Playing 9 conference games is profoundly dumb & 10 would be even dumber. That is, if you actually want anyone in your league to ever win a national title. Not that anyone in the B1G needs to worry about that anyway. So nevermind, they might as well play 12 conference games.

There's a line 5 miles long of lawyers that WANT a shot at the grant of rights, Jon. I'd bet every penny I have that a grant of rights has a dollar figure on it that would be negotiated just as the exit fees have been. If a school wants out, they'll get out.

This article is correct & the B1G will not get what they think they're going to get because of it. Being last this time may have profound impact on the future of the B1G.

This class is well below average, even by Iowa standards.

The new East-West split is a consolidation of power.

May God have mercy on our souls the day Gary Barta gets to hire a football coach. I am of the strong opinion that when Iowa does have to look for a new head coach it should be someone with a strong offensive philosophy because the game is so slanted in favor of offenses.

I predict that if Gary Barta ever gets to hire a football coach at the University of Iowa, Iowa will be Purdue.

Iowa is not "tough to get a handle on". They are a bad offensive team with a pretty good defense. Same as it has been for the majority of the past 15 seasons.

This is my second favorite thread of all time. Second only to the "worse than the death penalty" thread.

This thread is hilarious. I honestly can't believe there are actually folks left that think the B1G is even playing the same game as the SEC. The gap between those two leagues is a canyon. It will never be closed. The only B1G team that is any good is Ohio St & they'd likely finish as the 7th...

depends on what your definition of relevant is. If its about relevance in competition, then no, they aren't going to always be relevant. They're hardly relevant now. Really only Ohio St is in the B1G. I'd just ask you how long does anything stay relevant with a mediocre product? Not long...

Jim Delany failed miserably for a decade to "harmonize" oversigning. More than a decade actually. His single biggest failure in a long, long list of failures. And spare me the BTN gibberish. He was forced into that and it would be what it is today with or without Jimbo. That whole Network is...

I actually have always found it kind of sad that Jon doesn't share the view or more aptly have the vision to see what DiNardo is saying. Because Jon has a type of following that could maybe force some change or at least affect policy. While I agree the B1G is never, ever, ever going to...

How they doin'?

Yep Rushing yards, yards per carry, sacks. All those stats, Iowa is typically in the 10-11th range in the B1G.
