    Big 12 Statement 9.1.2021

    Can't wait for the new season of Better Call Saul! I think I'd like him as a negotiator for the Big 12.

    Big 12 Statement 9.1.2021

    Just some questions: Are TX and OU still officially members of the Big 12? If so, aren't the remaining eight now colluding and creating a potential for TX and OU to withhold any payments because they were not in the meetings? What statement should we expect at this point, having been less...

    Pac-12 to decide whether to expand within a couple weeks

    Yep. No surprise. We'll just have to wait until the Pac 12 decides to move, just not at this time. Now, snarky comment alert: Do you remember the last time a conference said it won't expand? What happened to it? I don't recall if that other conference ever left the door open for...

    Oliver Luck Will Serve as a Consultant to the Big 12

    Who made the decision? Was it Bob Bowlsby, the AD's, a board? Who? Did Luck himself apply to the Big 12 to offer his services? Will his charge be to take the Big 12 in a new strategic direction, be the point person to negotiate new alliances or sell the Big 12 for parts and find us soft...

    Pac-12 to decide whether to expand within a couple weeks

    Makes sense to me. If I was at the table and being paid big bucks to decide this stuff I'd push to open up the Central Time Zone in spite of the distances created by adding any member of the remaining Big 12. ISU can re-establish a game with Colorado, and we'd be sitting between Nebraska and...

    "Oh boy, is this great." That's all I've got. It's all I need.

    Big10 - Pac12 - ACC Merger

    Let's get the family together and quietly have a private memorial service for the Big 12. ISU's future is in a new home with the opportunity to rub elbows with established D-1, P5 programs. In my opinion, breathing life into a new version of the Big 12 will be hard enough especially since we...

    Big10 - Pac12 - ACC Merger

    Is this why we aren't hearing a peep out of Bowlsby and our respective AD's?

    Big-12 / Pac-12 possible merger

    I fly 1200 miles 3 or 4 times to Des Moines to watch the Cyclones. I have seats in the Sukup. The only other time I've flown for an ISU game was to Austin to see that first win over Texas. I have a brother in Seattle, a college friend in Oregon, cousins in Denver, a college friend in...

    Wendy Wintersteen & Jamie Pollard Address the Fans

    I should have said "seeing." I'm not aware that any other school had both the AD and the President together making a statement. To me it shows they are "one" in going public. That's all.

    Wendy Wintersteen & Jamie Pollard Address the Fans

    One more observation: Which of the affected BIG 12 schools has made a statement from BOTH the President and the AD? Another reason why I like what I'm hearing.

    Wendy Wintersteen & Jamie Pollard Address the Fans

    We took the high road and said to the world that contracts mean something. I see integrity and the confidence to weather another storm. Name another ISU President/AD team who you would rather have in place. That's my Iowa State University and I'm proud to have graduated from this great...

    Wendy Wintersteen & Jamie Pollard Address the Fans

    Talking in front of lights and a camera is a lot different than speaking into your phone, laptop or desktop in a Zoom setting. I've done television performance coaching and she and JP have been put into the most difficult setting anyone can be in, especially if you are not already a pro at...

    Who is in the (BIG) Cyclone Camp?

    Trust me, it's not just Tavernhawks who are worried. There are graduate mega donors to SUI athletics who can't stomach this either.

    Where Will ISU End Up if the Big 12 Implodes?

    Those who want to save face will call it retiring. I call it being fired. Eliminating a position is a deliberate management choice and part of the decision making process is to assess the value of the person occupying that position to the company. If the management wants to keep the person...
