Why would the B1G want Iowa State? Especially when they’ve already got Iowa.

The only ones discussing isu to the B1G are isu homers who have no clue what is actually happening.

Right. I get the humor of the Big 12 folks dumping on the B1G all the time and overnight becoming desperate to get into it, but ISU doesn’t expand their footprint, doesn't add any major media market, doesn’t add to their football credibility, and probably doesn’t compare to other rumored possibilities like schools currently in the ACC if non-football athletics are considered. I’m not slagging ISU, I just don’t see how it makes any sense at all.

Good point I saw made by Gabe DeArmond this morning: For the B1G schools to break even financially, the new schools would need to add $60M of value to the league’s payouts. Unless the big leagues decide to break away from the NCAA right now, the B1G may stay out. PAC and ACC should be aggressive. KU to the ACC might make a lot of sense, even right now. They probably need another National brand more than the B1G does. |

Wow, what a difficult place to be for all the leftover Big12 members
The uncertainty would suck, knowing that no matter what things are likely going to get much worse for you. ouch |

My prof in grad school used to day: “Your first option in any decision is to do nothing”. People often forget that. Applying it to the B12 rump....what does do-nothing look like? If I read this right, there’s 3 years left on that zombie TV deal OU and Tex just walked away from. So $350M split 8 ways now = $40m+ in the short run. I believe that gives them 3 years to figure out a plan. Not 3 days. |

What about the Big East? Isn’t that more a basketball conference?
