[QUOTE="froginaustin, post: 2832982, member: 785"] I have heard for years from people that think they know what they are talking about (and as far as I know, they do), that Iowa will call in all the chips it has and will ever have with B1G institutions, to keep ISU out of Iowa's B1G conference. It never really dawned on me why Iowa would be so militant. After all, they face a legislature full of ISU grads/fans, that might run the show at a crucial time sort of like TTech and Baylol fans did our lege, in 1995 or so. Then I think about the level of control that OkSU seems to have over OU's athletic business; that OrSU may have over UO's; that WSU may have over the Mighty Huskies', etc., and maybe the Iowa point of view makes sense despite at least the possibility of serious retaliation from ISU fans in their legislature. Good friends of mine have a life-long, bitter hatred of Ole Miss for keeping a boot on the ambitions of Southern Miss. But Southern Miss is likely forever screwed because not only do the huge majority of practicing lawyers (who tend to be legislators in disproportionate numbers) in Mississippi have Ole Miss ties, but also Mississippi State historically lines up with Ole Miss in the in-state discussion about keeping Southern Miss a second class institution among Mississippi state colleges.
