This is ridiculous. I wish we could have threads discussing isu without a troll beaker fan derailing every thread.

We'd start a petition to ban Tuco but he'd turn the thread into a debate over whether or not Kansas will be in the NBA for the 2016-17 season due to them being so good at basketball.
I seem to be the ONLY perosn still talking about the topic of the thread. It is you guys derailing the thread, not me.
The thread on topic is Iowa State playing South Carolina, you have turned it into a **** show of KU scheduling.
Here is South Carolina's recruiting class for this year. Not much to help a poor team. It'll be fun kicked Frank Martin's *** again.

Iowa State has two open dates remaining on the 2014-15 schedule. All other ships have sailed. Assuming no scheduling conflicts (another consideration in this thought experiment) .. what schools would "gladly" schedule a home-and-home, beginning now?
My assumption would be that the vast majority of teams have not yet filled their non-con schedule for next year. It is very early in the off season for teams to be done booking games for next year.
Look, I get it. I am an intruder here so some of you will simply assume I am trying to dog on Iowa State without actually reading anything I am typing. I WANT Iowa State to build itself into an elite team and teams that aren't the traditional name brand teams need to consistently play in non-con games with more visibility to do that. Kansas had a nationally known rivalry with Mizzou that had existed for over 100 years. The times when the rivalry was truly great and meaningful was when Mizzou was also an excellent team in the Top 10. I am sick and tired of the Big 12 being viewed nationally as a one team league. I WANT ISU to make the Final Four. I WANT the battle between Kansas and ISU for the league title to be for more than just local bragging rights. I want KU-ISU to be more like Duke-Carolina, where both teams are usually Top 10 teams. If it results in Kansas winning a few less Big 12 titles then so be it. It will only make both teams better prepared for the games that matter in the real tourney. My reason for being on here hoping that ISU books better non-con games is rooted in wanting ISU to be a big time player. Heck, I seem to be the only person on here saying that ISU worthy of such lofty aspirations. You guys are dogging ISU by saying they shouldn't expect to be able to get those games yet. Expect more from ISU; they have shown they are capable of beating good teams more than just every now and then.
Iowa State will become a big-time player by competing and winning Big 12 regular season titles, Big 12 Tournament Titles and consistently advancing past the first weekend in the NCAA Tournament. Whether or not they schedule South Carolina or Dayton for a non-conference game will have little to no impact on the creation of a national rivalry between Iowa State and Kansas.
K-State played Tulane at Barclays Center last season. That arena will schedule any and all basketball games it can fit into the schedule.
I guess that's true. Maybe it's a game booked just to help pay the bills. That was an expensive arena.
And he was considered a bit of a stretch as well. Very athletic but not that skilled as of yet...IIRC.
If it was connected to any player(s) I would say it was to get a game for Dustin and Georges close to home.
