    The End of NCAA, Beginning of Semi Pro College Athletics?

    Or would NCAA basketball ban schools that do not belong for football? They’re either all in for all sports or all out.

    ***Rumor K-State & Snyder

    One would have to be more than a little naive to think these things don’t happen. Snyder is likely to get favorable treatment by the officials in his last game, regardless of the opponent. It’s just more likely if the opponent is a team like ISU (not seen as one that would challenge for a...

    *** COACHING SEARCH THREAD: Wednesday, June 3 ***

    What's the Intel on Larry Brown. Sorry if it's already been covered.

    WILLIAMS: And the coaching search begins...

    Who are the other top tier realistic candidates? Are they the same type as we have seen in most other ISU men's basketball searches? I really hate to think that we aren't reaching for the brass ring in our current favorable situation. Is it just a Cyclone inferiority complex?

    WILLIAMS: And the coaching search begins...

    Hmmm... It makes me wonder why so many people are trying so hard to convince others. Shouldn't this hire be somebody that does not require a lot of selling?

    Official 2015 Hoiberg NBA Speculation Thread

    'The Mayor', the legend, would not leave ISU, at least not before winning a national championship. The average individual, a mere mortal, might be lured away for perfectly rational reasons. Does he want to be The Mayor or just Fred Hoiberg?

    Finally... NOT showing Hampton Upset

    It only took three 15-2 upsets in two years, but they're no longer showing the Hampton-ISU game in the highlights of NCAA upsets. Maybe the world will finally forget! Wish I could.

    Yeah Larry! Give em' hell!

    CSU is playing very well. Actually looking forward to seeing them play in the next round!

    Yeah Larry! Give em' hell!

    I see Eikmeier is in. Another ISU tie-in for CSU.

    ***OFFICIAL BIG 12 EXPANSION THREAD 2.0***

    This realignment story is interesting, but I don't get all the negative vibes from some people on this site. Some post information like the Big Ten is the best conference or the Big XII is the lesser of the big four. Maybe those posters are closet EIU fans, otherwise I don't get it. Here's the...

    ***OFFICIAL BIG 12 EXPANSION THREAD 2.0***

    Ever?? I don't know about that. Came pretty close in KC against FSU. In fact, with review, we might have won. As for an easier schedule, I'm all for it.

    ***OFFICIAL BIG 12 EXPANSION THREAD 2.0***

    So, if UNC and Maryland leave the ACC, the ACC likely falls apart. First off, I doubt that the SEC is going to just let UNC go to the Big Ten. If they open up the expansion book again, they also take VTech. If the ACC falls apart, FSU and Clemson are probably Big XII bound. Maybe others as...

    When Legends Die

    You have to take full advantage when the other guy gives you the opportunity. That's part of winning. I've enjoyed the CMU victory from that perspective. It puts ISU in a better position for recruiting. A lot of it has to do with momentum. The more they lose and have meltdowns, the less...

    *****Official HawkeyeNation Meltdown Thread*****

    No mention of the no-call on the CMU 2-point conversion?? EIU fans that want to point to bad officiating might keep in mind that it went both ways. EIU could have easily been called for pass interference on that one.

    At least he's not Riley Nelson

    Say what you will about Steele Jantz, but things could be worse. Four picks thrown tonight by Riley Nelson of BYU against Boise State. Three picks in or near the red zone. WOW. Plus a BYU fumble on their own one. Couldn't help but think of ISU and come to the realization that things could...

    Voices from the stands: Western Illinois ed.

    Sounds like you might be more comfortable at home watching the game on TV. Why not get into the game? Stand and cheer. You might help the Cyclones win.

    Tulsa looks good!

    Tulsa is the best team we've played so far this year. Holding them under 20 points is more impressive than holding EIU under 10.

    Williams: A workmanlike win

    It was nice to enjoy an entire game at Jack Trice with no stress at any time. Beautiful weather, too. One problem with CW's analysis - Steele Jantz should not get a helmet sticker. You can't say that his stats/game were good with the exception of the turnovers. Jantz has to get this...

    Notre Dame to ACC as partial member

    Is it still $20M after the deal that was announced on Friday? The big question on ND: Does this trigger renegotiation of the ACC's media deals? Smaller questions: Does this and the earlier unrest (FSU and Clemson) drive the ACC to expand further? Could they pick up the other pieces in the Big...

    Travis and Tim

    Agree. Back to Bill King on satellite. Don't know why I thought listening to KXNO would be any different today.
