Just a few years ago, ISU had better facilities than Mizzu, Nebraska and KU, around 2000 all three of those programs made a commitment of $2-10 million to baseball and since then all have made the post season. Mizzu has become a conistant top 15 program, Nebraska a consistant top 25 team, and Kansas a team that will reach the post season every now and then.
It would take at least a $8 million stadium to have a legit program in the big 12. With the talent base already in Iowa, combined with the JUCO programs around, I have no doubt ISU could be a consistant top 40 program.
Its nice to hear this is some baseball talent in the state. Since ISU has done away with baseball other programs have benifited.
The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have--and that is a moral problem, not an economic one. - Paul Heyne
