    *** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs #2 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

    Echoing what people said, played a game that wasn't even our best and very easily could have won. Officials were fine, simply too many empty possessions. Loss doesn't hurt the team one bit outside of a missed opportunity.

    Nope. The only time games are flexed is if one is cancelled or something of the like, or if its determined before the season (like the handful of our games that are listed as ESPN/2/U. The game was never going to be flexed. Use the Varsity App

    It's not even the latter. Its simply that they picked three Kansas games to put on ESPN+ against three of the worst projected teams in the conference. And was mentioned earlier, they can't flex games as they still have agreements with other conferences. If you flex something from ESPN+ to...

    I like how people argue this game is on ESPN+ because "its the two most rabid fanbases" in a thread full of people ******** about it. It's on ESPN+ because its Kansas against a team that was expected to suck this year.

    CFP Championship - Frawgs vs Dawgs

    When Ohio State finishes ranked second (deservedly so) that narrative will continue Question is if TCU drops further than third IMO

    TCU did nothing to help the narrative, actually will make it worse

    CFP Championship - Frawgs vs Dawgs

    Playoff expansion may make it more difficult for a Big 12 team to win a title. More access, but a team like Alabama was likely one of the four most talented teams out there, and now some of these more talented teams will have a pathway that they were shut out of previously.

    CFP Championship - Frawgs vs Dawgs

    TCU's OL and DL might as well not even be there, the difference in the trenches is immense.

    More people will tune into Texas-Kansas than ISU-Kansas.

    What kind of ******** TV Contract do we have?

    No, but if you bump a game from + to linear, then you're also bumping one down and I'm assuming they'd try harder to avoid that. Games do get bumped every once in a blue moon if a game is cancelled or postponed I believe.

    What kind of ******** TV Contract do we have?

    ESPN+ used to be the name for the games that used to be put into syndication and picked up by local stations. ESPN basically dusted off the name for streaming. That game was quite likely on WOI at the time.

    By the way, the exact same thing is coming for the B1G.

    ESPN and Conferences do not do deals based on bar availability for games.

    The other reason is Iowa State isn't exactly a ratings juggernaut.....

    Texas Tech has the second biggest arena and is second in the league in attendance. Its good enough to be a national game, but I'm guessing each school has to appear a certain number of times and this happened to be one of the games that they didn't think would draw crazy ratings.

    It's certainly not the conference game that will draw the best ratings for ESPN, if it was it would not be on ESPN+. Those are the games against Texas. Just because its the most interesting game for Iowa State fans does not mean its the most interesting game to ESPN.
