The networks can't afford college football to turn into a southern region only semi-pro league that 75% of the country won't give two ***** about. This is the first step of the top 70 or so programs killing the NCAA for good in football and getting a big ass check from Disney. ISU will be fine. But college football as it is heading will be unrecognizable in the next four-five years. And I'm not sure yet if that's a good or bad thing.
COLUMN: What happens to Iowa State if the Big 12 implodes?

I think KU is an attractive target for the Big 10 and ACC. Academics and blue blood basketball. I think they leave the rest of us behind.
Recruiting advantage. Easy messaging to recruits. If you are a four-star Iowa kid why would you play at ISU in a hack conference when you can play in the B10?
it loses Campbell. But there’s no solution where we keep him so I guess it is the best option.
If Texas A&M can't stop Texas from joining the SEC Iowa sure as **** doesn't have enough pull to stop ISU from joining the Big 10 on their own
were gonna win the big 12 this year, i bet cmc is pissed at these new development and is going to teach some lessons
NIL was the catalyst for this monster. I wasn't sure how I felt about it before.... now... I hate it.
it was only a matter of time. NCAA drug its feet for years thinking they were above the law....
The SEC is all in on blowing up the NCAA control of college football. This is just the first move.
Hold on to your butts, the collateral damage will be huge until it all shakes out.
****.

its a far inferior conference to what we have now for what his goals seem to be. I thought we had a good chance to keep him in our current situation. I doubt he’d turn down Michigan if we are in some ****** division of the pac 12.
one things for sure our second favorite team this year needs to be Michigan.
I'd like to go with this, only have 11 games scheduled, 3 non con, 8 conference ,with a 9th conference game coming through a semifinal round for the pod winners to get to the CCG. Then matchup the other 14 teams by where they finished in their pod standings for their 9th league game the week of the semi's.
Campbell would have a better chance of getting Iowa State to the 12 team CFP in that Pac 16 scenario than he would in a new 16 team Big 10 with Michigan
1- ESPN 100% is behind this. No questoin...They get to elimnate the LHN and keep TX and not pay the remaining big 12 schools.
2- Saying ISU has zero chance to join the big ten is dumb. KU and ISU are only remaining AAU programs.
3- Unless conferences dissolve the Big ten isnt raiding ACC bc ACC GOR goes until 2036.
4- Barry Alvarez was just named the Big ten Football Czar. This can only help ISU IMO.

It sounds generally all right, and nothing says "Pacific" like the state of Iowa.
I could continue to say “surfs up” when I go to Okoboji and not look like a complete idiot
