Big Ten expansion candidate: Iowa State
thegazette.com Copyright 2011 SourceMedia Group. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
The sixth installment in a series looking at 12 different universities that could potentially join the Big Ten
School: Iowa State- Location: Ames, Iowa
- Enrollment: 26,856
- Current league: Big 12
- Number of sports offered: 14 (cross country lumped together)
- Academic profile: Member of the Association of American Universities; 88th in the U.S. News and World Report National Universities rankings
- Why it would fit: Geographic proximity to both Minnesota and Iowa. Iowa State would provide both with a key in-conference rival. Academically, it’s in the same ballpark as Big Ten institutions. Iowa State has competed in a tough athletic league for generations and traditionally held its own in men’s basketball and played in several football bowl games. It’s non-revenue sports also are solid.
- Why it wouldn’t: Iowa State doesn’t add to the Big Ten demographically. The Big Ten Network already is in every household of the league’s smallest state by population.
- Final verdict: Not much of a chance of Iowa State joining the Big Ten.
- YouTube moment: Iowa State football coach Paul Rhoads’ emotional address inside the Cyclones’ locker room after beating Nebraska Oct. 24, 2009.

Outside of Iowa, I have not seen any sources really list ISU as a candidate. They bring nothing to the table. No tradtion. No new TV sets. No national power status in any of the big sports.
If ISU becomes a candidate if means the Big 10 is really desperate and I do not see the conference decison makers miscalculating that badly
Why even include ISU? There is NO WAY they will be asked to join the Big 10
ISU isn’t a candidate. The Big 12 issued an ultimatum to Nebraska and Missouri, but there is no talk of Iowa State being given any such warning. The best they can hope for is joining the MWC or some kind of remnant Big East BBall-first conference.
ISU isn't a candidate. The Big 12 ultimatum was to Nebraska and Missouri, and no comments have been made to ISU whatsoever. The best they can hope for is the MWC or some Big East remnant basketball-first conference.
ISU in the big 10? Is this a joke? Nobody on the national scene is talking about this.
Not gonna happen. EVER. They'll be lucky if they are allowed in the Iowa conference.
the time has come for Iowa to divest itself of 2 of 3 regent level universities, combine all 3 into one, with separate campuses – just like Wisconsin, and your credits can transfer freely between schools. if you want to become an engineer, you go to what is now ISU. if you want to go into business or teaching, you go to what is now UNI. get rid of these duplicate programs already!
