That is reason enough for me.Campbell would probably coach here for life if we joined the B1G.
I would love to know how much, if any, research is actually tied to the athletic conferences. I was in grad school and conducted research at ISU and I don’t remember seeing much of anything tied to conferences in regards to research. That doesn't mean it didn't exist outside my little bubble. So does anyone have any links or information in regards to cooperative research efforts facilitated by the conferences?I'd take the Big10 for non-athletic reasons. The research dollars associated with the Big10 would help the school more than a change to the football schedule.

But we have the Longhorn Network, that's pretty similar, rightBig 10, only because many more regional teams. Great for traveling to games. Also Big Ten Network.
Going on the assumption ISU was already invited meaning whatever hurdles to admission had already been cleared.Hok administration would never vote for that.
I want ISU to be in the Big 12, but get B1G money...
Does that make me greedy?
I can't really put my finger on it. I think I'd prefer a divisional scenario and a fourth non-con game. But I'm a ******* so what do I know?I'm curious, why do you feel that way? Genuinely think that's the first time I've heard of someone who doesn't prefer the round robin.

I prefer round robin but at least in the original B12 format it was every two years that you'd play each South team and you'd play each divisional team twice in basketball. You knew what to expect and at least had a playback season to season.
14 teams leads to 3 years' time between opponents in football, and only playing a few teams twice in basketball...just not as interesting at all.
Unless we get to play in the weak big 10 west like Iowa does where all we have to do is beat Wisconsin and we are in the championship game, stay in the big 12.I smell massive shakeups potentially coming down the pike. let’s consider that either options features would remain in place for the next five years and this would take effect for the 2021 Season.
Would you rather be in the Big 12 as it is currently constituted with the same teams, same round robin formats, same money, Tv deals, etc.
Or would you rather go to the Big Ten as a Nebraska replacement but we have to take the temporary money cut as a new member and we have to go in to the East Division with no special schedule considerations for Iowa?
I get that but it also kind of blows that the Big 12 has to deal with a loaded schedule every year and then you have the B1G and SEC who have the luxury of lucking their way into the playoff hunt due to unbalanced divisions and weak crossover games. Hell, the SEC and ACC are still only playing 8 conference games on top of that.
Each conference should play the same amount of games, so I agree there, and TCU got F'd in 2014 but Oklahoma has made 4 of the last 5 including not having a conference championship game a few years so it's not like the Big 12 hasn't been represented fairly in the current format (again outside of TCU).
