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.

Here's why the SEC will never do it- your not going to find 2 SEC coaches much less 7, that would be willing to give up a home nonconference game.
quote:
Since 1992, the SEC has played in 767 regular-season nonconference games, sporting a 602-163-2 record. That’s a .786 winning percentage.
The SEC hasn’t had a losing record against nonconference opponents in that 19-year span. The highest regular-season winning percentage came in 1997 when the SEC went 32-4 (.889). The lowest winning percentage came in 2003 with a 31-15 (.674) record against nonconference foes.
Teams from the SEC have posted 29 wins in the past five years against nonconference Top 25 teams (teams that were ranked at the time the game was played), an average of almost six wins per season. Nine of the 12 SEC teams have at least one win against a nonconference Top 25 team in the past five years with Georgia (6), LSU (6), Florida (4), Alabama (4) and Auburn (3) leading the way.
Since 2006, the SEC has posted a higher nonconference winning percentage (regular season and bowls) than any other conference at 231-55 (.808). The SEC has won no less than 43 nonconference games (regular season and bowls) during the past four seasons (2006-2010).
Also, since 2006, the SEC has accrued more bowl wins (30) and bowl appearances (46) than any other conference.
Excluding bowl games, LSU has had the best nonconference record of SEC teams since 2000. The Tigers are 38-2 (.950) in that time. Arkansas is second with a record of 37-3 (.925). Vanderbilt is last with a 21-19 record (.525).
