    Iowa Football Recruiting

    Curious why ISU fans suddenly think Nebraska and Minnesota are crap teams. ISU is 18-86-2 against Nebraska and 3-22-1 against Minnesota all time. The Big Ten West is gonna be a tough mother this year with Minnesota, Nebraska, and Purdue set to move up. This is the most loaded coaching group I’ve...

    Hate Iowa but see what this one says

    You’re entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. The scoreboard shows 3 big ten wins and 1 loss against the Big 12. So, you’ve just posted garbage.

    Hate Iowa but see what this one says

    I don’t know if you realize it or not, but Matt Campbell has copied a lot of what Kirk Ferentz and Brian Ferentz have been doing in order to make Iowa State competitive. Iowa State’s bedrock is defense. At times you guys get tricky but ISU has a base D they believe in. You guys have a bunch of...

    MONDAY MUSINGS: Let's talk realistic expectations for next year

    7 wins sounds pretty reasonable - but there is so much to process heading into this year as Chris alluded to. Replacing the offensive coordinator is a pretty big deal normally. Even with an internal type of hire/HC taking over playcalling there is a transition period normally. I think the...

    OK - who wins the game on Sept. 9th ?

    Lotta optimism from a program that counts 11 wins in the preceding 4 years. I'll be brutally honest. Anyone predicting ISU to win are either not paying enough attention to the rosters, are on drugs, or are drinking the cyclone fan kool-aid. Iowa has tremendous depth on the defensive line this...

    All Iowa Football Team

    These teams are generally based on experience as much as talent. So while Iowa's QB might be better than Park, he's gotta prove it. Same for those receivers. Its why we play the games, but its also why your notion is irrelevant. Vandeberg proved it, and no one else has the stats.

    Did Texas unintentionally save the Big 12?

    I follow college football in general. Its the offseason. I live in Iowa and these figures are reported on by places like the Register. It's significant in terms of your schools resources to win or improve their program versus competitors. I also follow ACC, PAC12, Big 10, and SEC with the USA...

    Did Texas unintentionally save the Big 12?

    If you have followed the Big 12 media deals and conference distributions over the years you would realize that allowing Texas or Oklahoma extra room at the feeding table is nothing new for the conference. It used to be that the Big 12 would assign you money based on the number and quality of...

    Is recruiting that much better?

    I didn't say he was bad at scouting. I just said it was a concern. Its impossible to tell right now if he's any good since he is basically offering everybody. Ideally you wouldn't have to pull as many offers as he has in the first couple of years. If Campbell gets on the bad side of a few HS...

    Is recruiting that much better?

    If Iowa State is to be successful, they have to be developmental. No ifs, ands, or buts. I think ISU has a good one in Campbell, however there are concerns. With as many scholarships as they put out (some of which they've taken back), and some of the "offering when a certain other school offers...

    NOTEBOOK: What's going on with Tongamoa?

    Flat out the DL is gonna suck this year. OL should be much improved.

    The Big Ten Cashes In

    Schools and conferences are different. Conferences are a little bit more aggressive since there is a marketing advantage there and don't answer to much regulation. Schools/Athletic Depts have to answer to Regents. I know Iowa projected $45 million for 2018 for revenue distribution but that was...

    The Big Ten Cashes In

    No, those will almost certainly be the floor for where they come in. These schools generate these based on worst case estimates.

    RECRUITING: 2019 Council Bluffs QB talks ISU offer

    I would guess he leaves the state. Wave bye bye

    MONDAY MUSINGS: Big 12 revenue and a CCL prediction

    A couple things about this piece: First of all, of course the conference is fine until 2024. There is a grant of rights in place until then that prevents all schools from leaving. The ACC and PAC12 are similarly in place until their deals end. Second of all, lets explore motivations for...

    VEGAS: Iowa favored by 2 for 2017 Cy-Hawk game

    It was a mismatch with Iowa favored with the exception that Iowa did not have a running back to take advantage, in 2014, with Mark Weisman being the lead back. This year Iowa has plenty of depth with good running back prospects and a deep/talented offensive line. It will be interesting to see...

    Big 12 gets another revenue bump ...

    This is...sorta bad news. Since it appears TCU and WVU are fully vested, they distributed about $28-29 million per school compared to over $30m last year.

    Babysitters for Brian

    $500k is not much these days for an assistant coach. Get with the times, ISU. ISU's highest paid assistant is $454K and spends less than half of Iowa on coaching - of which, Iowa is only midpack on spending.

    COLUMN: 5 thoughts on the CyHawk beatdown

    This game was more about how good Iowa is rather than about how bad Iowa State is. Good luck with the rest of the schedule. Don't beat yourselves up - Iowa might be the best team you play all year.

    Could this happen during expansion?

    To piggyback my last post, there's a couple key thoughts I have about Texas - first of all politically they are a castrated steer tied to the Texas treepost that is Baylor, TCU, and Tech. While the B1G payout would probably dwarf the Big XII / Longhorn deal when you include the economics of...
