The real figures are a 591K payout to
ISU in 2006, and a 581K payout to
ISU in 2004, of which Iowa receives roughly 1/2 in return when the game is in Ames.

Maybe that's where the "athletic department crumble" came from.
Had to figure those numbers really meant something since you chose to single them out. The 616K shouldn't really be an issue since it has been an agreed upon contract, my guess is Iowa is bringing in plenty of money by playing this game in order to sign a contract that pays the visiting team 600+. The value must be there for the UofI somewhere or the AD that signed that contract may need to sit in on a finance class or two. I just hate the argument that the payout greatly favors one team over the other.
