I'm not going to provide a link to CF website, but there is a fair amount of butt hurt about it and also some rational perspectives. The prospect of the ACC breaking apart and high profile teams likely headed to the SEC and B1G will make these two national conference. AD Beth Goetz probably has some hard choices, but not as hard as some AD's will face. I'm not sure where Iowa is at on paying for its upgrades, but I don't see where any new upgrades being started until things get sorted out.

ISU Facility On Hold

"The new wrestling facility has been put on hold. It's been postponed. We've told the donors that. Coach Dresser knows that. We've communicated that we made that decision three weeks ago. There's just no way possible to go forward and convince the state that we can take bonds out to pay for a wrestling facility when the College Football Playoff decided to take all the money and give it to the Big 10 and SEC. With this lawsuit getting ready to be settled you just can't go forward with projects like that. That's the same reason we didn't go forward with Hilton. You just can't bond for them."

Huh? What the heck are you talking about?

Iowa’s new wrestling facility is almost finished already. It’s $31 million and 100% funded by donors. There’s zero state or school funds being used for it.
 
The overall discussion has been focused on Carver Hawkeye Arena. My take is that was what was being referenced by "backwards Hawkeye" in the post above.
