ISU will never get an invite to the Big 10. OSU isn't getting an invite to the SEC. Tech, TCU, AND KSU aren't getting Pac invites. Wake and BC aren't getting the boot
this is stupid. The Big XII will just poach from the American and the MWC and call it a day. They'll be the new Big East.Correct.

I agree ISU has stepped up to the plate recently. But schools are businesses, they ain't in any of this to make friends. Its all about money and with football, recruiting. How many players have liked UT but said their main goal is to play SEC.
It isn't that no one cares, this was inevitable, its unfortunate others are caught up in it but its business plain and simple.
That's right, it's just the way it is. Unfortunate, but that's life.

I mean the writing has been on the wall for awhile in regards to the Big 12 collapse. I would assume ISU leadership has been preparing for beyond the Big 12.
If they haven't been, then its on them.
100% correct, the writing has been on the wall. Could not agree more. That's why ISU built up the stadium, paying our coach 5M, paying assistants 1M. I mean they built a top ten team the last two years and won the Fiesta Bowl. Not much more you can do. Again, I don't think it is anybody's fault, Texas is doing what they should do. Texas has no responsibility to any university other than themselves. There is only so much you can do. It's just reality of being a smaller market team smacking us in the face finally. But again, the issue that kills us is, so many really crappy teams that did nothing, did not try to compete, and are riding coat tails in EVERY SINGLE CONFERNECE....those teams are in and we are going to be out.
I am yelling at the wind here. I get it, nobody cares, I am going through he mourning process for my Cyclones here today, but I live in Austin. And have come to really like the Longhorns over the years. And it's a huge bummer.

Why can't Iowa State go to Pac 12 with Tech, Ok State, and maybe TCU? They have been dying to get Central time zone games
You guys don't want to play in Ames, why would they? Can you imagine USC rolling into Ames in late October? Hey Colorado and Arizona, instead of playing in California, need to to run out to Ames every other year on Thanksgiving. Never happening.

America is so fucked up. Your enrollment would decline and the town decimated because you have to play Boise State now?
Yes, the size of the university would decline steadily over time. No question, imagine if OU went to the AAC, dropped 75% of their revenue, and had to let Lincoln Riley go. Of course it would have an impact on the enrollment.

Fuck the Big 12. Fuck all the schools in the Big 12. Fucking hangers-on. Coattail riding bitches. I hope yall fucking cry like bitches. I hope the big 12 refs fucking end up on the street and their children get put in an orphanage because daddy cant make ends meet and mommy gets strung out on heroin. Fuck baylor for rape. Fuck tcu for dealing drugs. Fuck osu for 2015. Fuck ksu for owning us for a while there. Fuck ku for being a one-horse program. Isu, youre cool but your state sucks dick. Wvu, good luck in fcs with your high school asses. Tech…. Lmao. No one gives a fuck about yall here, or anywhere.
As of last month, we have the best athletic program in the country (Directors Cup, motherfuckers). Im sick and tired of these shitty junior colleges masquerading as flyover schools complaining about being left behind. Fucking do better.
This is Kevin Durant going to the Warriors.
So well said. Problem is the SEC has all the coat tail hangers on as well. Vanderbilt, Miss, Miss St, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas. Hell I would say Tennessee doesn't add much anymore to the SEC. SEC still has all it's dogs too.
What I don't get, is if the SEC is taking OU and TX...why not take Ohio State, Clemson and Florida State while they are at it? Maybe someday they will.
Either way, good luck to ya'all.

It would decline. The school's growth really accelerated as the football program became more popular over the last decade. The Ames economy is heavily based around ISU, and ISU football gamedays are a massive influx of cash.
Not having high level D1 sports would create a massive hit to the greater university on a lot of fronts. I doubt it would cease to exist, but it would be something far less than it is today and has been historically.
Yeah there is no question enrollment would decline. Agree with that. And we are hand wringing, because the Big 10 isn't an option. We wish it was, but it isn't. Big 10 already has Iowa for all those eyeballs (whether on TV or streaming) and does anyone think anyone in the Big 10 is saying "man, what this conf is really missing is a cold weather small market team."

You're literally the wealthiest program in the game right now.
I just need to unsubscribe from this thread. You guys really can't understand where I'm coming from, and vice versa. This is all fucking tiddly winks to you. This is literally the economic viability of entire communities for us. It simply isn't the same. Texas will always be fine. Always. Iowa State University could literally die as an institution if the worst case scenarios play out. Meanwhile, a million other schools that are less deserving and worthy of their position than ISU are sitting just fine because they didn't pair up with a bunch of cunts 80 years ago.
That's what really chaps my ass. Wake Forest is fucking fine. We're twisting in the wind. What in the absolute fuck? There is no merit in that. It comes down to a history of bitchassedness that many schools have been a part of.
Yeah that's what kills us. Minnesota, Iowa, NW, Oregon State, Wake Forest, Miss St, Miss, Vanderbilt, Purdue, Utah...etc...they are all fine. We have 65K stadium, a top 10 team, AAU, great fan base, and we are going to be playing Eastern Michigan.

This is true. Iowa State has never been more marketable in my lifetime.
Correct, but there is nowhere to go. It's nobody's fault, it's just the reality of the situation. The reason we are marketable at all is due to TX and OU (and others in the past) gravy train that after years of struggle we finally got the right people in place to compete. But there just isn't anywhere to land that allows ISU to stay at this level.

and let's not forget that aggy were the ONLY SCHOOL that stole the Orphan 5 bailout share. even corn gave up that money. only aggy took the money, like a fat little veruca salt.
clones need to direct their ire at one school more than any other which caused all of this.
I think most Cyclone fans blame this whole mess on ourselves not going to the Big 10 in the 60s or 70s when it was possible. In the modern era, I think most of us blame the people at A and M and Nebraska. Especially Nebraska.

They want Texas football players and our money. UT has more money, fanbase, alumni support, and academics than the rest of the B12 combined. At least the B10 has a little more balance. I think ISU fits well into the B10, more so than Kansas.
Cyclone fan living in Austin here. For me this is brutal, no Clones in Texas anymore. Was looking forward to watching them with my sons as they grew up. Now we will have Tulsa rolling into Ames, can't even watch it here.
I don't blame Texas or OU, not their fault. (I do hate Nebraska and Aggy though.) It's really bad for ISU though (and the other orphans). We did everything we could with the stadium upgrades and increased donations and throwing money at coaches. The stadium is 65K now and probably was going to 70K, student undergrad is 30K now. Now our TV revenue probably goes from 40M to like AAC level or like 10M. (Current AAC is like 7m). So we can't pay the coach that got us to the top 10 (which is what OU and TX always said we had to do), can't pay the debt off, the enrollment will decline, the local economy gets devastated. Our best recruiting class ever will all decommit. Last time this happened it destroyed 2 classes.
We finally got to the top of the heap and had our guy locked up for 5 more years, and now it is over.
For us it can't be worse, this destroys Iowa State, and not just athletics, it destroys everything we struggled to do the last 25 years. Not blaming anyone here for not realizing this since maybe you don't realize the dynamics in the state, but we will never, ever be in the Big 10. It's not an option.
It's AAC for us or something like that. I know you guys will do well in the SEC, will be rooting for the old Big 12 teams (except Aggy).

this year, yeah....but ISU has a really good recruiting class, best we have ever had, most of them will decomitt....plus Campbell will leave after this year. In a year or two we will be like a MWC type team at best. All the Big 12 leftovers will really.
