lol...I hear you. The business-side reality today, collegiately, and indirectly excluding the $$-side, demands Pollard's/ADs graduate kids in order to maintain scholarship-maximums without penalty.
Recruiting rules differed back when Snyder began at KSU, too. He also recruited a lot of partial qualifiers and a lot of very good athletes that were much less than stellar scholars. I was there at the time, but do not recall graduation rates. That would be an interesting factoid.
Fast-forward...
Overseas, try either of these:
Usagoals Free Live Sports Streams on your PC, Live Football Stream, Myp2p, Live MLB, Live NBA, Live NHL and etc
ESPN Player: Watch live and on demand sports video online
Go Cyclones!
What?! You've never driven Hwy-30 west...over the mightly Missouri-Mississippi Divide at sunset...encountering one of those magical, once-in-a-lifetime, moments as crepuscular rays dance around the grain elevators east of Arcadia...?!
A lot depends on what you want to spend along with where you want to be. Consider the official team hotel. Also, check with CF and ISUAA for their hotel locations. I know some folks staying over in FTW, which is my personal preference.
It was my impression schedules were being redone to better evaluate/accommodate the new additions to the conference. It'll be interesting to see how the new commish implements his vision and direction.
I really prefer we go to Houston or San Diego. If records are close, I don't see ISU in Houston...it'll be TCU. If nothing else Texas takes care of Texas. We'll go to San Diego and WVU to NYC.
