My conference tidbit

insecure is having to always make sure people know you have money. I am quite comfortable with my pauper status.
Looks like the one in this very thread doesn't reference any of that. He doesn't saying about his status. He validated his source which, IMO, is perfectly fine. If he doesn't give a source then you would come on here and ask for one. The bolded is kind of a contradiction considering you probably feel the exact same way about anyone with any sort of wealth.
He prefers pauper windbags who feel the need to tell us they are peons with each post.
I'm neither super rich nor a pauper. I don't proclaim I am either one in any posts. Where does that rank me, I wonder? "Middle-class windbag"?
ISU will still be able to get the players that Texas, A&M, Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, LSU and sometimes Baylor don't offer. Shouldn't be a problem.
Not sure if K State makes the cut, they are already splitting up a 12 piece pie into too many pieces. Missouri is the one of those that brings in TV sets via population(5.8 mil?, even though it's split btw MU, Ill, KU and others), and KU has the BBall relevance. That locks up a lot of people in MO, KS, NE, IA watching football or basketball for those two teams. Iowa State has competitive facilities and good academics, not to mention good overall AD strength as mentioned before, this helps our cause but "footprint" does not. Combine that with the fact that MU, KU and ISU are all AAU schools. If ISU makes it in under some sort of deal with the Iowa legislature or something I think the Big Ten goes east/south with pick #16.
Poor academics, lack of state school loyalty and lack of overall AD strength screw KSU. Plus Bill Snyder is freaking 100 and can't coach forever and they know they can't win without him. Unless they pull some Weekend at Bernie's stuff.
Chill out man. No one would jump down your throat if you had said the same thing.
I would guess it will be roughly the same success rate we currently have with Florida.
Probably not, but that just means we'll start recruiting more states and be much more focused on picking up the best here at home. We'll start pushing OH/PA/NY. Our team will have to become even MORE focused on developing talent rather than recruiting. We may end up with 2*/3* being the way of life rather than where I think Rhoads can take us in the Big XII, which would be with mostly 3* talent and higher across the board.
Thanks for the knowledge. I just hope that Dr. Lloyd's definition of "change" and "good" are similar to what most of ours would be. And that he's on point.
Well, Iowa is the most rural school in the B1G by a long shot and they seem to do okay.
Recruiting, while an important piece of the puzzle, is just one piece. It's more important what you do with the recruits you can get. You have to prove you can win with what you have before you move up the recruiting food chain.
