Your not even a good troll. You should just stop while your so far behind. Just FYI THE University of Iowa is a charter member of the B1G joining in 1899 when it was formed. And for the less informed Iowa like the other original conference members is a proud member of the research cancer consortium like all of the other original members. They do incredible work as a group on research and other cooperative endeavors more important than football. Iowa did NOT "luck" into anything, and they're not going anywhere....
126 years since the founding of the conference as a charter member, but who's counting...
No luck to it all. The State University of Iowa earned their invitation to the Big 9 along with Indiana as members #8 and 9.
Here's little reminder for those who want to knock the U of Iowa's historic athletic past:
1) The Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives (the official name of the conference until 1987 when it became the 'Big Ten') was founded on February 8, 1896 and is the oldest NCAA Division I conference in the country. More commonly known as the Western Conference, consisted of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Chicago, Purdue, and Northwestern. These schools were the original 7 members. The first reference to the conference as the Big Nine was in 1899 after Iowa and Indiana had joined.
** BTW, Nebraska first petitioned to join the league in 1900 and again in 1911, but was turned away both times. (Iowa State College has never received an invite even though they were mentioned as a replacement, along w/ many others, when Chicago dropped out but Michigan State took that spot. **
2) Beginning in 1892, Iowa and three other Midwestern flagship state universities (Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska) played for six seasons as founding members of the Western Interstate University Football Association. The WIUFA was one of the first intercollegiate athletic conferences in the United States, existing from 1892 to 1897. Early WIUFA play led to the transition of the famous rivalry between Kansas and Missouri to the football field as many of the fans and some of the first players on both teams were the sons of men who had fought each other on either side of the conflict in 'Bleeding Kansas' and later the Civil War. Racial tension surrounding the participation of Iowa's Frank Kinney Holbrook in the 1896 game (Iowa's undeated Championship) between Iowa and Missouri ended up preventing what may have become a long-standing rivalry between the two schools as they did not meet during the final year (1897) of the WIUFA's existence. (*Note: KU won the '92 title undefeated; Mizzou shared the '93 crown w/ KU, the '95 title was a 3-some w/ KU and Nebraska; and MU also shared the '94 title w/ UN; Iowa won the '96 title undefeated; and Nebraska was undefeated in the final '97 season)
3) In 1899, again playing as an independent (also 1898), Iowa completed its first undefeated football season, which led to an invitation to join the Western Conference, now known as the Big 10 Conference.
4) In 1900, the Hawkeyes finished another undefeated season and won a share of the Western Conference title in their first year of conference play.
5) In 1907, Iowa helped form the new Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MVIAA) which was and the second college conference formed upon its foundation on January 12, 1907. The conference was initially formed by an agreement among representatives of five schools, the University of Kansas, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University of Iowa, and Washington University in St. Louis. Iowa State College and Drake joined in March of 1907.
6) Iowa, which had only taken part in football (still a member of the Western), Iowa tied for the MVIAA Championship in the first season of competition, but would leave the conference after 1909 to return to sole competition in the Western Conference (Big 10)
7) Summary:
1896- Undefeated Champions of the WIUFA
1899- Undefeated; Invited to Western Conference (Big 10)
1900- Undefeated; Western Conference Co-Champs
1907- Missouri Valley Co-Champs
1921- Undefeated National Champions
1922- Undefeated
Love seeing that worthless bugeater husker get his teeth kicked in. Great job everyone!
- 1930 Suspension:
In 1930, the Big Ten Conference suspended Iowa due to multiple violations, including the use of slush funds, paying athletes for yearbook sales, and improper certification of athletes.
“iowa football, all the scandals, none of the success.”
You're getting your teeth kicked in, c0cksucker. Your lies continue to be proven wrong, again and again.
Just like the Nebraska football program, you live a lie, and everyone laughs at you.

Says the husker fan trolling an Iowa board and spam posting again.
This hipocracy is why your kids don't come home anymore. You've done a terrible job.
Fortunately for him the feed lot is a fun place and right next door to his middle school in Wahoo, NE.

They cant. Minnesota allows for school support of their programs. The state of Iowa code dictates the athletic programs need to be self sustaining. Meaning they cant bill students for the sports programs."
Was this ever answered in this thread? How the state of Iowa code impacts UNI?
I don't think so. You must first have teeth in order to get them kicked in.
And molest farm animals.
I recall an old Sports Illustrated issue from the 1950s with a Big 8 reference as "Oklahoma and the seven dwarves."
That must have been before Tom admitted all of the prop 48's, embraced steroids, enabled criminals, hid guns all in the name of beating Barry Switzer. He threw his halo aside, picked up the devils pitchfork and sold his soul and his credibility.
And yet way better than the old bigten from the same time.
I used to go to the UI main library, study for a couple of hours then take a break. I think it was the second floor where copies of old magazines were shelved.
Their article on Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile was excellent. 1954 I think?
