Can we start a petition for Bowlsby to quit please. This guy is an idiot. This is just begging at this point. This is a bad look, the more we give them the more we fall behind everyone else what the hell.

This would at least buy the other Big 12 schools time to find an alternative to the Big 12 conference. Unfortunately, in my view, could leave to CMC leaving after this next season and hurting this year's recruiting class. With the Transfer Portal what it is these days, I hope ISU does whatever they need to do to join the B1G, Pac or ACC.

My personal view is the B1G will not rush to add two teams. I think they will be patient. With that said, and realizing I am new to this board, there are posters on here that sound pretty confident in their sources saying OU/UT stay or ISU goes to B1G.
When the formal departure communication comes out the B1G will absolutely not drag their feet. They will grab two schools and move on.

Can someone else verify this?

As far as what's being reported?

Without delving into details, he's been giving us a couple posts a day updating us on what he's been hearing.

Naturally things in the AD are like they are during coaching searches though, pretty tight-lipped. But there's been some insights into what thoughts are in the department, what coaches are doing etc.

Given past reporting though, i'd be pretty confident that when there's anything to report from inside the ISU AD, the premium forum will be the first to have it.

Hope this doesn’t turn into a situation where the conference bends over and gives these two even more power within the conference. If they do by chance stay we are going to continue to see this stunt from Texas and OU every few years just to gain even more leverage.

Not exactly sure.

Maybe we can negotiate their media rights high enough and they still decide to leave but now owe us even more.

This would be so stupid. They’re going to keep doing this every few years. We never learn.
