Where Will ISU End Up if the Big 12 Implodes?

yeah I would assume if ou and it negotiate a settlement and leave after this year…we will lose most of our recruiting class
Can we not at least acknowledge just how desolate of a program Kansas football is right now?
No matter how good their basketball program is, conferences have to consider it. They’d be the idea demotion candidate if the Big East was still around for basketball schools.
Remember the days where landing a 3 star recruit was great for us? Those days are coming back.
Call me a geographic purist, but how can we join the PAC-12 when our water drains into the Atlantic?

I can’t wrap my head around why we’re supposedly such a non viable program for them to add, yet Rutgers, Illinois, Nebraska and Minnesota are some higher class above us right now and are A okay.
Illinois was grandfathered in. As was Minnesota. Nebraska has a national fanbase and brand and draws a bunch of viewers even when they suck. Rutgers was a play to drive cable revenue (because in most of their markets they were able to charge $x per subscriber regardless of whether anyone actually watched their damn network)
If ISU would have joined the big 10 back in the day (50s i think) when it was invited, it would also be grandfathered in.
Less geographically challenged among that division than WVU is in B12.
Pretty far fetched but I'd love it compared to just about any other likely outcome. I guess that assume Kansas to Big Ten because he says KSU.
Are we sure this is true anymore? Sure it was back when they were where Alabama is now. That was decades ago and practically no Americans have a geographic tie to Nebraska.
At the end of the day no matter how rabid their fans, they have less population than Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma...and those three states aren't very populated either.
At one point Minnesota and Army were the marquee names of college football. Times change.
Correct. Really simple, it’s all about $$ and ISU adds legitimately zero additional revenue due to Iowa already having the market for the BTN, etc.
Perhaps 'had' would have been better.
Or at least they were perceived to have had it, a decade ago. They might not be so attractive if they were making that move today.
Had they stayed in the B12 I'm sure their continued drop into mediocrity would have somehow been seen as caused by the B12 and not just the reality no matter what league they were in.
I dont think television sets will be nearly as important as fans willing to pay for streaming content this go around.
There is no way any of the teams are going to sit in limbo that long. It would crater recruiting and be a disaster for all those schools. All OU and Texas have to do is announce they won't renew after the contract is up and the conference will move on within a year. No one will have any interest living in the unknown. They need stability. The schools will either reconstruct the conference as best they can or scramble to join other conferences.
You think they’ll blow up in the next two years? Sounds a little complicated for those two to leave yet.
In the past,, Iowa would have vetod any possibility of ISU becoming a Big10 member.
