You need to hang out with cooler people - nobody I know wishes CUSA or anything on ISU/Kansas/KState. Not that the reasons are necessarily "honorable" or whatever, but I think most understand that teams are kind of held hostage by UT (and lesser, OU) and can sympathize.

After all, everyone hates OSU.

Now, part of that might be because the Big East has said they'll 100% take the 'rest' if the conference dissolves. But it doesn't much matter. In my (admittedly not comprehensive) circle, everyone realizes the Big12 structure is set up to enrich Texas first, OU second, and everyone else 44th, and that kind of sucks but that's the way it is.
Well, you (and I'm assuming the people you know) have a college degree. Most of the people cackling over the demise of Iowa State are barely high school grads who are Hawk fans because they don't know any different. They are the definition of TavernHawk.

The thought on the ISU boards is that if there is an eventual trend towards SuperConferences, the Big East is going to get raided, anyway, so it's no more stable than the Big 12.

Yeah, it would be nice if we didn't have to rely on Texas to keep the conference together, but that's the way it is. At this time, we are better off with them in the conference than without.

Yep, I think that's the bottom line for the rest of the B12, honestly.
