Officially we have 18 or 19. I think it may be T and F is spring and fall or they split a couple name out like Swimming and Diving are 2. I don't remember but do know that we are considered 18 or so.

18.

S&D is 1.
T&F is 4 overall (M indoor, M outdoor, W indoor, W outdoor) because the NCAA counts indoor and outdoor as separate seasons with separate championships.

You could even say the T&F athletes count for 6 because the distance runners are also the Cross Country teams (M&W).

There will be a lot of universities with this problem.

There are wide Swaths of our economy that are in Much deeper trouble than anyone seems to realize. Slowest train wreck I've ever seen.

But otherwise, as for the OP,

Iowa is like the guy who, when he gets a descent raise in his salary, immediately leaves his neighborhood and buys a big beautiful house and a $70,000 shiney new pickup to drive around, and then a year later he gets layed off.

Just your average U Iowa Doctor and Lawyer grads.

Makes you pause about the people who teach the students are the ones who evenly take over and make these decisions, what do they actually know and teach.

Can't the Big Ten network just raise their cable rights 20 or 30 dollars per subscriber? I'm sure those Rutgers fans in New Jersey and the NYC Metro would pony up in a heartbeat!

:jimlad:

That was what I was thinking. Just keep cranking up those cable and satellite fees. Wait, nobody has cable or satellite anymore??? Well shoot......

“Hello? Wells Fargo? Hey, this is Gary. What’s the rate looking like on a $75 million Stadium Equity Loan? Hello? Hello??”

One second, yeah let me take a look.... Oh that thing... 15% ought to cover the loan.

I didn't think that the people who have a disdain for JP's spending practices were ready to hear that those sports combined account for 1/3 of the total number offered.

It's a big reason that T&F will never be cut. It has nothing to do with Jamie's affinity for the sport. You essentially have two banks of scholarships accounting for a third of ISU's sports they need to maintain for Big 12 membership. And it doesn't hurt any that half of those schollies go to women.

I'm kinda surprised any major contractor would do work over there.

Can't wait till next year when the little light bulb comes on in the empty heads of Hawkkk fans, when they finally figure out why ticket prices went up so much and then wonder why there are so many empty seats in Kinnick.
