Just trying to cover his man boobs since he probably didn't wear his bro.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Manzier!

What he’s too fucking stupid to realize, is that if they breakaway, it’s not going to be 20 teams. It’ll be about 48 teams and they won’t be part of it. They’ll have plenty of teams for the other sports and will happily pay the lower level teams in buy games to fill their schedule.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I think it’s less than 48, probably closer to 36 but I agree otherwise

He should use it to cover up the ISU logo.

I'm sure Creed can now sleep easier.

Here's a cleaner quote of his comments:

Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard on SEC/Big Ten threatening to break away to form its own league:

“Let them break away. We should break away from them. Let them go, but they have to go in all their sports & see how fun it is to play baseball, softball & track when it’s just the 20 of you. That’s what I think we should do, but I'm one person & that’s probably a little more draconian. That’s how I feel about it. Like, let’s quit talking about it. Quit threatening. Go do it. But if you’re going to do it, you don’t get to just do it in football & then keep all your other sports w/us. No, take them all. See how fun it is.”

 

[newsbreaker]

Yes. Break away. Go for it.

Jamie- this tough talk is awesome. You go first!

 

[KitKatApples]

LOL good luck to YOU!

 

[The Dad]

Please god let this happen.

“just the 20 of you” was tremendously retarded. we’ll take whatever ACC and Big 12 teams we want (it won’t be many of the latter). The final number will be somewhere in the 40s. It will most certainly not include ISU.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

“If you don’t show us the respect we deserve we’ll join the MAC” is quite the threat.

 

[fuisu98]

2 of the 3 sports he listed, ISU doesn’t even have anymore. Talk about tone deaf.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

“If you don’t show us the respect we deserve we’ll join the MAC” is quite the threat.

In their defense that would require minimal schedule changes

 

[Fair and Balanced]

The podunk schools are going to be pushing hard for state taxpayer bailouts for their shitty school’s athletic departments. Will Governor #Sand support welfare for ISU?

 

[KitKatApples]

God I hope not

He's a hawk fan so hopefully not

I, for one, would have a ton of fun if we never had to play Iowa State, or for that matter hear a peep from their stupid fucking fan base, ever again.

You need to clean up your Twitter follows.

It is honestly impressive how consistently weird you manage to be

I don't want to be in a 40-50 team league without the ability to play the 'lower level.' It sounds like a recipe for 6-7 wins a year for Iowa. Better matchups, of course, but I guess I'd rather be a fan of NDSU than Northwestern, basically.

You don’t think lower level teams like Akron, Arkansas State, NIU, Iowa State and UNI wouldn’t line up for a few million dollars to get on the “non conference” schedule of the big league teams?

Then what does that solve re: ISU?

I was largely writing in response to @fossilhawk 's post. If even one of your 12 regular season games are against a non power 2 team, is there even the slightest bit of doubt as to who that would be?

 

[newsbreaker]

None of this is even vaguely coherent, and Pollard isn’t smart enough to know it.

There is no “break away.” You have closed professional sports leagues because they’ve been granted an anti-trust exemption, and there is no world where the B10+SEC+selected school get such an exemption. There are too many yokels in states that would be excluded to permit it ever passing.

So any “break away” would have to be open to anyone that could meet defined criteria, and it’s real damn hard to see how they define criteria that brings in the schools they want, and leaves out the schools they don’t. It’s why you have all this FCS garbage clinging to the ass end of FBS; you have to give them a path or it’s an anti-trust violation.

THIS is the end state. Maybe ISU goes broke and has to slash expenses, which means leaving the Big XII, but two leagues taking 75% of the money and 75% of the playoff spots is the end condition.

Pussy....yea you win a bunch of games that don't mean anything

 

[Shawneemicks]

They can form any league they want if they’re no longer part of the schools. Pay the schools for use of name, facilities etc.
I think that’s what ultimately happens & no more subsidizing the Mac + Iowas Sts of the world

No, they can’t. Being a part of a school has nothing to do with anti-trust.

Other teams would be winning 2-3 games, it'll be like the NFL. A winning record will be considered solid and we'll love seeing real meaningful games every single week

There isn’t a single school in that league that is competitively viable long-term.

I mean I see pods....Balanced and oh noes you can't load up on cupcakes and actually have to win some meaningful games
