The ISU/Iowa game is always the second weekend in September (or maybe the second Saturday after Labor Day, I'm not sure which). I thought that recruitment started earlier in previous years and was completed by the rivalry game. If they keep the current schedule, they will always run into issues. I know they can almost guarantee there will be football games on the first 3-4 weekends after school starts, and at least half, if not more, will be home games for Iowa. Tailgating -- I mean football (
) -- is a pretty big deal, why alienate part of your student body from attending?
