I missed you @Brodie0 I really did. Now it's back to ignore for you!
Where Will ISU End Up if the Big 12 Implodes?
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
Well, I was talking from a voluntary standpoint. I’ve never looked at the SEC bylaws, but I’d have to imagine that it takes more than 6 teams to vote someone out. I would also imagine there has to be some stipulations in there similar to misconduct type of stuff, not just a , “We don’t want you here anymore.”
They still need bottom feeders too. You can’t play a championship caliber game every week. More games = more money. The goal is to get as many high profile teams to the end of the season with the least amount of losses possible. That way they can get as many teams as possible into the expanded playoff.
It doesn't matter what exists today. what matters is what exists 5-10 years from now because that is what the contracts are based on. On one is saying it isn't still meaningful. They're saying it's less meaningful than 10 years ago and will be even less so 10 years from now.
Anyone else agree Brodie is an absolute loser? Get off the Cyclone message board and go enjoy your Saturday. We get it you think your Hawks are great!
Time is not a thing with Hok fans.
For example: beating Nebraska in football now, does not mean that you beat 1996 Nebraska.
I only have streaming TV services during football season, if ISU isn't in a major conference I'll never have a streaming TV provider.
The only people who seem to think this is about streaming and not larger markets and reach out is Iowa State fans. I've seen 40 fan message boards, and listened to 50 different media yet only Iowa State fans seem to think it's about streaming. We dont even have that big of a fan base. Hell NDSU probably gets more streamers than Illinois so why aren't they going to the Big 10
Sorry but if best case scenario happens, I want ISU to try to get into the Big 10. Texas and OU will be back in this position again when they want more, which is inevitable. I'm tired of their greed. **** or get off the pot. It's unfortunate that it is ******* over 8 other schools.
True but many cable companies starting to lose customers to streaming are also starting to move BTN and like programing to premium channels to cut costs to the consumer and to keep them .
This is not a blip that is going to go away, its a game changer, and its nothing new, people have been talking about if for the past 5 years.
Cord cutting makes your whole argument basically worthless and has less truth each month as more people cut cable and stream. So the old way of thinking is dying, and have two schools in a state will be less and less of a problem as we move forward.
You are completely missing the recruiting angle on this. This is about being able to recruit better for the big 10 also. You don't expand your conference recruiting power by adding ISU. If you are a school like Ohio State you want your games on a new market like Atlanta(GA Tech) more than Des Moines. It's just as much about recruiting as it is tv.
Give it a rest. You don't know crap.
You must be looking at old data. In 2015 it's was 56% by the end of 22 that number is expected to be closer to 45%. Also the number of people actually watching the product is rapidly declining.
Go ask fans on the big 10 board how ISU helps conference recruiting in an arms race with thr SEC. I'm sure adding the Western part of Iowa would be much more talent rich than say N.Carolina.
They may want to keep that handy for when UT thinks the conference offices, the championship game should all be in Texas, and when they start calling for special favors, like a rule to stop the horns down sign to their players.,
That someone is like today's media. Nonsense. The same goes for everyone on earth having cyclones.com if they have the internet. So, why would we ever join a conference? See how ridiculous that sounds?
