Home and away

[CycloneOmaha]

When was the last time ISU and IA were scheduled for home and away during the same season?

Anyone know why it was stopped and why it would not be a good reason to start it up again?

Last time I checked travel costs were an issue in sports (especially wrestling), and I think OSU and OU still do it.

1991, after facing off four times in 1990 in a 37-day span (Ames, Iowa City, and twice at National Duals).

The two biggest problems are:
(1) NCAA limit on dates of competition
(2) Finding an open date in the second semester. The Big Ten schedule swallows a lot of dates.

Thanks for the info. Didn't realize they met that may times that year. I guess if ISU took care of business last year they could have met in the Nat. duals final.

Looking at their second semester schedule it looks pretty tight. Only non-conference match is with Okie state.

As a wrestling fan, whenever ISU/IA compete, it never gets old.
