats up.

    ISU vs. Iowa dominance (for Clones21)

    Probably. But why should they be different? I think what you're saying is maybe Iowa stays in a nicer hotel, or eats a nicer meal just because they can. Because they have the money too? I don't know if that's true or not, but that speaks to my point about how sometimes more money isn't always...

    ISU vs. Iowa dominance (for Clones21)

    Exactly where I was trying to go with this. The difference between CPR and KF is ~3million. Not sure the diff between Hoiberg and McCaffery, but it's not 27million. So if it isn't going into facilities, where does it go? I think this implies that, 1, ISU's AD is run more efficiently, but...

    ISU vs. Iowa dominance (for Clones21)

    Short of Kinnick vs. Jack Trice, where is the facilities "gap?' Surely you aren't insinuating Carver is better than Hilton. Isn't everyone always crowing about the ISU indoor basketball practice facility and indoor football facility over here? Isn't Iowa trying to catch up in that area? You...
