What fire is Pollard playing with? He's increased ticket sales and total revenue. Iowa fans bought the entire allotment of tickets. If Iowa fans were so upset about ticket prices, they didn't have to buy them. No one held a gun to their head and forced them to buy them.
How does Barta get a last laugh if the series isn't continued? Iowa isn't the biggest draw for Iowa State when they play in Ames. Nebraska and UNI have both drawn bigger crowds.
Wanting to start a series rivalry with another school is nice to say but hard to do. Iowa has no history playing Nebraska or Missouri.
