re: Big10(+1+1=12?) announces 9 game conference schedule in 2017

Iowa can't have a rivalry with ISU AND Schedule a home and home with another BCS school without losing one home game over two years

A lot of Iowa fans have wanted to end the ISU game for years since all we do is supplement their Athletic Program and we don't get much in return in terms of exposure or recruiting bonuses since Iowa can pretty much get any recruit they want from Iowa as is. Iowa fans are hoping that the move to 9 B1G games will finally force the hand of the athletic directors and drop the Iowa/ISU series, but I doubt that happens.

I would like to see Iowa/ISU play two out of every four years. That way they keep the game going, but it allows Iowa to schedule a different BCS school for a home and away in the other two years they don't play ISU.
