IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

Adding Campbell to the league plus our AAU status is very intriguing for the Big Ten I've been told

PAC still has academic standards and I think neither BSU or Houston meet these. could be wrong if they meet them, but they do require a step below AAU status.

It's worth noting that Utah wasn't up to snuff initially but was admitted and has now attained the required credentials. So there is a chance that a school who was close could be admitted with the stipulations that they meet certain criteria. Seems like that would be a pretty tall order for a Boise or Houston but the pac might take the right school.

He might not be at the meeting, but does he play golf with guys who are? More plausible.

That makes more sense. I know he has worked at Fox and does both NFL and CFB coverage, but he has no reason to be in a meeting on the business side of things. He also has no reason sharing what he learned on a golf course on a radio show. I am trying to take it as rumor, but hard when this is the absolute best case scenario for ISU.

See you at Ryan Field!

It would be so fun to be there every other year. I love going to that glorified high school field.
 
But Pete Thamel said today that Iowa State is hosed and will lose Coach Campbell after this season.

Let's hope and pray that Wannstedt is right and it will be confirmed soon. Otherwise I don't think anyone can take 4 more years of this.

If this happens..... ISU makes so much sense in almost every aspect (other than the most important aspect $$)

Land grant university, high academic standards, Midwest footprint....a total fit

It would be a big big deal

And, they get Campbell as a confrence coach. He is someone that will bring wins to the confrence and he’s get for image! ISU wins big!
 
If this is going down, we aren't going to hear about it from Dave Wannstadt in the 4th hour of a radio show.

Quick someone find a bunch of clips of Dave Wannstadt being right like how the Simpsons predicted a bunch of things.

Does anyone else find it fairly strange and likely telling that at the beginning of that clip he didn’t even remember what city or even state he was in when he supposedly had this conversation?

No bc he prob is traveling all over the place...When you are traveling alot you can't recall where you were half the time..

The table in the link below is from the NSF and has research spending by universities in 2018. Not a perfect ranking, but shows who is spending what on the academic front.


CSU 65
ISU 70
KU 74
KSU 106
OSU 118
TTU 120
