So when Rutgers starts winning again with their top 15 recruiting classes and Schiano packs the place every week Rutgers is still going to be a bad choice? Can you look at anything past the last 2 years? Rutgers is historically a better program than Iowa State. The long run isn't even here they have only been in the league for 10 ******* years. You keep talking about ISU like we are a perennial football power. You act like the standings now are going to be the same for the next 30 years. Maybe Maryland hires a good football coach and start winning and Penn State starts losing? Who knows ? You can't sit there and say programs suck, have always sucked, and have no chance of ever being good. Especially when you are an Iowa State fan.Man you are losing this so badly you keep moving the goal posts. Not a single person currently in this thread is saying we are this huge value to anyone out there that is currently a P5 conference when it comes to the thing that matters, money. What people are pointing out at this juncture is the Big Ten's gamble on Maryland and more specifically, Rutgers not paying off in the long run. We know we are small population and all of that. But when it comes to true value to a conference from a competitive and growth (like a stock) ISU laps Rutgers all day. Stick ISU or Oklahoma State or almost any of the remaining Big 12 schools in a metro area like Rutgers and the Big Ten fans and head honchos would be drooling because they would get the market plus actual good athletic programs that people would go out of their way to pay and watch.
