Fans should stop all this fantasy scheduling. The series is here to stay for better or worse. I doubt we ever see a change to this series in our lifetimes.
I do think a two year on, two year off is the best solution for everyone.

Iowa State has played on the road against a MAC school 2 of the 3 prior seasons. The odds of them getting a home and home with an SEC school are pretty much non-existent, with or without the Iowa game. I can understand why Pollard won’t let Iowa out of the contract though; Iowa State needs that game for attendance pretty badly.
Hah, when is the last time ISU played a non-con against a P5 school on the road outside of the state of Iowa?

It's great for the State but I do think it's cool to see out of conference P5s play each other.
Considering Iowa State was going to get a home and home with an SEC if Barta let them I will say you're completely uninformed and wrong on the situation
Go they MAC home schedules sometime. You'd be suprised at how many power schools have to play there, it's not like the old days. MAC teams are in demand to play.
How about all the time there were four non-conference games? Iowa scheduled home and homes with Arizona St., Syracuse, Pittsburgh (twice) and Arizona. Where was Pollard's awesome deals to schedule home and homes with P5 teams then?
Um, you know the history of ISU football... No one was beating down the doors to come to Jack Trice.
And how many of those years were under Pollard where there were 4 non cons?
This right here. Now all of a sudden two SEC schools want to schedule home and homes with ISU?
Don't forget the Missouri backout. They noped right out of that contract in 2004. As Iowa was in their run of 3 top 10 finishes it's somewhat understandable.
