Give me a little latitude on this one and read the whole post before lynching me.
Suppose someone found a loophole in the Big 12 media agreement and figured out that Iowa State could get out before the next year.
Suppose the Big 10 came to Iowa State and said: "We'll let you in but you need to take a 1/2 share so that Iowa can get a bigger share."
The money would be better for Iowa State, but you would be making your rival that much better.
Would you do it?
The reason I ask is that is exactly what Washington State and Oregon State might be getting asked to do. Their option might be give their rival more money to stay in a watered down Pac 10/12 or be relegated to the Mountain West.
Oh, how the fates of Iowa State and Washington State have changed after the 2019 Alamo Bowl.
