Link to this information? I don't recall it happening but I also can't recall more than like 3 Iowa players over the last decade.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not claiming the big 10 west is good. I just find it funny that this site acts like it’s group of five bad, that’s just simply not the case.
How many other teams play 11 power five conference teams? I’ll wait for the answer…

Just sayin’ if Iowa really wanted to play Notre Dame they could have, and blaming Iowa State for that not happening is a reach.
Also - here’s Pittsburgh’s schedule:
Wofford
Cincinnati (Big 12)
at West Virginia (Big 12)
North Carolina (ACC)
at Virginia Tech (ACC)
Louisville (ACC)
at Wake Forest (ACC)
at Notre Dame (ACC-adjacent)
Florida State (ACC)
at Syracuse (ACC)
Boston College (ACC)
at Duke (ACC)
I count 11 P5 opponents - including, wait for it, Notre Dame. So it can be done.

I hadn’t heard that Notre Dame was on the table. Honestly, I think both Iowa State and Iowa would benefit by not playing every year. I’d hate to see the series go entirely away, but would rather it only be every other year to get some variety in.
I think the main argument that the B12 is much tougher because all 10 teams in the B12 had a top 25 SOS last year and you can’t say the same with the big ten west
Colorado also does it this year... 11 P5 opponents.
Cincinnati was not going to be power 5 when this game was scheduled.
It is extremely rare to play 11 p5 teams. I think Iowa wanted to bump it a year and still maintain the home game or something. I can’t find anything news articles on it but remember Kakert posting about it and why it didn’t work out. Does @ChrisMWilliams remember any details?
What brought the trolls out from under their rocks all of a sudden?
That’s a purposeful 11 p5 schedule. Again, it’s extremely rare, specifically because it typically takes one home game revenue away at least.
Just because we disagree does not mean we are trolls.
Few years back so 2019 with college Gameday in Ames or how about 2021 with college Gameday in Ames? Stop with these lies lol the obsession with Notre Dame from Iowa fans is hilarious, particularly because many older Iowa fans like Notre Dame as well.
I came here to provide accurate information and know that Iowa fans and ISU fans will never agree on things, even when facts are presented. Can’t wait for September.
Stating something on a website doesn’t make it a fact. Lol you do realize that non conference games are scheduled out years in advance right? The ADs don’t call each other up the summer before to schedule a game. Have some ******* logic
What does Gameday have to do with it? Stop with the incoherent posts.
It was on the table, not some “lies being spread by Iowa fans”.
Yes, I have ******* logic. If I remember correctly, it was in like 2018 for the 2021 season.
Now that it has come out that Noah Shannon was one of the 3 Iowa starters you were alluding to, and using the info from your posts above, it sounds like two of these three names are also involved -
Jermari Harris, Quinn Schulte and/or Xavier Nwankpa.
I guess we will see how accurate your inside information is.
