Possibly Midnight Madness?

Why would it take away from football in you have it on a day with no football game? Why would it take away from exhibition games and non-con games when it is a free event held a MONTH before games start?
It would help the out of towners after a football game. Get the spirits up after the Baylor fball game...
Because for some inexplicable reason the AD thinks it would be a pain-in-the-*** to host such an event and these are convenient excuses for not doing it? I don't get it, it can't possibly be harder to host than Fanfest or things like that.

It's as easy as this:
1. "Hey, folks. Doors open at 5:30. Event starts at 6:30. Free admission."
2. Turn on the lights.
3. Basketball team does stuff. What kind of stuff doesn't really matter.
4. Fred talks a few minutes.
5. We all walk out giddy.
It's particularly awesome that these were back-to-back posts. Apparently 15 minutes is the period that tuco checks his query.
I for one can't wait for Abdel Nader's card tricks and Naz's interpretive dance number.
I wouldn't go out of my way to attend this, I am apparently in the minority.
And yes I am jacked for B-ball, just not for this.

Here's all they need:
1) Introductions/Player Intros
2) Dunk Contest
3) Three Point Contest
4) 20 minute scrimmage
5) 30 minute autograph session after.
Whole thing takes less than 2 hours in total.

Noon/1pm on a Sunday following a home football game would pack Hilton with people still in town from Saturday.

Also, quick talk from Fred. Nothing fancy, just the standard "Thanks to all of you for coming out to support out guys. I hope we can count on your support all season long" is all it takes for us to be all excited with that dreamy voice.
I personally think Friday night would be awesome. The people who want to attend this will be there no matter what day it happens. If you are more concerned about a High School Football game then I would consider you as not wanting to be there.
@TravisHines21: Official word this morning from Iowa State communications regarding the potential of midnight madness: There are no plans for it.
@TravisHines21: Interest in it from the program and, certainly, fans, so we'll see if that changes (in coming years). Been told it almost happened in '11.

You'd be surprised at the number of people who couldn't attend for that reason alone.
