    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I think we’re saying the same thing but I’m not sure what exactly is going on here so good day to you.

    Also another fair option. But if we get to unequal revenue sharing, then why not just let anyone join the league so long as they agree to take revenue at a lower rate. There’s a whole lot of schools who would sign up for that. I just don’t think that actually solves it totally. Then again, none...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Obviously, everything is very fluid but as we stand right now I feel much better about our position due to recent success in football and basketball elevating how were viewed as a brand. We also have geography, viewership, and ratings on our side which all matter. Also, while things can change...

    Same goes for Texas. Performance builds the brand. But while performance is cyclical, apparently brand isn’t so much. Wish this all wasn’t going down but thankfully the Cyclones are peaking at the right time. We would have been Wazzu or Oregon State had the last decade not saved us.

    We also can’t conflate performance with value/money/brand. This isn’t about performance, it’s about dollar bills

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I think in the current climate you’re completely right. But if this evolves into being all about money, Rutgers brings your least brand recognition and value financially to the conference (I don’t have numbers in front of me just assuming). It’s going to be really hard for Fox to sit on the...

    If this is truly about money, what’s stopping the Big 10 from saying “sorry Rutgers and Maryland, it’s not working out and Oregon/Washington make us more money.” Instead of constantly expanding the pie, it would actually make more sense to trim the fat at some point than to say “Oregon doesn’t...

    Those are obviously valid points. Hopefully you could address some of that by intelligent non-conference scheduling. Playoff expansion is also a massive variable that has to be settled before we have clarity. However, we have to drive viewership and revenue. A regular season playoff for the...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Sorry to get this thread off track a little bit here but I think I have a creative/innovative idea to draw some eyes to the Big 12 if the Four Corners schools end up joining us. Ideally, I would like to see us maintain some geographic continuity and protect rivalries but also promote...

    I won't go down this road publicly. But, I think we both know I'm correct on this one.

    ISU Bowl game watch in Iowa City

    There are a few good places in town to watch a game but most are Pro-Iowa establishments. The Vine in Coralville has great wings and plenty of TV's but very pro-Iowa. Shorts in downtown Iowa City has great burgers. 30Hop has a nice set up. Red's in North Liberty will get you away from town a...
