Natural Rivalry is wrong word for Purdue/Iowa game...basically Iowa and Purdue were the last two standing. It came down to games like OSU/Mich, WI/MN, etc. having to be played so it just fell into place.
Barta said he is most disappointed that he would have loved all western schools to play each other, specifically naming Wisconsin. Said it was not possible to get it all but overall very pleased and what was right for the conf. 2/3 is very good
Talked briefly about 2015 when we go to a 9 game conference schedule. Said in years we play 5 away games we will not be playing a team like ISU on the road in the same year as we must have 7 home games.
Overall Barta is very pleased.
