Up next: A bill requiring Iowa to bring back varsity basketball
Would be curious which legislator introduced and their reasons.
I am sure Jamie wouldn't have have a problem adding baseball if the state is willing to pick up the tab for a baseball team and a similar scholarship count women's sport program.
But the timing seems pretty silly with everything going on in college sport today. Feel like it is more likely that schools will be dropping Olympic sports to a club level status than adding.
That screenshot says "BY WHEELER". When I looked up Iowa House Wheeler, the top hit was Skyler Wheeler. Says he's a rep for part of NW Iowa. His wikipedia page says he is a former baseball player. Take all of that for what it is worth.
Seems like a massive waste of time.
I lived across the street from the field. To say the games were lightly attended is an understatement
Wait until you see the other bill this guy introduced
Really understands what's important to Iowans..
Unfortunately his other one will probably pass
He's also introduced a bill to rename Hwy 75 in NW Iowa as "Trump Highway."
This will go about as far as the one a couple of years ago that would have required ISU and SUI athletics to fund UNI to the tune of several million dollars per year.
Are the idiots going to give back any of the 147 million they have cut from university budgets so tuition has gone through the roof? Jeff Kaufmann revenge tour on higher Ed.
He's the same guy that wanted Iowa and Iowa State Athletics to give 15% of their TV revenue annually to UNI Athletics.
This guy does not understand how anything works.
Hyperbole anyone?
The monthly average high temp in Ames is above 72 5 months of the year and above 62 7 months of the year. How is that "cold out literally 3/4 of the year"?
ISU may be closer to the Twin Cities than a few Minnesota schools but all of the Minnesota schools as well as UND are closer to Roseau, Warroad and Duluth which all produce college and NHL talent.

Let me guess. Highway 75 has a payday loan, casino, two liquor stores and a strip joint.
My conspiracy hat is on. Who proposed this bill? Is this legislator an Iowa fan? Making Iowa State field a varsity baseball would only take away resources from our other sports, we'd never be competitive.
But this sounds about as plausible as that law to annex the southern counties of Minnesota. Waste of time and resources even talking about it.
