"ISU is the only loser in the new Big 12"

One more reason not to listen to anything on KXNO except for Murph and Andy.
And I don't listen to Murph and Andy for sports information, but just to see what insanely random topic they are talking about this day.

Deace
Deace is saying this morning that Iowa State is the only remaining Big 12 school to come out a loser on the latest deal.
It's amazing how he's turned an extra $7-$10 million dollars/year ifor ISU nto a bad thing. Yes, it's true that the increase is even more for UT and OU, but we now have a situation where Paul Rhoads will have the financial backing to compete on a much more level playing field with the coach across the field. ISU's football stadium will now look like a major college stadium and Rhoads will be able to continue recruiting from Texas. I'm confident that given this financial windfall, Rhoads will have the amunition to significantly improve ISU's relative standing in Big 12 football.
I was expecting to turn on the radio this morning and hear Deace concede how he really blew another prediction when he said 24 hours ago that the Big 12 was still going to implode. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

And we've been so successful in the past? I really don't see how the tougher schedule changes things much. The additionally money helps alot more.
I can appreaciate these guy's opinions as that's there job but they are always being downers/negative. They are like politicians complaining about current conditions but never offering a solution. So my question to them is what would have done instead?
Re: DEACE is not the only loser on Iowa talk radio...
My point is that sports blog and radio hacks are very short sighted (and in the case of central Iowa anti-ISU). Iowa fans like to point out the equity in the B10 by stating that since PSU joined the league everyone but Indiana, Illinois and MSU have won the B10. Well, tOSU has won something like ten of those so whose to say we can't become the Northwestern to UT's tOSU? Or, dare I say it, the Wisconsin?
Texas has always had more money than everyone yet it hasn't translated into fifteen consecutive Big XII Championships. ISU can compete and succeed in this league.
Go Cyclones!
I heard David Ubben on ESPN yesterday talking about how it's basically a two team league now. He even dissed MU stating that they won't be an OU type program in the forseeable future.

I agree with the comments about getting rid of Iowa on the schedule. Have to schedule 3 cupcakes!!!
Do you have a point here? You don't have to tell any of us about the past, we get it. CPR is the future and his winning % vs. NU it 1.000. Give him a chance vs. OU and UT before you judge his level of success.
We have a seat at the big boy table still. It's going to be a while until we get to eat, but we have our seat.
That statement from a LOSER like Deace is actually a compliment.
Steve Deace. Michigan fan and Big Ten suckup.
Newsflash Deace. This deal made everyone winners in the Big 12. A Loser in the Big 12 is 100 times better than a "Winner" in the Big East or Mountain West.

Re: Deace
Is the increased revenue really that big of deal when everybody else is getting more money too? I mean, they'll improve at the same pace as we will - thus not changing a lot.

This is not a good deal for ISU. Yes, ISU will get more money but the disease is not cured. Eventually the disease will kill you even with more money. Say you had cancer. Someone offers to double your salary from $50k to $100k but you still have cancer and die in 3-5 years. Is that a good deal?
Go ahead and throw Baylor and KSU in that loser in the Big 12 scenario.
