I'm not sure anyone could have a better job at Iowa State than what Pollard has done.

Can you imagine what he would have done in Iowa City with Iowa's resources and fan interest?

(I started to type like three different cheap shots at Gary Barta here but couldn't decide on one so just decided to post as is).

When Cytown was announced I rolled my eyes and thought it was a pipe dream. I was wrong, it is not only happening, but it feels like it is going to be very successful. And they are doing this on the “cheap” for about 250 million.

As for Iowa, they are not moving away from Carver. BG is on the fundraising trail now looking for 65 million dollars or so to get luxury boxes put into Carver. I am not an engineer/architect so I do not even know how that works. The arena is built into the ground, so how you add luxury boxes is beyond my knowledge/expertise.

Carver needs a major overhaul. Dig up the floor, lower it and get seats closer to the court. That's the #1 problem with the arena.

ISU, by necessity, embraced change and progress.
Iowa, on the other hand, seems complacent and resistive to change
