Isnt our enrollment skewed because ISU still has to take every in state applicant, just the ones that technically dont meet standards are put on probation/remedial classes until they prove they can make it?

Or did they get rid of that law? I swear that was part of the rules for in state, for the state universities at one point anyway.

Which artificially inflates our acceptance number and why I hate when people use that as a metric. Because while those students are technically enrolled and accepted they are not fully off probation until they prove they can make grades etc.
Application into Iowa State is very straight forward and the University gives you the formula before hand so you know if you will be accepted before you even apply. I would think that raises the acceptance rate.

Seeing these Twitter replies reminds me of a friend’s wedding we went down to in Florida. We were seated at a table with some of their coworkers in Orlando and once they found out my SO and I were from Iowa, it was as if they smelled blood in the water and immediately seized attention on us, asking us things like “so what is there to DO in Iowa” in derisive tones. They seemed to lose interest once we told them we were from the Des Moines suburbs and lived a typical suburban lifestyle.

We’ve been all over the country and have met a lot of good people who’ve ranged from neutral to genuinely interested in where we happen to live but Floridians are the only people we’ve met that seemed to have a strange fixation on putting us down. There’s a unique population of people down there for sure.
A unique blend of native Skynyrd and the flotsam that floats downstream every November 1st staying and eventually reproducing.

Not exactly sure.
KSU is our biggest conference rival in football, and OSU is 2nd.

Basketball would be KU then KSU.
I would say Baylor is right there with KSU if not more for BB. Listening to King McClure try to run us down all the time, really tells us that Baylor does not like ISU at all.

He has to. Sometimes I think it's Gunner or the brothers JM4CY and JP4CY.
