Transcript
Summary
- Iowa State's non-conference scheduling is framed as a strategic tradeoff between buying wins and monetizing tougher road/neutral-site opportunities.
- The speaker questions why Iowa State would drop Iowa yet still play tougher home-and-homes, using Bowling Green as an example of a game that does not clearly maximize either wins or revenue.
- One proposed path is to schedule lower-risk home opponents, bank wins, and prioritize a Big 12/CFP push; another is to treat non-conference games as financial opportunities if the difficulty gap is not materially worse.
