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

I want to believe but this is the same guy who traded for Rick Mirer....
And then imagine the meltdown coming from both directions when we win the West!
ISU and Wisky have ties with alumni/grad school type of stuff (not sure of the specifics but I think in the ag world) so may be a fun rivalry there.
Also I doubt it would hurt the WI bball pipeline.
One could hope but I'll temper excitement of this sort of stability until it actually happens or I see the mushroom cloud in Johnson County from WI.
This is certainly the case. If anything is going to happen for ISU to the B1G, there are only a handful of people that have any knowledge of what is being said or has been said. And I'm sure any of that information, if anyone at ISU has any knoledge of, has been placed under lock and key with a strict no talk policy. Also, there is no reason for the ACC, B1G or PAC to do anything spur of the moment. Their best bet is to let this play out and see what happens. Without the Big 12 falling apart, they could be in the same boat as the SEC if any real legal issues come out of this.
So, unless you hear someone from the B1G, Pollard or Wintersteen, it's all just speculation at this point. Dave may as well be my neighbor who thinks ISU would be a good fit in the B1G. I wouldn't doubt if ISU maybe tested the waters with the B1G, but I'd be surprised if anything was said either way at this point. I just don't see any real information coming out until it's settled what OU and UT are going to have to pay to play in the SEC next year.
I mean, we heard about Texas and Oklahoma first at the 11th hour of SEC media days. Stranger things have happened.
Yahoo in general, along with their sports, is some of the worst reporting out there.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.
Body blows that Oklahoma, Texas delivered the Big 12 will have profound impact on coaching carousel
With Big 12 revenues destined to shrink and recruiting made more daunting by the lack of being able to sell a top conference, Iowa State's Matt Campbell may turn to more of a traditional football factory.sports.yahoo.com
I've been wanting ISU to get an invite for years. (Also, I'm from the suburbs, I don't claim to be "from Chicago," so don't @ me.) The travel to games would be so amazing, and the Big Ten Network is the best conference network there is. ISU volleyball and softball would be on there all the time.
It's entirely possible that this, and the recent hints about no PAC 12 expansion, represent differing views in ongoing negotiations. Maybe some of the PAC 12 schools are balking a bit at the idea, and this is Fox's way of saying that this needs to happen to get the deal done?
Imagine a world where we commemorate the 100th anniversary of Jack Trice's passing...during a home game vs Minnesota.
Wait a second, just so I’m clear on what you’re saying.
We shouldn’t believe anything we don’t hear from official sources? Do You mean like reporters being fed information, too?
I'm waiting until we get nearly double digit Wannstedts before I get my hopes up.
Hey Your Holiness, I made a Molotov-Ribbentrop analagy a few days ago and I feel like you're encroaching on my analogies.
Have a moment of silence by the Campanile during the week leading up to the game. Like was done when Jack passed.
I gotta bail out of this thread. I don't like to get excited during realignment. Too much bad info out there.....
But a Big Ten Cyclone team doesn't just pop a rod....it adds an inch
Let’s just win a national title and make it a no brainer for the Big 10 to take us.
