Both have had more recent success and both are MUCH more well respected nationally (not that we would ever consider adding either, just as a comparison). the only drawback i could see is that we'll lose a great wrestling program. I don't really see that as a drawback at all.

My neighbor has a family friend working at the Big XII offices. Anyway, he's telling me that there isn't anything on paper yet to get rid of ISU, but he did say that this isn't the first time this topic has come up (and he told me that the first time was even before all conference realignment started). fwiw
They bring zero value to the conference, and are reportedly an obstacle to progress.I'd be shocked if the conference wasn't actively securing the required unanimous vote to kick them out, which is possible to do.
They are one of our "smart" schools, but we seem to be getting rid of those anyway.
Think hard and try to name the best ISU football player of the past 10 yearsPretty hard huh?The only ones I came up with were Stanzi(Only because he is a chefs backup)and the guy with the indian name who played for the seahawks.

Was that within the last 10 years?

May have been more than 10 yrs ago. Was the only ISU fb'er I ever remember having any success against WildWildCats.

A quick google search tells me his name is TROY Davis and he ran for 2,000 yards in 2 consecutive seasons but still no one cared because FloodAggy won like 2 games both seasons.
gotta be honest, fellas. i may look like a buffoon for this, but i could have sworn that we kicked them out of the conference 3 or 4 years ago. I'm at a loss for words.
