Not ironic at all.Just a little bit ironic when we start declaring which teams need to be removed from the conference (other than Baylor). Aren’t we glad these potential re-alignments didn’t happen during the McDermott/Chizik/Rhoads era?
Unlike the schools mentioned, Iowa State is a founding member of the conference. This is an Iowa St board that’s been around longer than those schools conference members. And realignment did happen in those days, and as a valued member we ended up in a stronger, more lucrative Big 12.
