They wanted us to move down

We aren't giving Texas ANYMORE than they have been getting percentage wise.

It's shocking you don't think this is good for us.

If this all holds together, then it's okay. But I don't think it's a good idea to be placing so much faith in them. It'd be one thing if it were all on paper in ink. At this point, it's barely even on a Post-It in pencil.

It comes down to non ISU fans using ISU to make themselves feel better. It's easier for example to "boast" Iowa by dissing ISU whether it's meaningful or not. For some reason Iowa fans think they are superior, yet we compete with them very well to the point we are closer to equals them lopsided foes. They will never admit this. By having ISU get left out of the Big 12, Iowa was looking at their potential gains. The population of Iowa isn't that big and overtime the impact would have been huge for all major sports to run through UoI. Law makers are thinking this as well... wanting one Big school versus two middle of the road schools (which we both are today).

The fact that all these non-ISU people are so concerned and interested is proof that this is worrisome to them... meaning they know this is good for ISU and hate that. They, just like I like seeing NE suffer, would relish a blow to ISU. They didn't get it after having within their grasp. I love seeing them squeal as they come to realize that we are in a better position and their little love fest of Iowa is not going to be helped by ISU. Love it.

If Iowa fans said nothing, that would be very telling as well, but their weighing in something that "is bad for ISU" is proof that it's not bad for ISU.

In case people glossed over this while reading this thread...+1 Sir.

All of the boards, even the idiot UNI hawk fans are spouting this same company line already.

Hopefully for UNI they can figure their finances out, but the hawk element in that group makes them distasteful. Of course the irony that people on here treat UNI like Iowa treats Iowa State is never lost on me.

So I suppose that I just feel bad for the few true UNI fans that there are. The rest are disgusting.
