They don't want to expand just to expand and lose money.

Makes sense.

I'm not paying too much attention to all the gossip & speculation but it seems to me much of the talk about more expansion is coming from Pac 12 teams hoping to be called up. Wishful thinking. Unless the Big 12 takes them, they might all be dead men walking, soon to be relegated to the MWC.

LOL
So now I'm speculating!!

"called up".....That's hilarious use of words.....they have indeed been relegated by their own doing...Big12 should snag the AZ's, Utah and Colorado and call it a day. West Coast (CA, OR and WA) is finished...

I'm willing to bet maybe Iowa State is on the possible list and Iowa doesnt want that.

They are on the ISU wishful thinking list, but that's about it.

I think the list is just ND. They bring enough income in that they can bring another in without dilution. I think he is referencing one or two of the PAC schools begging for an invite.

The Iowa AD is right. The B1G has enough duds in the lineup already and doesn't need additional teat suckers.

So this means Iowa State might have a chance against the Hawkeyes? It's going to be a road game for them.

While trying to find an early game of interest I stumbled upon Iowa vs jackrabbits. Kills me to think B1G is getting millions for this. Three yards and a cloud of astroturf, penalties and muffed plays.

Probably. They usually have a chance each year because that game is usually like a 6-3 kind of game. Iowa would be lucky to score 3 so far this season. Oof.

i cannot stand Big 10 football. I mean the score of Iowa/South Dakota State is 5-3 in the final minutes of the 3rd. How do people get excited for that?

Death, Taxes, ISU crapping the bed against Iowa. ISU has essentially outplayed them 4 of the last 5 and still found a way to lose those games

One thing for sure taking Iowa and giving up the 10.5 would have lost money today.

Was that the line for Iowa or the over/under?

You would have lost either way.
