Seems like this goes way beyond athletic revenues and expenses. $240M is a huge number. A $20M annual difference in expected vs actual payout from P12 TV rights seems like a drop in the bucket here.
Tailgating?So a friend of mine …uhh has had some trouble finding the scoreboard. Any tips or tricks to help a guy out?
It doesn't bother me, but why get rid of an easy draw, this game is a good draw for whatever reasonI really wish our conference (and own AD) understand that is one of the best 2nd tier rivalries in the league (behind Bedlam, Red River) and worked to protect it. These made-up, forced rivalries like Iowa vs Neb just don't compare (it only had the viewers because of the time/lack of competition).
It might be a short rivalry, but here in Western Iowa both teams fans do hate each other. Iowa p#### fans and Cornfusker entitled fans.I really wish our conference (and own AD) understand that is one of the best 2nd tier rivalries in the league (behind Bedlam, Red River) and worked to protect it.

To be fair, it was a bad example because the proximity and type of fans make it a decent rivalry over time. A better example of **** is ISU vs BYU.It might be a short rivalry, but here in Western Iowa both teams fans do hate each other. Iowa p#### fans and Cornfusker entitled fans.

Last year the game didn’t even break 400K. Year before it just broke 600k. Both times the games weren’t very interesting or had much to add to the conversation and worst of all they were on horrible networksIt doesn't bother me, but why get rid of an easy draw, this game is a good draw for whatever reason
Would love to hear an ISU perspective on why we don't have any protected rival.Last year the game didn’t even break 400K. Year before it just broke 600k. Both times the games weren’t very interesting or had much to add to the conversation and worst of all they were on horrible networks
This years game was incredible, snow game, chaos, a ranked team losing, and on a real network. I would imagine if most of the games were like this one the Big12 would fight like mad to keep that protected. Considering KSU and ISU are easily two of the top 3/4 teams in the new Big12 I am surprised they don’t want that matchup to continue but that would have taken some foresight.
The only thing I heard (and it is probably conjecture) is that Jamie and the KSU AD didn’t work that hard for one. Don’t know why.Would love to hear an ISU perspective on why we don't have any protected rival.
Historically it has not been a good tv drawIt doesn't bother me, but why get rid of an easy draw, this game is a good draw for whatever reason
I see it possibly being viewed as an elimination game for the CCG. Why guarantee you face a contender every year when getting in let's you play for an autobid to the CFP?The only thing I heard (and it is probably conjecture) is that Jamie and the KSU AD didn’t work that hard for one.

If the offense can stay together, we'll be a draw next year.Historically it has not been a good tv draw
Are you guys going with the best two records playing in the ccg? Shouldn’t matter that much in that case.I see it possibly being viewed as an elimination game for the CCG. Why guarantee you face a contender every year when getting in let's you play for an autobid to the CFP?
