    Dog ideas

    I've got an American Eskimo...best dog I've ever had. If you're thinking pug you should also take a look at the French bulldog.

    looking for a San Antonio area Realtor

    He needs to seriously look into the Stone Oak area. A little on the pricier side but by far the newest/nicest part of San Antonio. Also, it is very well situated with 1604 and 281 making an easy drive to anywhere in the city.

    Big XII Bad for College Football

    CykoAGR, I like your point about diminishing returns. I hadnt thought about that. Like I said earlier more money is definitely is a good thing for ISU. I am worried about anomosity between the members and the long term viability of the conference. The idea of diminishing returns and an...

    Big XII Bad for College Football

    I agree to a point. The real root of all this is the NBC network with Notre Dame and the infatuation the Big Ten has for Notre Dame. I honestly believe the independent contract given to Notre Dame pushed all the conference network talk into motion and in the end helped spur the Big 10 network...

    Big XII Bad for College Football

    Imagine if most of that money went to OSU. We may as well stop playing the game and just claim OSU the winner.

    Big XII Bad for College Football

    I agree and have no solutions. Florida and Ohio State bring in huge amounts of money for their conference and have no problem sharing the wealth for the good of their conference. The problem is Texas, theres no doubt about that. I would like to see more even money distribution, which would be...

    Big XII Bad for College Football

    Im really not trying to get into a argument about Iowa and ISU. As far as the directors cup goes, I believe Iowa was ahead in the standings last year and the year before but I could be wrong. I dont pay to much attention to the cup to be honest. What you are trying to say is you believe ISU...

    Big XII Bad for College Football

    Youre right, in an ideal world of parity all conferences would have similar resources. This is not realistic. But, I would expect conferences to strive toward raising each member of the conference equally and allow for a competitive balance as seen by equal revenue sharing in the Big 10 and...

    Big XII Bad for College Football

    Im assuming you dont mean that ISU is far and away ahead of the rest of the conference. Then, the goal would be to decrease the gap. Not keep status quo or potentially widen it. Not saying ISU shouldnt be excited about the deal just pointing putting my thoughts in writing.

    Big XII Bad for College Football

    Growing disparity between money distribution creates a growing competitive gap. Thats hard to argue against.

    Big XII Bad for College Football

    The Big XII negotiating a new deal is outstanding news for Iowa State. This gives ISU the chance to settle down and look toward the future after a hectic month, to say the least. However, with what I have seen so far, there are potential major flaws with this deal that have to be addressed...

    How to save the the Big12

    Notre Dame has been invited before to join the Big10. In 1999 their faculty senate voted almost unanimously to join the big10 before their board of trustees eventually voted it down. If Notre Dame had no where else to go with their other sports that would be enough to push them into the Big10...

    How to save the the Big12

    Notre Dame prides itself in providing top notch competition for all sports. Settling for something like the A10 would never happen.

    How to save the the Big12

    Ive seen mulitple posts talking about contacting the Iowa BoR, or what is JP doing or pretty much discussing how helpless ISU is in this situation. ISU fans want to be proactive. ISU fans have the ability to bug officials and Pollard has the ability to contact other athletic directors. The...

    How to save the the Big12

    Who really controls expansion? Notre Dame. If Notre Dame were to join the Big10 all expansion talk would stop. The Big10 would not offer Nebraska or Missouri. Texas would stay put. The Pac10 would not get Texas and no other offer looks to make their conference any significant amount of money. If...
