Schlitz? So there is a positive in all this.........Compare that to the $40M per year in the Big 12. Yeah, our FB and BB coaches would empty that pot...leaving us Schlitz for anything else......?

Can we just give Texas back to Mexico?
Maybe, but I say we make it official!Won’t need to, happening naturally.
I'm starting to get my sense of humor back!! Yes!Schlitz? So there is a positive in all this.
Give me six schlitzesI'll have one. Make that two!!
The city to some small extent as sports traffic declines, but people drastically overstate athletics impact on a university’s revenue. Last year athletics made up about 7% of ISUs revenue.
I am not sure how much conference affiliation and research dollars matter. I’d suspect very little. But if there is some consideration at all about research dollars, ISUs external research dollars have nearly 3x athletics revenue FWIW.
Obviously a big hit to athletics hurts, but in the big picture of most of these universities, including ISU, athletics are in the public eye, but simply not the financial driver sports fans think they are.
B1G Ten should add ISU, KU, KSU and WV. Then you can split into 9 and 9 with Illinois Indiana border splitting the East and West
Make it a 30-pack. We'll split it!Give me six schlitzes

That's our division if we join the PAC. Call it the "Wild West."

Interesting theory but wouldn't this blow up 1 or 2 of the other 'viable' P4 conferences (PAC & ACC)? It also assumes BIG can cherry pick whoever they want. NOT.
If UT & OU cannot continue to compete in the current Big 12 deciding every political decision in the league and every competitive advantage available, the idea USC, UCLA & Oregon in the dying PAC can afford to sit still is silly. There has been a lot of grumbling from those school fan bases.
Oh yeah it did---OU is having the best recruiting year ever. Maybe they need to re-think 11 a.m.Article out of WVU says the real reason behind this is because OU was tired of the 11:00 kickoffs. It hurt recruiting too much.

The measure on how bad things with this issue are getting is when Schlitz is thought of as a positive.

This is factually incorrect.The politicians that care about sports are Iowa fans and their voters don't care about ISU. I suppose the Governor could try to lobby on ISU's behalf, but I think she's looking at bigger role in politics.
OK State is going to be the school that inevitably saves/kills the Big 12. The OK legislature could raise a stink that makes OU stay or they work out a solution to keep OK State fans/voters appeased.
