Yep, and half empty is generous. It was worse than that.
That's why the "careful what you wish for" rings hollow. Iowa fans aren't wishing for anything. They aren't kicking Fran out because he didn't win Big Ten titles. They simply don't give enough of a shit to show up.
What's the downside of making the move? Iowa has a losing conference record, misses the tourney, and fans don't come to the games? Like where things sit now?
I think Fran would have struggled to retain the better players on this year's roster. There was a huge risk in worsening the fan base's apathy...people aren't even pissed anymore.
