That's a fair point. When did Iowa join the Big 10? Have they not benefited by being in a conference with the geographic footprint it has and the population within that footprint? At the time they joined could the leaders at Iowa have foreseen what would happen in the future which has...

I'll try my best to decipher and answer... When did I say Iowa needs ISU financially (or in any way)? I hadn't really addressed the season ticket deal for 2007, but that was to get some of the ISU fans off of their butts. It wasn't to force Iowa fans to buy them...that's probably hard to...

Now the taxpayer subsidy? How long has Iowa been off of that? 3 years? So Iowa happens to have joined a conference however many years ago that would end up with competent leadership at the conference and school level and the right geographic footprint to start the BTN and cash in big time and...

I applaud your effort to address the data, seriously, thanks. But you'll have to excuse my "cyclown idiocy" here...why are you using 55,000 to figure number of empty seats per game for Iowa's contribution? I'm just not following your math. In 2009 the total attendance to the ISU-Iowa game...

Yep, I am simply out of touch with reality. Nevermind any of the supporting evidence. No. Thank Ozhawk for the page views.

Ha ha. Referencing the streak wasn't a jab at Iowa, just a statement of how I remembered the mood around the game. You apparently disagreed with my number crunching that addressed the 'subsidy'? I would be happy to test everyone's theory that Iowa State will fall into the abyss without...
