Iowa State

What did he do all of 2020 though? Was he injured?

Iowa State better win whatever they can this year, about to be regulated to the MAC or MWC and athletic revenue will be taking a huge hit. Thanks Texas and Oklahoma.

The Big XII is finally just about dead, and taking the schools that couldn't escape down with it. Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas A&M and Missouri all got out before the old ship capsized. Maybe Kansas could get a life raft to the ACC but that would be as bad of a fit as West Virginia was in the Big XII. Everyone else is regulated to 2nd tier status. Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Baylor, West Virginia and Texas Tech. They may try to add Cincinnati, UCF or South Florida, BYU or even Boise State (LOL) and keep calling themselves the Big XII. But they'd be so far behind the four actual Power Conferences that a rebranding might be in order. Don't want to constantly remind everyone what a shell of your former self that you are now.

Can't see byu getting into a power 5 considering who they are named after. Polygamy and disdain for poc doesn't fly well in the university system it seems.

This hasn't stopped every school in the SEC from being power 5.

Do you think the track and XC teams will be affected when Iowa State is no longer in a power conference? I feel that status is important in football and men's basketball, for sure, but maybe not as important in minor sports and on the women's side?

well, the school will have less money coming in from TV contracts but as long as the track team isn't eliminated, they could probably still field a decent team now and then.

Go Clones!
